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.

That's not all that instructive. by tdiddy07
Edit: I originally forgot that at the time the Big East was considered a power conference. But that's a weak data point. Any Big East coach that won 11 games was going to bolt. Rich Rod left after 10 wins with 11 wins in the preceding two years.
If you expand to non-Power 5's, you certainly expand the list. It's not particularly remarkable. Sumlin did. Urban did. Herman left after 9-3 but the season before went 13-1. Petersen left after 8-4 but wont 11 in 7 of the prior 8.
So I don't really find the stat remarkable. But yes, it's uncommon. This move isn't appreciably different than Riley or Jimbo.
The bigger deal is that Kelly left UC before its biggest game of its program history. And Kelly now left with a playoff berth still up in the air.
