The official announcement, which caught many by surprise, came via a tweet from Dantonio himself.
On Tuesday night, at halftime of the Michigan State vs. Penn State basketball game, Dantonio gave a short farewell speech to the Spartan fans in attendance.
Coach D kept it short and sweet.

Short and sweet.
Unfortunately, the Spartans went on to lose to Penn State.
