Michigan State Spartans head coach Mark Dantonio is a damn good football coach. That much is obvious amongst the East Lansing faithful, and he is plenty respected nationally as well (when the media can say his name correctly).
But if you were to rank all of the current Big Ten coaches, where would you place Dantonio? The majority of the audience reading this is most likely MSU fans, so we’re all probably a little bit biased. But even impartial third parties would likely rank Dantonio highly on such a list.
In fact, Steven Lassan, college football editor at Athlon Sports, listed Dantonio second among all Big Ten college football coaches.
