EAST LANSING – Mel Tucker may have coached his last game at Michigan State and the program's former leader is coming out of retirement to return to the field. Amid allegations of sexual harassment, Tucker was suspended without pay , athletic director Alan Haller announced during a press conference early Sunday evening in East Lansing, as the investigation continues. Haller, a former standout football player with the Spartans, named veteran secondary coach Harlon Barnett as acting head coach and retired former head coach Mark Dantonio will serve as associate coach.
