Solari also reported that current interim MSU Head Coach Harlon Barnett and the current football coaching staff have been relieved of their duties.
Smith replaces former head coach Mel Tucker, who was fired Sept. 27, after his admission of sexual improprieties during an April 2022 phone call with Brenda Tracy, a prominent rape survivor and activist.
