There is a problem at Michigan State University that seems to be coming from the human resources department and whoever interviews people for jobs there.

Seems like the background checks are weak and if a problem arises from a staff member whether it's a professor, doctor, administration, staffer, or coach, it seems to get overlooked.

Let's start with Michigan State's biggest problem child, team physician, and assistant professor Dr. Larry Nassar. There were several complaints years before he was convicted of 22 counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct with minors.

Then you have Michigan State University Dean of Students Anthony Williams Jr. resigning because of drunken misconduct while at the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators conference in Chicago. Williams drank way too much at a hotel bar which turned into disruptive behavior and provided unwanted contact with a female at the bar and he had to be escorted out.

I have only mentioned a few names, there are other staffers who are no longer at Michigan State for a variety of unethical reasons. Why is there such a trend at MSU with bad hires?

Michigan State's poor hiring skills are in the news again as a professor is now on leave after his past bit him in the wazoo when a prior charge of operating a meth lab in the state of Louisianna while teaching at Nicholls State University was discovered.

According to FOX 17, Michigan State students were the ones who uncovered articles online regarding Professor Brendan Doyle's charges in 2020 of his alleged involvement in running a meth lab. Doyle was sentenced to 180 days in jail but only had to serve 90. Looks like another breakdown in MSU HR offices.

College Football Coaches Who Could Replace Mel Tucker At Michigan State

With Mel Tucker embroiled in a sexual harassment controversy and MSU experiencing an acute case of sex-scandal fatigue, we take a look at a short list of candidates who could make sense for Michigan State once its head coach position is officially vacant.

10 Realistic Candidates Michigan State Could Target For Next Head Coach

This list isn't like the dozens of others you've seen cobbled together with an amalgamation of next-to-impossible hires, like Nick Saban, and completely unqualified guys, such as Division 2 candidates and coaches who have been at a Group of Five job for five-plus years. This group consists of legitimate names who meet most if not all of the qualifications and needs of MSU's football program and who would probably be interested if the Spartans made an overture.

We've also rated each candidate in terms of the likelihood that they'll be seriously by Michigan State.
