As noted by the ES earlier this year, and as it came true, coach Dantonio thankfully gave the Spartan Nation relief and retired from coaching MSU football. Thanks for the memories, but the last four years were particularly painful. While expected eventually (sooner than later), the timing was odd with national recruiting signing day today (Feb 5). While coach D never had a "stellar" recruiting class, in his best years at MSU it seemed he always coached players up.... yet,
...the last several years saw no improvement from beginning to end of the year, injuries mounting consistently, and his recruiting has him into significant legal trouble with his role in recruiting "bad" folk (one of whom is still in prison).
