Michigan State head coach Mike Dantonio suffered a heart attack after MSU's shocking win over the Notre Dame fighting Irish. In the last seconds of the game, the Spartans "faked out" their opponents, and instead of kicking a field goal, they rallied for a last-minute touch down winning 34-31.Damage to his heart is minimal, and he's expected to make a full recovery. He had to have a stent put in to restore blood flow, and will be in the hospital for a few more days.
The coach won't be back for the Spartans next game, and so far there's no indication of a timeline of his return.
As football is a high-stress environment, Dantonio isn't the only high-profile NCAA football coach to suffer from health problems. Florida head coach Urban Meyer was hospitalized last year after complaining of chest pains. Northern Illinois coach was hospitalized recently for dehydration, and a Notre Dame coordinator suffered from a viral illness.
Hopefully, Coach D will be back soon. All Spartans fans are behind him, and his family, at this time.
