Michigan State FB Coach Mark Dantonio steps down

[BigJCy]

Ah yes, the old "Bo Ryan-Greg Gard" trick...

Yep, exactly.

Wonder if Lombardi could get automatic eligibility? We need an older backup qb and he is from Des Moines right? He played some this year.

He is terrible. So inaccurate. Still no idea why he don't switch positions. He is so inaccurate.

Ya he is an athlete but is not a P5 qb. Should have switched to LB

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.

YES!

ESPNU radio thinks Bielema would be a great fit and could step in right away with no current college contract to get in the way.

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).

Saban took over the team when it was just placed on probation by the NCAA, it took him a couple of seasons to rebuild from that .

Uh, no. He beat Harbaugh once and that took one of the flukiest plays in CFB history. I think they would prefer he stayed and continued to run that sinking ship.

Uh, yes. Dantonio was 8-5 against the Wolverines. Not many coaches at "little brother" Michigan St. have had winning records against Michigan.

5. Matt Campbell, Iowa State
He’s better positioned to win now, and with a good team coming back he’s unlikely to make a move that’s slightly above lateral. His buyout dropped to $5 million on Feb. 1, which the school could afford. He’d be a good fit, but the timing isn’t quite right. Michigan State has already put out feelers, but don’t expect it to happen.

I'm getting my Rollins Shield Betrayal Gif ready if Pollard goes "Hold My Beer" and hires Brian Ferentz.

Reigns would be Fran
Ambrose would be Kirk
Orton would be Purdy

If he keeps doing stuff like this, I might just believe he'll stick around

 

[JP4CY]

Dantonio won multiple B1G titles and it's a slightly above lateral move from ISU. Didnt expect to read that a few years ago.

 

[legi]

Have they released details on Campbell’s new contract extension?

 

[Cycsk]

Dantonio has the most crushing defeat of the Hokeyes in the B10 championship game on his resume. He will always be great from my perspective.

They were talking about Campbell as a possibility for the MSU job on the Sat. radio tonight, like one pointed out, with the money he is making at ISU, the MSU job would not be a big enough jump for him to take. They all thought Campbell could be a lot chooser about his next job and wait for a blue blood job to open up.

0 chance CMC goes there.

I love that somebody disagrees with you posting a tweet. Crazy world here on CF lately.

@dorsy5 I’m watching you. \

He racked those up against Hoke and RichRod lead programs. In three years, he would have been .500.

Brady and Rich weren't the reason Dantonio's Sparty teams finished in the top ten in the nation four times.
