After a season in which Michigan State’s offense ranked among the worst in the nation, coach Mark Dantonio decided to make changes. Dantonio announced a restructuring of his entire offensive staff Thursday night.

Michigan State football’s offensive staff is undergoing a major restructuring for 2019. But no coaches are leaving the Spartans. Mark Dantonio said Thursday that Brad Salem will take over as Michigan State’s offensive coordinator. Dave Warner and Jim Bollman, who previously shared the role, were reassigned to position coaches. “This is probably the most significant change we have had in my 12 years here,” Dantonio said. “But it is warranted.”

Michigan State’s offense will be under new management in 2019. MSU head coach Mark Dantonio announced Thursday a series of coaching staff changes on that side of the ball. Dave Warner has been stripped of his play-calling duties, and former quarterbacks coach Brad Salem has been installed as offensive coordinator and running backs coach. Warner will return to coaching quarterbacks, which he did at MSU from 2007-12.
The lone starter Michigan State lost on offense from last season was center Brian Allen. The Spartans knew they would miss their co-captain and the offensive line would look different this season. However, they didn’t anticipate it being shaken up this much. Through five games, Michigan State (3-2, 1-1 Big Ten) has used five different starting combinations up front.

When things aren’t going well, Mark Staten knows only one way to respond — by looking in the mirror.

Michigan State assistant coaches Chuck Bullough and Mark Staten spoke to the media Wednesday afternoon, to review the 35-21 victory for MSU at Indiana in MSU’s Big Ten opener last week, and preview this Saturday’s match-up with Central Michigan.
Michigan State had a young offensive line last year, and it’ll remain youthful up front in 2018. The Spartans can be both young and experienced, however, as four of last year’s main starters are back and only one is in his final season of eligibility. Offensive line coach Mark Staten likes to get his guys experience at multiple positions, and he’s doing so again this camp because he’s not entirely convinced everyone will return in the same spots they played a year ago.

Although Dantonio kept his memories of the game brief when asked on Tuesday, offensive line coach Mark Staten elaborated more on Wednesday while meeting with media members.” A lot of times people don’t know, it’s just a handful who know,” Staten, who was then Michigan State’s tight ends and tackles coach, said of a trick play. “It may be just the offense that knows that this play is coming or the defense knows that they’re running this blitz and everybody else is just watching it happen.”

When Michigan State coaches and players talk about how they’d grade a performance by a position group or individual player, they’re not talking about the classic grading system where 90 percent and above is an A, 80 percent and better is a B and so on and so forth. If that were the case, MSU offensive line coach Mark Staten said nobody would ever grade out with a “winning” evaluation. With that being said, he didn’t love his guys’ first performance of the season Saturday against Bowling Green, but he certainly didn’t hate it either.

Mark Staten reflected back the spring of 2013, after Michigan State’s offensive line trudged through a 2012 season filled with injuries and lack of depth. The Spartans’ coaches theorized somebody they didn’t expect would come back that fall and become a difference-maker. Back then, it was Jack Conklin. Staten wants his young offensive linemen to learn from that story. A 3-9 season and attrition along the trenches will provide plenty of opportunity.

Mark Staten knows he wants to take over his own program. Not right now, though. Michigan State’s offensive line coach is not in a hurry. Staten went through the public interview and hiring process for the head coaching position at Division II Northern Michigan in December.
