Reactions to Mark Dantonio’s fiery postgame press conference

Mark Dantonio was absolutely furious after a demoralizing 38-0 loss to the Wisconsin Badgers. Who can blame him? Nothing worked against Wisconsin. All the while, player’s body language signaled apathy and heartbreak. During his press conference, Dantonio fired back at a reporter’s question:

Reporter: Was it a mistake not to bring in a new offensive staff?

Outsiders are using this moment to rip on Dantonio, but, MSU fans are split on this particular subject. Here are some twitter reactions to this tumultuous moment:

Guys, Hondo's question wasn't a good question. This is no defense of Coach D either.

Hondo is asking if he should have fired his current subordinates in the immediate aftermath of a game. You don't say yes there.

It was a dumbass question

I’m seeing a lot of people talking about Michigan State firing Mark Dantonio. It shouldn’t and won’t happen. Dantonio has earned the right to walk away when he wants. But, at the rate this thing is going, walking away doesn’t sound like a bad idea if I was him.

Big Ten Network studio analyst and former Ccollege football coach Glen Mason gave his own take:

Former Spartans even chimed in on the team’s poor performance via Instagram. Both Jerel Worthy and Javon Ringer shared their thoughts in the Instagram comments section:

Another one. Glad to see former players who aren’t afraid to speak their minds. pic.twitter.com/saczKgFvaO

I see both sides of this argument. What reaction do you expect after an emotional loss? On the other hand, Dantonio has to answer if MSU’s offense keeps this up all season long.

Either way, SpartansWire will have plenty of MSU football coverage. Next weekend is a bye week for the Spartans. Then they welcome Penn State to Spartan Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 26.
