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

Why should we care?
Because it's more relevant
Because it's more relevant than a drinking or retiring thread.
Also I like to think Tom Gholston's underacheiving had something to do with this, which is enjoyable to me.

Well they don't have any d-linemen so I don't see why they need a DL coach.

Interesting. Was it Ted Gill
Interesting. Was it Ted Gill who was responsible for MSU's DL being pretty good the past few years, or was it the D coord?
Ligitimate question, I really don't know. This seems an odd move to me
Agreed.
Ted Gill has a very good resume.

Coach D: "Ted, come in here a minute".
Coach Gill: "Okay Mark, what is it?"
Coach D: "Ted, our failures of the past season...in recruiting, in losing most of the top talent in the state, in our offensive performance, in Coach Roushar's playcalling, in Tom Gholston's regression, in our not laying in the weeds...it's ALL YOUR FAULT!

MSU has no dental school
unless you count veterinary medicine, which, for a horse's ass like Dantonio, should be all he needs.

Edit: sorry, double post.
I'm more disturbed by what,
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
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.
Please have roushar coach
Please have roushar coach D-line as well....
It ain't easy being cheesy
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.

Hmmm. Worthy, White,
Hmmm. Worthy, White, Gholston, Rush. Didn't think D-line was the weak link of that team the last few years.

Exactly
If Roushar didn't have some sort of pictures etc. then I wonder what keeps him around...

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.
"Anyone who isn't confused, really doesn't understand the situation." - Edward R. Murrow
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 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
I wonder if this isn't one of those scenarios where the AD tells
the coach (dantonio), "look,last year was so shitty that we need to make a statement. Someone needs to go, and if next year is as bad.......you're fired."
PUNCH EM IN THE MOUTH!!
Why should we care?
