Mark Dantonio Picks His Top 25 Plays From His Time as Michigan State Football's Head Coach

[@BTN]

So many great moment's from Coach Dantonio's time as head coach - which play is your favorite?

[@MSU-DetroitFan]

Pride Comes Before The Fall

[@MathinColor]

I like the Keshawn Martin punt return for touchdown vs. Wisconsin that didn't make the top 25.

[@timhughes3973]

Little Giants fake field goal win vs Notre Dame

[@generalfresh4421]

When he came back and led the Spartans to upset Washington after losing their head coach to a scandal

[@CrazedSpartan928]

The Sack party

[@pdoylemi]

Notice how, other than bowl games and championship games, almost every favorite play was beating up on Michigan? I love that Mark went all in for the rivalry.

[@michiganhypelights]

He beat up on scrub michigan teams, if he played a good michigan team like the ones rn, he would get runned out of the building no doubt

[@pdoylemi]

@@michiganhypelights What a BRILLIANT response! When we lose year after year, that means nothing! Every year we lose, those were "scrub" MSU teams! BTW, those "scrubs" he beat were mostly 4 star recruits! And they got beat by mostly 2 and 3 star recruits! But "runned out of the building" tells me a lot about your lack of intellect.

[@flman1478]

still no shame😂😂😋😋 That's what I love about you couch burners.

[@Nwilliam43]

@@michiganhypelights You could say the exact same thing of MSU teams then lmao

[@thomasb.smithjr.8401]

I think I counted some 19 + plays involving the folks from Ann Arbor. If that isn't obsession - maybe even an on-going sense of inferiority - I don't know what is. So long as you define yourself by someone else, they control the parameters of your entire existence. How 'bout that, little brother ? 🏈

[@thomascasey2745]

It is with great sadness that I must tell you all that Adam Decker (55, MLB) has passed. Please help his memory live on forever by watching his finest moment as a Spartan at 2:40-2:55. God bless you, Adam, and may you finally be at peace.

[@durodbrown6804]

That Langford td in indy man I was there we went crazy osu fans couldn't believe it....man if we had a playoff that year I think we could of won it all

[@glenwest1911]

I loved his Michigan State teams!!

[@MathinColor]

Great plays. Great coach. Great times. GO GREEN!

[@seanmesaehable]

as a michigan fan I can hate and respect these guys. nightmare

[@durodbrown6804]

Coach d need a statue

[@timhughes3973]

Many great memories from a great MSU run. Tough times right now on the gridiron but I think Mr. March will be lifting our spirits soon!

[@northwestprof60]

Somebody find an AI voice to dub over that nasally and annoying beth mowins.

[@logan_page]

2:57 I still love how Sadler puts his shoulder down. He wanted every inch.

[@EST-XO]

I remember being in the fifth grade screaming DOWN HE GOES AGAIN 😭😭

[@Keanu1606]

Anything from the no fly zone and connor cook!

[@John-xc2qn]

Spartans stadium was so live!

[@KenWesaw-up5wf]

Not bad for a prison team

[@MichterPianopunster16]

Watching these again years later, imagine what would have been if the opposite of the reality happened. Like Gantt drops the little giants pass, the Hail Mary against Wisconsin isn’t a TD or isn’t caught and they play OT, if trouble with the snap doesn’t lead to a TD, or Mumphrey drops the TD pass against Baylor or Lippett drops the pass against Stanford. Probs still win the big ten in 2010, maybe still win over Wisconsin in 2011 and still could win the rose bowl and cotton bowl and make the CFP. Dantonio was the best coach msu ever had in my opinion. Sparty manhandled Michigan in Dantonio’s years going 8-5 in total, and the last two were the only time he ever lost two straight against Michigan as their head coach before stepping down, and Mel Tucker evened that out in 2020 and 2021 before things went south for him.

[@tomhearns143]

You sound like a nonathlete. They won. Move on.

[@desmondwilliams4068]

I know Michigan football is back because I can watch this, give Dantonio his props and not have a trauma induced response...

[@brycewilson1909]

Coach Dantonio is an absolute legend

[@TheMike31b]

Even till this day i have a strong heart for michigan state. Ill never stop that. There my dream team. GO GREEN!

[@bradyb2233]

One of the goats for sure. He is never talked about for whatever reason

[@chrissatterwhite711]

That msu Wisconsin game is still the best college football game I’ve ever seen

[@leespeed91]

Thank you Coach D!

[@laj382]

Unfortunately, Mark let the program fall into the abyss!

[@tomhearns143]

bullshit

[@anthonygauld313]

Yeah and I wonder how many games will they win this year

[@Brettwbeyer14]

5

[@kurtjohnson4816]

I lost all respect for him when after winning a game, he said that MSU was "favored by God".

[@YTSparty]

LOL. It sure felt like it. I'm sure he was joking.

[@tomhearns143]

Lighten up , Francis

[@johngg25]

MSU woulda had the Natty in 2014, had the offense not shat itself in South Bend that season.

[@tomhearns143]

Officiating gift wrapped that game by calling 4 huge pass interference calls against the best secondary in the nation. Disgusting.

[@natestakely1478]

Kinda glad Mark booked football as its got ridiculous and him & Tiller had enough. I don't put stock in it like I used to. They are not college kids. Let's just say a Bux fan that has stopped the worship. The B1G commmish kid playing sec while our kids set was a big push.

[@gavinray3048]

He’s bout to add some

[@flman1478]

yeah right...

[@flman1478]

drum roll please #1 for Mark had to be the Mel was a cumin, On the phone, and boy did he! That got Mark back his job.

[@ichiganade2071]

49-0 was my favorite. Saw dantonio at the game last year in East Lansing. Has to be the most memorable by far
