Michigan State Hires Coaches Adams and Boyer

Michigan State football has announced the hiring of James Adams as safeties coach and Jon Boyer as quarterbacks coach. Adams, who previously served as the associate head coach and safeties coach at Wake Forest, brings 16 years of coaching experience and a strong track record of mentoring NFL talent. Coach Jonathan Smith expressed confidence in both hires, noting Adams' extensive background in coaching defensive backs and Boyer's familiarity with the offensive scheme from their time together at Oregon State. The Spartans are looking to improve after a 5-7 season, which marked their third consecutive year missing a bowl game. Adams will replace Demetrice Martin, who left to return to UCLA, with a focus on enhancing the secondary alongside current secondary coach Blue Adams. The coaching changes are part of Michigan State's efforts to rebuild and strengthen their program moving forward.
