11/19/19 - QB Rocky Lombardi, rSr/2024, Northern Illinois

Mark Dantonio made his clearest statement yet about his future, saying he intends to be Michigan State's coach next season. Dantonio had been vague recently when the topic had come up, but Tuesday he quickly said “yes” when asked if he planned to be the coach for next season's opener against Northwestern. "I can't predict the future, but my intentions are to be the head football coach here," Dantonio said. "I've always said I live in the present, though. I've always said that." He has talked a lot lately about living in the present, and comments like that left Dantonio's future uncertain, but he seemed committed Tuesday to staying with the Spartans beyond 2019. Michigan State is coming off a 44-10 loss to Michigan last weekend and needs wins over Rutgers and Maryland to secure bowl eligibility. The Spartans have lost five games in a row.

Athletic director Bill Beekman told the Lansing State Journal recently there had been no discussion of firing Dantonio, so the focus has been on the 63-year-old coach's own wishes, and whether he wanted to return. "My father always taught me to complete circles, complete the circle," Dantonio said Tuesday. "So that's what I'm trying to do." Dantonio said Michigan State aspires to win the Big Ten title, something that's happened three times during his tenure. The most recent championship was in 2015, though, and the Spartans are 15-19 in conference play since then. - AP College Football
