I am a little surprised that the OC is not fired yet. Many Spartan fans want him to be fired.

I'm more disturbed by what, from my professional medical perspective, looks like a case of anemia in Mark Dantonio. He's as sallow as he can be. Can you imagine him tearing into a slab of ribs specially prepared by the mother of a prize recruit from, say, Selma, or Foley Alabama? There would be far too much meat on that plate for any trust to develop! Plus he didn't even touch his okra or his collards!

No msu bashing but mark looks like a f*cking vampire or something. One mentioned Gollum (lol) but it's like a mix of Gollum, The Emperor from Star Wars (sorry, don't know actual name as I'm not a big fan) and a vampire. Just scary looking. As for the firing, they're going after a big Canadian DL and he fires a coach who has turned no name DL into real players and has Canadian experience. I just can't get over how bad he looks. Does he really have anemia aside from his heart issues? Again, not bashing msu. Real question.

Dear Coach Dantonio,
The only reason you've been winning any games the last few years is your Defense. Letting ANYONE from your defensive staff go is as dumb as we would expect from you. Carry on.

Bad Move
Bad Move
MSU had one of the top 10 defense in the country and best in the B1G. If something isn't broke don't fix it. MSU will regret this move. Moreover, they were better off firing their OC after their horrible offensive production this year.

In fairness to Roushar that
In fairness to Roushar that
In fairness to Roushar that team is one year removed from a good two year offensive run. If the O does not improve this year or next I'm guessing the Dantonio/Roushar thing will be the classic case of coach loyalty. Similar to Mack Brown refusing to let Greg Davis go for years until it was too late. Can't blame him. Coaches preach loyalty every day to their players. Not surprising when they are overly loyal to their coaches.

Roushar's only been their OC

Roushar's only been their OC for two seasons (2011 and '12). They were pretty good offensively in '11, but nothing really remarkable, especially given how much talent they had.

D-line was the weak link of
D-line was the weak link of
D-line was the weak link of the defense this year, they just couldn't get pressure. Look at Gholston, 2 years on the line and he developed no technique at all. But that's not the main reason for the fire, imo. He's getting old and he hates recruiting. The prospects that he recruited in the past few years:
2013 - none
2012 - David Fennell (Family Connection)
2011 - Darien Harris, Matt Romando (Family/friend Connection, eventually transferred)
2010 - None
2009 - None
