He did great things in East Lansing but he over stayed hi welcome. Looks like "Michigan State's winningest coach" according to Wiki: On November 27, 2006, Mark Dantonio was hired from the University of Cincinnati to become Michigan State's new football head coach. Dantonio served as an assistant coach at MSU from 1995 to 2000 and was Ohio State's defensive coordinator during their 2002 national championship season.[14] Dantonio was also an assistant at Kansas and Youngstown State University. In 2010, Dantonio led MSU to earn a share of the Big Ten Championship after finishing the year in a three-way tie with Ohio State and Wisconsin. His 2011 team won their division and appeared in the inaugural Big Ten Football Championship Game. His Spartans would win outright Big Ten Championships in 2013 and 2015 with victories in the 2013 and 2015 Championship Games. He has compiled an 8–4 record against the arch-rival Michigan. Michigan State's streak of four wins in a row, from the 2008 season through 2011, tied Michigan State's best in the rivalry. Dantonio's record also includes a 4–4 mark for the Megaphone Trophy, which goes to the winner of the Notre Dame rivalry game. Since leading Michigan State to a College Football Playoff berth in 2015, Dantonio has compiled a mediocre 24-23 (15-18 in conference games) record after blowing a 25-point first-half lead when Illinois out-scored Michigan State 27-3 in the fourth quarter of a 37-34 upset in East Lansing on November 9, 2019. [15][16][17] He is considered a defensive-minded coach and has been on the coaching staffs of Glen Mason, Jim Tressel and Nick Saban. On September 21, 2019, Dantonio became Michigan State's winningest coach with a 31-10 victory over Northwestern that gave him his 110th win at the program and moved him past Duffy Daugherty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't read that far. My attention span is about the length of one paragraph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
