Dantonio-Hecklinski incident at MHSFCA clinic today

Submitted by SpreadGuru on
This morning at the Michigan High School Football Coaches Association clinic, there was a session on recruiting. Dantonio, Michigan Recruiting Coordinator Keff Hecklinski, Wayne State's coach and a few D3 coaches were on the speaking list. The session was to help high school coaches understand how colleges recruit and what to expect.

Dantonio got up and spoke about their season, Cousins, BK Cunningham and MSU. Hecklinski got up and presented how Michigan sets up their recruiting-recruit the state of Michigan first, then the Midwest, and then nationally.

Dantonio then burst in, interrupts Hecklinski and yells, "We're not here to listen to this. Move on!"

Many coaches in the room were stunned and many lost respect for State and Dantonio because of the incident. To Hecklinski's credit, he didn't add to the childish behavior and represented Michigan with class and honor.

Most coaches were stunned but the jealous, anger-filled behavior turned a lot of people off. Other coaches on the panel were visibly bothered by this unprofessional behavior.

Made WELL prior to the whole Jerry Sandusky news breaking, it was intended to satirze Hoke's recruitment success in ohio with that of Pedobear. Hence my somewhat creepy tagline. If I could've ever gotten my avatar to upload, it would've show pedobear with a winged helmet on.

At the time, this was hilarious to me.

I no longer find it funny...my sense of humor has evolved, and Jerry Sandusky ruined everything for everyone. Blurbtown.

I can e-mail you, or you can post something in the mod sticky thread (http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/moderator-action-sticky-1) with your new name and I'll delete your comment. Or you can just post here; I don't think anyone will hold a grudge. They just want a name change in light of, you know, the continued existence of Penn State.

Good god... I didn't think even Dantonio would sink so low.  I really hope this shows up in the DetNews or something so I can rub it in all the Sparty's faces who insist Dantonio is a classy guy.

To shout anything out during someone's presentation is quite rude, especially something negative. Sounds like it would be something Homer would say to be obnoxious on the Simpsons. Maybe he was waiting for a presentation on tooth maintainance so his gums no longer look like they're filled with put out cigarettes.

Same guy who engaged in a public verbal slapfight with a player from a rival team.  A college kid.  Dantonio is a child.  And good on Mike Hart, and apparently, Hecklinski, for goading it out of him.

That is possible but I still wouldn't call that goading but being honest.  I wonder if Dantonio would have had the same outburst if Hoke was speaking.  Maybe this was a combination of paranoia and an inferiority complex.  Either way, if the truth hurts, say ouch.  I wonder if Dantonio has a dog.  If so, it must have sore ribs and a size 8 shoe print on its side.

They were even throwing shots at Denard for being in the crowd at the basketball game on Tuesday.

 

Just remember that at the end of the day we go to sleep as Michigan and they don't.

The right reaction is to take the high road and it sounds like that is exactly what Jeff did.  The less we say about the matter the more of an ass Dantonio becomes and the more it helps us.  We only need to let Dantonio be himself and eventually the truch will come out about how big a douche he really is.

not to doubt the OP, but I'd reserve some judgement until we hear the actual interview or get independent confirmation of the context of the exchange.  Not that Dantonio isn't a total DB, just sayin......

what a D-Bag. from the info you provided it sounds like dantonio's speech was OT and completely missed the mark, while hecklinski was actually talking about what he was supposed to

lol this almost sounds too good to be true.  How stupid can Dantonio get?  I could see this coming from some high school kids bursting out and saying that, but a college football coach?

 

way to sounds like a child..  what a bitch
