It sounds like a familiar face may be swooping in to be an adult in the room and help save the day for the Spartans: <a href=\"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/michigan-state-football-wait-they-scored-end-dantonio-era\/\">Mark Dantonio<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I can confirm that I have heard this as well.

He retired for a reason so why would he want to come back and put unnecessary stress on himself? Well, it sounds like he wants to help out.<\/p>\n<p>I was shocked to see the original tweet from MSU Chief of Propaganda because that&#8217;s the best-case scenario regarding the remaining staff and he would immediately bring some stability to an ugly situation.<\/p>\n<p>Dantonio is familiar with some of the players still on the current roster as he recruited some of the upperclassmen, including starting quarterback Noah Kim, and he&#8217;s well-respected by pretty much everyone.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of fans, including myself, have had a tough time forgiving Dantonio for how he left the program before the 2020 season, but if he can join this staff and bring some stability to a very unstable situation, forgiveness would be easy. The legendary head coach would find himself back in the good graces of just about everyone around the program.<\/p>\n<p>Michigan State is getting set to hold a press conference at 5 p.m. ET likely to name an interim head coach and potentially announce that Mark Dantonio is coming back to help out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This would be great.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":6706,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[173],"tags":[323,191,189],"class_list":["post-6704","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-football","tag-mark-dantonio","tag-michigan-state-football","tag-michigan-state-spartans"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6704","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6704"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6704\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/6706"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6704"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6704"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6704"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
