Biggest what ifs for your program?
Based off the WVU post below.
This is always a fun offseason question, what are some of the biggest what-ifs for your team's history?
Three of mine for Michigan State:
What if MSU gets past Notre Dame in 2013? They would've played for a Natty vs Florida State. I still am not convinced we win that game (that FSU team was beyond STACKED), but it would've been crazy to play for a Natty seeing where we were the several years pre-Dantonio.
What if Dantonio wasn't so stubbornly loyal to underperforming offensive staff? The last few years of the Dantonio era were rough with just HORRID offenses, usually paired with good defenses, that left fans super frustrated. If Dantonio actually fired the bad offensive coaches and got decent new ones, does he continue to maintain the success he had from 2010-2017 (minus 2012 and 2016)? Would he still be at MSU? Do we never hire Tucker and avoid him cratering the program? This is one I think about a lot.
What if Saban stays at MSU? What if the university went hard into putting money into the football program like Saban wanted? (This was before I was a Spartan fan, so I apologize if that's inaccurate, but that's the rumored reason I had always heard about why he left). Do we have an Alabama-like run?
