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.

Funny you bring that up. by irishdemon
I got text last night from someone questioning Freeman's potential inexperience when it comes to in-game management.
That's exactly what I told him - Brian Kelly was no sideline scholar - let's not forget that. I cited your examples and then some.
Also, lest we forget, Brian Kelly racked up 43 regular season victories since 2018 because his AD packed his schedule with weak ACC teams & tomato cans, Stanford fell into the abyss, Clay Helton was a chump and Trevor Lawrence got Covid.
Remember at the beginning of Rocky III when Rocky learns after beating Apollo Creed that Mickey was taking care of him - getting him only a series of fights he knew Rocky could win? Swarbrick is Mickey. Brian Kelly is Rocky. The SEC is about to be Clubber Lang.
