No opinions on Mark Dantonio?

I made a post about him last week and didn't get much feedback.
He's not the megacoach/superstar that we got that the top of all our lists, but I think he's a good coach and by all accounts, he is. He spent 2 tours with Tressel at Youngstown and at Ohio State(defensive coordinator), was a secondary coach at Michigan State with Saban...going by results, did a decent job at Cincinatti. He's a defensive guy, so he may have a more conservative philosophical approach offensively...
Here's his MSU profile:

ESPN.com clip on him being hired at MSU:

I like him a lot and I'm surprised no one has mentioned him.

I'd LOVE the hire but would he abandon his team after just 1 year?

Would he come here that quick. I mean he was just hired last year

rocket, i like the guy but does he have the experience and is he thick skinned enough to handle the lsu fan base. call me crazy but some of our former coaches did not deal with the fanbase in a positive manner

Don't know. Don't know if he has any desire to coach at a place like LSU.

Adam, I don't know. He seems like a serious guy. I just don't know. I mean, he would definitely have to adjust just like most coaches would/have.

i like him because he's a get in your arse type of guy. michigan st has been a stepping stone for lsu in the past

YEah I was following his Coaching search last year on the Spartan Boards. Pelini was mentioned for that job too

He is a good up and comer. Still, I'd like to see how he does at MSU for a few more years. They kind of tailed off at the end this year.

He's not bad but we can do better.
