Michigan State football mourns the passing of former longtime Spartan coach Morris Watts, who passed away earlier this week. Watts was 88 (1938-2026). Watts’ career spanned more than 50 seasons in coaching, including 12 seasons at Michigan State as the program’s offensive coordinator. He served as MSU’s offensive coordinator on three separate occasions (1986-90, 1992-94, 1999-2002) and was the interim head coach for the final three games of the 2002 season.
