The 1999 Michigan State Spartans football team represented Michigan State University in the 1999-2000 college football season. The Spartans played their home games at Spartan Stadium in East Lansing, Michigan. This was the last year for head coach Nick Saban, who left the program on December 5 to take the head coaching position at Louisiana State. During the bowl game, the Spartans were coached by interim head coach Bobby Williams, who led the Spartans to a 37-34 victory in the 2000 Florida Citrus Bowl over the Florida Gators of the Southeastern Conference, with a last second, game winning field goal by kicker Paul Edinger.
