The day the recruitment of coaches becomes official, the Spartans The social media team announced another hire for Michigan State’s defensive staff.
After officially announcing Joe Rossi as defensive coordinator and Max Bullough as co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach, James Adams was officially announced as the team’s safeties coach, officially retained by the new coaching staff.

Adams was a rental made by Rossi before the 2025 season and is someone who is staying. Before joining East Lansing, Adams spent three seasons (2022-24) at Wake Forest as the safeties coach. The remainder of his career was spent at Purdue (2021), Navy (2020), Western Michigan (2019) and Charlotte (2011-2018).
It should be noted that Adams being named safeties coach, not cornerbacks coach, indicates that a cornerbacks coach will be hired at a later date.
