My money is on Cincy HC Luke Fickell to replace him.

Would be a good hire

[LouderVol]

Wow. This is worse timing than Kiffin. Hopefully he has an appointed heir.

I think national signing day is tomorrow.

Potential Butch Jones landing spot?

Potential Butch Jones landing spot?

I had the same thought. Wonder if UC wants him back?

 

[JOEY'S ALL VOL !!!]

Some talk that his health isn't where it needs to be, not certain but that might have something to do with it. Another mediocre season and his seat was probably getting pretty warm anyway. He had a pretty decent career at MSU.

I think Michigan State stays in house to find the replacement.

 

[LouderVol]

For what it's worth their highest rated guy would be our 14th highest recruit. No four stars in their class, so no one worth poaching imo.

. They have never recruited very well

Oh boy...

Blackwell lawyers detail allegations that MSU's Mark Dantonio committed multiple NCAA violations

Yeah, "health"...must be...

Dantonio's retirement announcement came one day after his former recruiting director, Curtis Blackwell, filed claims that Dantonio committed NCAA recruiting violations as part of an ongoing lawsuit.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Wow.

 

[Dudleys87]

Wow, your former recruiting director files against you and you step down a day later...

Not a good look.

If Luke Fickell leaves to take this job, would Cindy want Butch Jones?

 

[LouderVol]

Seems like there were a couple years in a row where they would have a five star DE or maybe OL sign with them. But overall not much talent to be had

 

[BeardedVol]

Wow.

Ballsy move, especially then retiring at the end of the business day before NSD.

I hope whoever Cindy is, that she is a classier broad than that.

Hmm ... definitely not a good look.

Could be health issues arising from the soon to be stress of lawyering up.

 

[Remy]

Enter Butch Jones and save the Spartans.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Dantonio might’ve been the last guy I would expect to be playing dirty . Very surprised

Nick Saban???

Michigan State's football program is going to be down for a good while to come.
