Congrats @dantoniomark I don’t know where to begin to thank you for the opportunity you gave me. You taught all of us Spartans more then how to be good players but how to be great man! Forever #gogreen https://t.co/0Ch8zh74TY

Thanks for everything Coach D. It has been an honor to play for you for 3 years, and to be fortunate enough to work under your leadership for 4 more. Great person, that always saw the best in people. Dropped a few tears (of joy) today! Enjoy retirement. https://t.co/YFH2mdcxwm

Words can’t express how proud I am to call you my dad. You’ve been a light to so many— a great coach with so many accomplishments, but more importantly, you’re an even better man. After 25 years of being your biggest fan, I can’t wait to spend football Saturday’s with you! https://t.co/K8OPLlfzVx

A tough day,@DantonioMark. We came in together-I always adored & appreciated U, Becky & UR incredible daughters, beyond words. Thru all negativity out there; U need to know that YOUR husband & YOUR Dad was & always will be admired by all WOMEN coaches here @ MSU! #24/7365IsHard https://t.co/sfIBvNqYZN
