When Michigan State hired Mark Dantonio as its new head football coach in November of 2006, no one could have predicted the historic run and success he would bring to East Lansing.
From the start, he embraced the university and showed he was someone who understood what it meant to be a Spartan, and he set out to transform the team into the great program he knew it could be. That determination has now led him to the Michigan State Athletics Hall of Fame, where he was inducted as a member of the Class of 2025 last weekend.
