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.

Kelly is a replacement level coach. by Bruno95

Any good coach would be at least 11-1 against this schedule. They’ve looked good in recent games, but playing shit competition will do that for you. Fickell beat him at ND with Cincinnati’s program.

He wasn’t fully embraced here because he didn’t fully embrace ND. Like the family dog, we know when someone isn’t quite right. But if the LSU money rumors are true, it’s a significant deal to turn down. If he doesn’t love ND, he was right to leave.

In recent years, he raised the floor, with considerable help from the AD he just abandoned. That’s fine, but we care about the ceiling here. And his was “get tire ironed by good teams in the post season.” In Baton Rouge, he won’t have to wait until the post season.

Perhaps ND can finally stop lying about the vacated wins now that they see what their fealty to Kelly bought them.
