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.

I'd rank Leahy No. 1. by tdiddy07

But I'd still put Rockne No. 2. I'd entertain Ara at 2. Rockne improved a solid regional program into a national power in an era where it was easier to do so without mass media creating enormous incumbency advantages. He also feasted on weak regional schools at the bottom of the schedule early on before the NCAA made competitive divisions. On the other hand, Ara resurrected a moribund program, likely played tougher schedules than Rockne, and played more games that made it harder to go undefeated. But the difference in winning percentage is too hard to overcome for me.

I think a greater injustice is ranking Kelly above Layden or Brennan. I'd also likely place Harper above him.
