| Saints officially hire Michigan State OC Dan Roushar to RB Coach (Posted on 2/16/13 at 2:49 pm)

quote:
Michigan State second-year offensive coordinator Dan Roushar is leaving to become running backs coach for the New Orleans Saints, MSU confirmed today. MSU released the following statement from Roushar: “The New Orleans Saints and Michigan State are built on similar models, with a focus on character and people. New Orleans has won a Super Bowl, and over the last five years, the Saints have been one of the winningest organizations in the NFL. I’ve had an opportunity to work for Mark Dantonio – in my opinion, the best college football coach in America – for the last eight years, including the last six seasons at Michigan State. Now, I have an opportunity to work for arguably the best coach in the NFL, in Sean Payton. Professionally, this is an opportunity I simply couldn’t pass up. Now as a running backs coach, I have the chance to learn the interworking of the NFL.
I will say I was not a fan of his as an OC (although it wasn't all his fault for the offensive issues) at MSU, but I think he'll do well. I knew Brett Ingalls from his time at NW as an OL coach, so that role should be fairly easy to transition too.

How was the oline under his tenure at MSU? I see he was there from 2007-2010 as the Oline coach

Not very good, but it was constantly depleted due to injury.

i thought I remembered MSU having a pretty good running game and pretty good offense excluding this year. Guess that's what I get for only watching a few games

Sparty had some pretty good RB's go through in recent years. Javon Ringer and Le'Veon Bell come to mind.
