Dantonio radis Cincy for three offensive and one defensive coach

EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Four of Mark Dantonio's assistants at Cincinnati are following him to Michigan State, the Spartans' football coach said Thursday.

Don Treadwell will be offensive coordinator, Ted Gill defensive line coach, Dan Roushar offensive line coach and Mark Staten tight ends/tackles coach and recruiting coordinator.

"Staff continuity is important anytime you change managers," said Dantonio, who took the Michigan State job Sunday. "Obviously, I have a lot of loyalty to my coaches from Cincinnati, but that's not the only reason why those guys are here. These coaches also produced positive results at Cincinnati, both on and off the field."
