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.

True, but I place much more of the blame on Swarbrick by garbageplate
Kelly is who he is: a football coach who spent most of his pre-ND career toiling at the lower levels of college football, which, along with some of his inherent shortcomings, has led him to fall short on the historical standard at ND both on and off the field.
On the other hand, Swarbrick is Kelly's boss and, more importantly, an alumnus who attended ND during the glory years. He should've known better and should have forced Kelly to adapt to ND instead of the other way around.
