Is Mike Dantoni long for msu ?

The mork run in East Landfill is on fumes.

Eventually all facades are seen through. The truth is he wants to play the victim, after being a bully.

This latest attempt at creating a disrespect situation has blown up in his face.

Not to mention all the off-field attrocities committed under his umbrella of enablement.

Dumbtino was down two years ago, up last year and average this year. Harbaugh has his number (despite the record) but that won't chase him away. I'm already excited for next game.

Everyone reflexively replies to grumbling about Harbaugh with the rhetorical “Who could we possibly get who is better?”

I’ll respond to this with “who could MSU possibly get who is better than Dantonio?”

He'll be there as long as he wants, for three reasons:

  1. Apparently, nobody at MSU cares about off-field atrocities, because Dantonio has been pushing ethical boundaries his whole career, and as we've found out recently, the university itself seems comfortable looking the other way even when it comes to really horrible stuff.
  2. He's literally the most successful coach they've had in the last 50 years, and it isn't close. Even though the last three years have been a significant dip for MSU, they're sill over .500, which is roughly in line with their historical strength since Duffy Daugherty left. In other words, Mork's worst is still OK for MSU.
  3. MSU is obviously a second fiddle to Michigan when it comes to national relevance, and even at their peak under Dantonio, they were mediocre at recruiting. This is a problem because if they were to get rid of Dantonio, chances are that even if the replacement were as successful as Dantonio has been, he'd leave for a power school (like Saban did). Good coaches who are comfortable spending their career at a place where they'll never be able to recruit well enough to be a national contender are few and far between, and MSU has one right now.
