Washington Redskins defensive coordinator Marvin Lewis withdrew as a candidate for the Michigan State coaching job on Thursday.
"I'm going to stay here with the Washington Redskins,'' Lewis said at Redskins Park in Ashburn, Va.
Lewis called the Spartans' opening a "great opportunity'' and "very intriguing.'' He said a "little bit'' of decision was based on a desire to be in the NFL rather than college.
"I've been battling something here in the NFL,'' Lewis said. "We've got things left to do here. I'd like to be a head coach. I'm not sure where at. I just felt like that wasn't the time. There's some things left undone.''
