“The one job I can see him maybe at is if Michigan State does open up. He’s got a lake house up there. I can see it,” Feldman told Todd McShay.

Smith is 3-7 in his second season and winless in Big Ten play, with Michigan State in the midst of a seven-game losing streak. While the school hasn’t announced a decision, multiple reports indicate administrators have already resolved to make a change after the season.

For Kelly, the Michigan ties run deep. His first significant stop came at Grand Valley State, where he won 118 games and two Division II national titles from 1991-2003. He later guided Central Michigan to a 19-16 record before climbing to Cincinnati, Notre Dame and LSU. In 33 seasons as a head coach, Kelly owns a 297-109-2 record.
