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.

Charlie Weis waited until the Patriots' season was over in early 2005 before he started as Notre Dame's head coach. But here are his recruiting rankings:
2005: 39
2006: 5
2007: 6
2008: 2
2009: 15
2010: (the class that signed after he was fired) 15
On the heels of a 3-9 season, he brought in the number 2 recruiting class in the country. Despite all of Weis' failings, he proved that a coach who cares enough about recruiting to put in the effort will be able to bring in good talent at Notre Dame.
