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.

It would be nice if they'd include some of my related comments. Specifically, the part where I said this:
"I don't think any are obvious upgrades. I said dozens of coaches could produce results similar to the ones BK has produced over the last 12 years. I stand by that assertion.
Brian Kelly ain't getting it done, man. Every year we stick with him is a wasted year. It's time to try something new, even if it entails some risk."
I continue to stand by that assertion. In other words, I think every coach on that list, given the combination of resources and schedules BK has been given, would produce similar results.
There's nothing special about Brian Kelly.
