Here's an e-mail sent to Spartan season ticket holders, from MSU President Lou Anna K. Simon:
The Official Source for Spartan Ticket Office and Athletic Information
Dear Season Ticket Holder:
It is important that you, as a season ticket holder, hear directly from me on the day we announce that Coach John L. Smith will not coach beyond this season.
While we have a focus on the future, it is very important that we have an equal focus on the remaining games of this season. The players and coaches deserve our enthusiastic and visible support at these games. A clear showing of Spartan Pride will make a dramatic statement far beyond the stadium, you can be sure. We ask that you come to our final two home games displaying the colors, wearing Green and White, and providing our student-athletes with your full support.
Please know that we remain committed to a program that is built on the right values and that has a sustained record of success for individual student-athletes and the team. Our decision was based not only on the current status of the team, but on the future. We determined that new leadership is required after very careful analysis of our expectations, our direction, and our current potential to have a sustained nationally competitive football program.
I am grateful for your support and your love of Spartan football.

They should have fired his ass at halftime of their Bowl ga...oh wait, they probably won't make the bowl game. OK, halftime of their last game.

Apparently the coaches have been screwing it up a little more than Sparty likes.

Thanks for proving my point, which--again--is that with a good coaching staff this team would be tough...the player talent is there.

Mariucci is the obvious choice here if I'm Sparty. But does Mariucci want the job? I have no idea...
