Since Mark Dantonio took over the Michigan State football program, the Spartans have experienced a plethora of success. Although the 2016 was the worst in the head coach’s Michigan State career, he had won 10-plus games in five of the previous six seasons, putting the program on the map.
No longer is Michigan State considered a ‘basketball school’ but rather an all-around elite sports program. If Dantonio can turn things around in 2017 and prove that 2016 was a wild outlier, the Spartans will be back in consideration as an elite college football program.
During his time in East Lansing, Dantonio has gotten to experience some of the greatest moments in Michigan State football history.
