Is Dork Mantoni's demise all in our heads?

I don't care about MSU if that helps 

I hope the miserable fuck stays and continues to bury his program and school.

Cool, man

I mean by demise do you mean it is 100% that he won't be back next year? Because I don't think that is 100% for sure. However, demise as in his program is going the wrong direction and has been the last couple of years is not really debatable. I mean you are right that nationally MSU is a non story because despite MSU thinking otherwise at times nobody has ever given a rat's ass about them nationally. 

It won't be a demise if he wins this weekend.

Hope so his face is epic after Michigan losses hope to see it for many years

And most of the state of Michigan does not care for them either.

Mork always wanted to be unknown or have the appearance of being unknown.

After watching the coaching stupidity Mork displayed in the Arizona State and Illinois games - there is no question he is dumb enough to return next year.

And I hope he does - 2020 is going to get really ugly for Sparty football.  Mork's "legacy" will deterioriate rapidly the longer he stays.

I almost feel sorry for him.  Almost.  Fuck him and Sparty.

I think it's more likely he stays rather than get fired or retire. I think winning the game is more about putting a foot definitively down on a rival and positioning yourself as the dominant team.

All I care about is Michigan kicking his ass this Saturday.  (Or just beating him at the very least.)

His future, his demise or whether his angry constipated face finally falls in on itself seems more like an off season topic. 

Beat now.  Speculate later. 

I couldn't care less about Dantonio.  All this misery he's brought on himself and if MSU wants to keep him around; great.  The rot has begun and can't be reversed at this point, so please Mark, dig in, stick around, and further tarnish this legacy that all those mouth-breathers over at RCMB seem to revere.

. Sparty is ignored everywhere but the state of Michigan.

Yes.  The reality is Staee is a regional school.  Their biggest presence outside of the state is in Chicago.  That chafes lil bro.

Michigan on the other hand is an international brand.

I'll believe Mork is done when I see it.  My guess, when he gets deposed after the season, that will influence his future employment more than anything else.  If left up to Mork himself, he ain't going anywhere.

I think much depends upon the Blackwell deposition / trial. MSU may be forced to move if things go bad there.

I hope he stays. One of the great joys in college football (for me anyway) is to see him with that sourpuss face on the sidelines when they are getting beat.

LOL. I have never seen that variation of his name, but it made me laugh aloud. How sophomoric of me, but whatever.

I don't understand the connection you're making between the amount of national publicity they're getting and Dantonio's future.  Even when strong, MSU football gets limited national attention.  

Dantonio almost certainly will not be fired unless he pulls a Woody Hayes.  He's MSU's winningest coach.  But there is some reason to believe that he'll call it a career sometime soon.

I doubt he would want to hang on more years just to try and beat Michigan one more time. If we beat them Saturday, he will be 8-5 against Michigan in his career. A very respectable record for an MSU coach. He would retire with alot of goodwill from the program and fans, regardless. 

Their team is going to be awful next year unless something drastic happens. Their schedule is not easy. N'W, @BYU, Toledo, Miami FL, @Iowa, Michigan, OSU, @Indiana, Minnesota, @PSU, Rutgers, @Maryland. With how their offense has looked, plus they'll be replacing their Qb and no skill player depth, losing some good players on defense, recruiting has been mediocre........If you told me they only won 3-4 games next year, I would not be surprised. 

Dantonio hanging on, hoping for one more win against Michigan is going to get his record against us to .500 or worse in the process. Might as well leave with a very good winning%. 

Just win Saturday and not worry if he comes back or not. We are 2-2 vs him in the Harbaugh era. 2-3 would suck ass. Win the game. 

I think pretty soon we are going to reach danger levels of mocking MSU, where the only possible outcome is some cosmic negative-karma supernatural event resulting in a loss.

So with that in mind:

Michigan State is a very gritty tough minded football team with good players and they always come to play.  They have had some tough breaks this year with injuries and a tough schedule that really took its toll.  Michigan is a big game for them and there is no doubt they will show up and be ready to go.  Both teams will be ready and will play hard, and the better team will prevail.

Another thought provoking thread created to stimulate the mind. Genius. Fucking genius!

I Iive in California and can confirm absolutely nobody cares about MSU.  Nobody.

The greatest demise of all would be to return to the days when they hated us and we were indifferent. 

fave name for Mork so far...

I truly hope Dantonio keeps coming back, it would be amazing to see that awful look on his face every year Michigan continues to smash them into oblivion. His claim to fame will be the "trouble with the snap" 2015 playoff run which began the downfall of his program, sans the 10-3 record in 2017. Staeee will never again make the CFP and I am willing to bet they go at least 5+ years without making it back to Indy. They are now relegated back to nothingness.
