Is the only reason Dantonio WAS successful was because Rich Rod was at Michigan?

[MoTown]

Let's be honest with ourselves - Mark Dantonio greatly benefitted due to the fact Michigan had a mental midget coaching them for three years. He was able to get some recruits that Michigan would normally nab and play with little competition for three years. So I want to propose a question to you:

If Michigan would have hired a solid coach instead of Rich Rod, would Mark Dantonio still have a job?

I say no. The only reason this guy has had any success is because Michigan shit the bed for three years.

FYI - the only reason this thread exists is to entice Sparties to come out of hiding.

I think you pretty much hit the nail on the head there Motown. He probably would have gotten an extra year out of sympathy after he had that heart attack (seriously, what kind of coach has a heart attack??? LOL!) but he'd certainly be on his last legs by now.

How long before he's coaching South Dakota State?

[MoTown]

At the rate things are going, he would be lucky to land a job like South Dakota State. He's not even going to be Jackrabbit material in a couple of years. At least the Jackrabbits have some offense currently.

I think he's probably headed for a DII career at this point.

Maybe he's just been depressed ever since his mentor was exposed as a twat and had to leave.

This is next level type thinking.

The subject line itself just blows ur mind.

Read that as DUI career, which isn't too far-fetched. This guy is pretty classless.

This guy's such a phony.

Mark Danphonio.

He might be more successful if he heads to the PAC 12. He can beat up on Rich Rod. Arizona state would be a perfect fit for him.

Danphonio.

Ha!
