It's going to be a rough couple of years before MSU is back to where he took them.
I went to 5 bowls, including the Rose and Cotton Bowl. They were incredible....I really hope that my favorite moment of the Dantonio era does not end up being today. Given the bonus, a day before NSD, and the lack of info in the announcement, the timing is questionable at best. https://t.co/zDDyzgbJa0

This is so weird. I never thought the day would actually come when Dantonio left. I haven’t been this shocked at news since KD joined the warriors.

I'm shaken, broken, and don't know what to think. Coach Dantonio is an exemplary human being. https://t.co/q1TllJf8pc

Sure, the last few years have been incredibly frustrating, but Dantonio brought the program back from the dead and gave us so many memorable wins. Tough day as a sparty.
