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.

Honestly I worry about Lea's recruiting. by bleedsgreen04

I think he's a good X's and O's guy, for the most part, I don't fault him for the Clemson game, I thought the defense actually held up pretty good until the offense kept giving them zero breaks whatsoever, and the Love injury gave Lawrence some huge opportunities.

Honestly ND's defense arguably held up a lot better than Alabama's, it was ND's offense that was the huge, huge problem IMO.

But Lea should be bringing in better guys on defense at this point, and you are right that the Michigan game was pretty worrisome.

I think Mike Elston is actually probably one of the best coaches on the staff. The jury is still out on Lance Taylor at this point, next year will say a lot about him I think. McNulty and Mickens were kind of embarrassingly low hanging fruit for how long it took to hire them, I really hope they actually pan out.

I think that Polian, Del Alexander and Quinn are the rather obvious dead weight on this staff. Maybe I'm being harsh on Del Alexander, I don't think anyone had Claypool or Boykins pegged as 1st-2nd round draft picks when they committed. Still, you'd think it wouldn't be this hard to bring in blue chip WR's to Kelly's pass-happy offenses.
