With the, well, downright shocking news of Mark Dantonio stepping down as the Michigan State Spartans head coach, the team will turn to defensive coordinator/linebackers coach Mike Tressel to take over head coaching duties on an interim basis.
DC Mike Tressel will serve as Michigan State's interim coach, per MSU press release.

This is a logical move as Tressel was also the assistant head coach on staff. Now, athletic director Bill Beekman, along with President Stanley and possibly Dantonio himself, will need to find Michigan State’s next full-time head coach.
