Mark Dantonio Likely to Take Over Sparty Spot

Several sources are reporting that Cincinnati Bearcat coach Mark Dantonio is in the process of being hired as the next coach of the Michigan State Spartans.

Dantonio has posted an 18-17 record in Cincinnati including a 7-5 record this year. Four of the five Bearcats' losses in 2006 have been to teams ranked in the current top 15.

Dantonio was the defensive coordinator of the National Champion Ohio State squad and was at one time an assistant to both Nick Saban and Bobby Williams in East Lansing.

Dantonio did great things with a small school at Cincy. He and his staff of mainly other ex-Tressel assistants always gave the Buckeyes a challange. Michigan State may finally break out of the underachiver ranks and become yearly Big Ten contenders with Dantonio at the helm.
