Dantonio has fond memories of his time at Ohio State

East Lansing — Mark Dantonio has spent more time coaching at Michigan State than any other school.

In his 10th season, Dantonio also spent six years as an assistant at Michigan State — five under Nick Saban as the secondary coach and in his final season with Bobby Williams as secondary coach and assistant head coach.

But if there’s one other school out there Dantonio connects to, it might be Ohio State, this week’s opponent. He was a graduate assistant for Earle Bruce in 1983-84 and returned under Jim Tressel as defensive coordinator from 2001-03, winning a national championship in 2002.
