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.

Expand on something, if you don't mind: by jt
You say that you "like the idea of a defensive minded head coach" and I am just wondering why. That seems to be the exact opposite of most NFL and NCAA football teams these days. Sure, there are very successful coaches at those levels with a defensive background, but teams seem to live and die with their offensive play callers. Mike Nolan and Mike Singletary are modern guys who jump to mind for me--both have defensive backgrounds and both faltered when their offensive coordinators left/were not retained (Norv Turner and Mike Martz).
