People have been speculating all season the this one would be his last. Not surprised by this. I am guessing they go outside because of all the things that have been alleged the past two years against the program.
Michigan State FB Coach Mark Dantonio steps down
- Thread starter BigJCy
- Start date
Cincy has one of the top QB commits in the country. That would be a kick in the junk for them if they were to lose both.

I am friends with a guy pretty tied in there.
Good guy, used to work with him, kept in touch.
He says this does not surprise him at all.
Said they "have a plan" for the next step, too.
I don't know if he has any interest in being a head coach but Phil Parker at Iowa is a MSU alum. Problem with him is probably his age. I would guess he is close to 60.
I doubt they lose the QB. He's from Cincinnati, and it could be a situation he wanted to go to Cincy no matter who the coach was.
I love that somebody disagrees with you posting a tweet. Crazy world here on CF lately.
I read an article on him earlier that made him seem like he was pretty set on Cincy, but I've heard that story before.

Well his name isn't Bythebookaris for a reason.
Dantonio at MSU is a strange case. I think I'd describe it as a guy who did an incredible job there, but whose tenure has run its course for both on and off the field issues.
Overall MSU is an overrated job. With an 8 win season next year Campbell will match the # of wins in 5 years that Nick Saban accomplished at MSU. Seems like Perles is pretty revered there and was coach for a long time and was barely over .500.
Final top 10 finishes in the past 40 years - Perles (1), Saban (1), Dantonio (4).
Yep, it's not an easy job. Especially now when every year you are facing Ohio State, Penn St. & Michigan in your own division.
I've said for awhile MSU is ISU with a better home state to recruit. That's it. Dantonio hurt himself. He refused to change his staff over the past few years and it's rendered his program obsolete. He's also had numerous other stuff going on behind the scenes and with the institution as a whole. That said, I didn't want him to quit. I want that institution to suffer as long as possible for what they've covered up and allowed on their campus. We talk about Baylor and PSU all the time and never MSU even though their sins were just as egregious.
NCAA violations and they wanna send in Tressell? Lol
It is mind blowing how little turnover Kirk has experienced with his assistants. It's absolutely unheard of.

I was wondering why they had so many players enter the transfer portal. I wonder if the players knew this was coming and decided to jump ship. They have quite a few kids that held ISU offers out of HS and some of them went to Ames on visits. Maybe we end up snagging a transfer or two.
