Mark Dantonio Released From Hospital

Filed under: Michigan State, CoachingMark Dantonio was released from the hospital Tuesday according to Michigan State AD Mark Hollis, three days after a heart attack following the Spartans' football game against Notre Dame.

Offensive coordinator Don Treadwell said earlier Tuesday that Dantonio was "doing better and better." Treadwell will coach the team until Dantonio returns.

Saturday night, Dantonio's Spartans pulled off a gutsy fake field goal to beat Notre Dame in dramatic fashion in East Lansing.

Dantonio, 54, checked into Sparrow Hospital's emergency room "early Sunday morning," the school said. He underwent a cardiac catheterization procedure, where doctors use a small, metallic stent to open a blocked blood vessel leading to the heart.
