Sorry he didn't want to make a fool out of himself like Dantonio did.

Spoken like a true Sparty...don't you have a car to flip over?

You know both are possible right?

Yeah, Heck should have stopped earlier but Dantonio was still a douche about it. There's a polite way to handle things and according to several HS coaches, he didn't handle it that way. This really doesn't matter unless the HS coaches think Dantonio was impolite. Then it does matter.

He didn't say he was wrong he just said he wasn't aware of the rules forum, Dantonio also said he didn't know the rules of the forum, so Dantonio was wrong by calling him out like that in front of all of the Michigan High School coaches. You guys are already struggling with recruiting, this does not help at all. I read the article and it seems like Dantonio got pissed about hearing the success Michigan has had in recruiting and yelled at Coach Heck.

Why can't you just admit Dantonio made a full out of himself in front of everyone and Coach Heck took the high road

How are we struggling with recruiting? We have landed a vast majority of plan A guys we have gone for. I know you don't understand that if they don't have five stars next to their name on rivals that they can't be good, but I am sure guys like Rush, Worthy, Robinson, and Bell will have to remind you once again. You act like our coach walked up and slapped him. You say your coach took the high road and Coach D made himself look like a fool, but many say that your coach was being arrogant talking about how grand michigan is, while Coach D made him pause so other smaller schools could have a chance to talk about their programs.

What part of not our main rival don't you understand? Almost all Michigan fans consider State a rival just not anywhere near the rival that Ohio is.

I think his point is that it also directly involves the head coach at MSU.

Baseless speculation in this thread is annoying. I see direct quotes from both Dantonio and Heck. I would only reference those and not subjective interpretations of how the attendees perceived the interaction. Unless you have someone other than those two on record as saying how it went down, you look a little ridiculous saying how poor Dantonio came off looking.

Why don't you post that on tRCMB where everyone is saying Coach Heck was slurping Michigan. That sounds like speculation to me. Now run along.

This entire debate is pretty stupid. Sounds like Hecklinski made a mistake about the format and shouldn't have been talking as long as he was, but Dantonio interrupted in a snide way and should have handled it differently. Neither side is right and we should both get off our high horses.

With regard to Dantonio generally, he's certainly not the devil we all make him out to be. But he's definitely not the class act MSU fans think he is. He's an angry guy who takes things far too personally and has an absolutely pathological hatred of Michigan. But he's a good coach and likely conducts himself well the majority of the time (when he's not too worked up about UM). MSU fans will defend him to the death no matter what he does because he's made them relevant after years of suck. UM fans will attack him no matter what because he's got such a ridiculous excessive hatred for us. Ultimately, he's somewhere in between.

They were presenting in front of high school coaches? And these coaches lost respect for dantonio? Well, good luck in the future with prospects attending those schools, msu.

Dantonio sounds jelly.

You wouldn't expect nothing less from him?

Sounds like you have higher expectations than you intended to let on.

As for your scoreboard comment. I was glad that we could point at it against ND, Nebraska, tOSU and in the BSC Bowl win.
