Wow.

I can't currently see all the Tweets in this thread, so I'll gave to Google, but obviously something is rotten in Lansing for the timing of this.

I hate to dance on his grave but... does MSU have any good recruits that are supposed to sign tomorrow?

Luke Fickell? I mean I like the guy, but he's just kind of seemed fickle to me.

Grumpy D. Very few smiling face. Win or lose.

I hope it isn't related to that criminal doctor Nassar they had abusing women at MSU.

Suffered a heart attack. I think stent implanted. 2012 or so.

WAS, a good coach. Over the past several years his teams are nearly unwatchable. Talk about a sincerely boring brand of football, it’s Michigan State. They also have absolutely hideous uniforms. Good time for him to leave, they weren’t going anywhere except downward. I’ve never thought any of his teams were that good at all. They just caught schedule breaks.

Former recruiting coordinator is suing for wrongful termination alleging D'Antonio instructed him to do things (illegally) for which he the coordinator was eventually terminated.

Wow, what a bummer **cough, Analyst, cough**, I hope he can find a job, **cough, Analyst,cough **, somewhere helping out some team.

 

[wcbsas]

I like him.

It’s a sad day in the BIG. He was a good coach and his teams were fun to beat. Wish him well.

Disagree he was an arrogant backside.

Remember "clap-gate"? Go look up his response to that. He was Pelini with a bit more decorum.

There has to be more to the story when this is announced with a Tweet and not a press conference.

Yup - read of couple of the links ... he's alleged to terminated a former recruiting coordinator for violations that are attributed to himself.

From the article at detroitnews.com:

Name checks out...

Wow, with that name on the program, what did you expect?

"Skandal-aris"

To be serious, he would be a very good hire for MSU.......plus that would leave our toughest non-conference opponent next year trying to hire a new coach. Also hearing Pat Narduzzi's (Pitt HC) name being thrown around.

Was there a rule passed where if a HC leaves right after the signing period (assuming both Dec and Feb) that recruits can ask to be released from their LOI?
