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.

The losing attitude had to be cleaned out and it took by Moff
time and, unfortunately, some turnover. It makes me appreciate even more the way Ara and company turned it around as fast as they did. It didn’t help Holtz that he had some murderous schedules the first two years and more QBs than D lineman to start with.
The acceptance of failure has now taken hold stronger than ever after nearly 30 years of second and third rate coaching and I sometimes feel like Gandalf walking into the see the king of Rohan who is under the spell. Like Gandalf, It’s all about the staff.
