Could MSU have a NFL head coach in the near future? Check out point #1:

From the article: "1. With five coaches leaving the Patriots after Super Bowl LIII, one of the items on Bill Belichick's agenda has been filling out his staff, and some of the talk at the NFL combine has been that special-teams coach Joe Judge is under consideration to be an addition on offense. The fact that Judge was keeping an eye on offensive drills at the combine could be a tipoff that the team is moving in that direction.

The Patriots lost wide receivers coach Chad O'Shea (Dolphins offensive coordinator) and assistant quarterbacks coach Jerry Schuplinski (in the same role in Miami), in addition to defensive playcaller Brian Flores (Dolphins head coach), defensive-line coach Brendan Daly (Chiefs running game coordinator/defensive line) and cornerbacks coach Josh Boyer (Dolphins passing game coordinator/cornerbacks).

Judge, 37, was a quarterback at Lansdale (Pennsylvania) Catholic High School before he earned three letters at Mississippi State in a backup role.

For special-teams coaches with interest in becoming head coaches, there has been frustration in recent years because of their limited opportunities to do so. The most recent team to hire a special-teams coach as head coach was the Baltimore Ravens with John Harbaugh (2008). In addition to helping the Patriots, a move to offense for Judge would potentially give him a greater chance for a head-coaching opportunity in the future."
