The 2019 Michigan State football season has gone about as poorly as could be predicted at the beginning of the season. That has led to many fans and members of the media to speculate over the future of Mark Dantonio in the program where he has been the head man for 13 seasons.
Today at his weekly press conference Dantonio spoke to the speculation, shooting it down as directly as he could.
“Yes,” was the response from Dantonio when asked whether he planned on being the head coach when Michigan State opens the 2020 season against Northwestern.
The last four seasons have been up-and-down for Dantonio, to say the least. Since making the College Football Playoff in 2015, Michigan State has an even 24-24 record and haven’t come close to threatening for the Big Ten title.
Dantonio’s Spartans are currently stumbling through a five-game losing streak and need to win out against Rutgers and Maryland in order to be eligible for a bowl.
Dantonio also said today that he will evaluate potential staff changes in the offseason.
Michigan State takes on Rutgers this Saturday in Piscataway, NJ (noon, FS1).
