We are on Day 2 of Big Ten football media days 2026 in Chicago, and with it, we have heard from about two-thirds of the league's coaches and teams, including Ohio State head coach Ryan Day. In addition to the OSU head man, we also heard from P.J. Fleck (Minnesota), Pat Fitzgerald (Michigan State), Barry Odom (Purdue), Bob Chesney (UCLA), and Dan Lanning (Oregon).

If you are like us, we are interested in what all the head coaches in the conference have to say, and if so, then we have all of the press conferences from each head coach on Tuesday for you. In this case, we've got Michigan State head coach Pat Fitzgerald and what he had to say about where the Spartan program is and where he is working to make it go.

Have a listen. The Fitzgerald hire seems like a really good one with his ability to motivate and experience coaching at a high level in the league already. Coaching in East Lansing is a different animal than Evanston, so let's see how quick the rebuild is.

We'll continue to bring you sound bites, news, and commentary from the next couple of days at Big Ten media days, so be sure to check back.
