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 think this is right. by mocopdx
He's clearly not a success as far as what the standard is for Notre Dame football. You *must* win a title to join those ranks.
However, he is quite clearly a step up from Weis/Willingham/Davie, solely because he has made the job attractive again. I do not believe the same quality of coaches who will be interested in taking over for BK would have been interested in 2001, 2005, or 2009.
Put it this way- the Utah version of Urban Meyer would likely take the 2023 Notre Dame job that he turned down in 2005.
Elite coaches should understand, now, that it is absolutely possible to win a title at ND if you work your ass off in recruiting and know what the hell you're doing on offense. Would that BK make it easier on us and just do those things himself...
