This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Let’s cut the crap. by Bruno95

The following other active college coaches could win ten games against this schedule, assuming they work at least as hard as Kelly in recruiting and fielded a comparable roster:

Day
Orgeron
Swinney
Whittingham
Smart
Saban
Riley
Rhule
Harbaugh
Ferentz
Malzahn
Fleck
Dantonio
Shaw
Chryst
Petersen
Patterson
Fisher
Leach
Franklin
Norvell
Klieman
Harsin
Cristobal
Niumatalolo
Dykes
Mendenhall
Campbell
Gundy
Mullen

Meyer and some NFL guys might be able to pull it off, as well.

No, not all are “available”. Dabo and Saban are not.

No, not all are fits at ND. Fisher and Fleck are not.

No, not all are better than Kelly. Kelly is a fine coach. Probably better than a handful of these guys. But among decent coaches — and that list is not short — he is just one of the guys. If he stays, so be it. Shitcan Long and maybe improve a bit.

If he leaves, farewell. In this relationship, only one party is fungible, and it ain’t fucking us.
