Conference Independent Head coach Harry Kipke | 1928 record 3–4–1 | |
The 1928 Michigan State Spartans football team represented Michigan State College (MAC) in the 1928 college football season. In their first and only year under head coach Harry Kipke, the Spartans compiled a 3–4–1 record and outscored their opponents 153 to 66. In June 1929, Kipke was hired as the University of Michigan's new head coach. Kipke had been an All-American halfback at Michigan in 1924. Upon being hired by Michigan, Kipke said, "Coaching Michigan is the greatest football job in America. I would be foolish to turn down such an offer. It has been one of my greatest ambitions in life."
