Michigan State's Mark Dantonio gives testy response to question about his offense after shutout loss
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Michigan State football coach Mark Dantonio got into a brief spat with a reporter who asked about his offense following the team’s 38-point shutout loss to Wisconsin on Saturday.
A reporter questioned Dantonio about whether it was a mistake to not bring in new offensive coaches given the Spartans’ struggles against ranked opponents this season. Dantonio did not appear to appreciate the question and gave a testy answer.

The loss to Wisconsin sparked rumors about Dantonio getting fired at the end of the season.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Dantonio is in the middle of his 13th season with Michigan State and the team is 4-3 following Saturday’s loss. The team started the season ranked No. 18 in the Associated Press Top 25 polls but hasn’t eclipsed that ranking thus far and ran into a few tough losses against Arizona State and Ohio State.
The Spartans still have two ranked opponents left on the schedule – Penn State and Michigan – to go along with potential cakewalk games against Illinois, Rutgers and Maryland.
