Traditions are big at Michigan State and they’ve escaped the last two coaching staffs before Pat Fitzgerald. His quote regarding Michigan State traditions at Big Ten Media Days tells the whole story. Pat Fitzgerald on leaning into Michigan State tradition: "I was born at night but not last night. Fitzgerald isn’t going to take a thing for granted and he has the perfect personality for Michigan State and the East Lansing community. I’d be more shocked if Fitzgerald didn’t get Michigan State to 10 wins regularly than I would be if he did.
