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.

Could Weis have changed his overall trajectory as a head by Camarillo Brillo

coach if he had not stayed with the Patriots through the Super Bowl in Feb. 2005? Would it have made a difference in his coaching staff? Or what if David Cutcliff did not have to have heart surgery and was able to coach quarterbacks from the beginning? Or if he decided not to install a new offense in fall camp going into 2007 and stuck with Sharpley as QB, and let Clausen progress as a back-up, learning the offense, etc? For all his arrogance and Jersey attitude, Weis was a very smart guy who knew what he was doing. We saw how well it went in 2005 (for the most part) with the players he inherited from Willingham (who frankly couldn't do anything with them). He maybe could have been a great coach had a few things started differently.
