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.

Unless the team tanks completely next year, I think it will by NH74Domer

be up to him. He’s 10th all time in wins and 5th among active coaches in win percentage. While I know that coaching is a “what-have-you-done-for-me-lately” business, ND has traditionally shown a lot of patience (or is it indifference?) with long tenured coaches in sports other than football.

JJ’s overall track record - this was only his 4th losing season - may give him even more latitude than most. It would take a perfect storm of events - an exodus of players to the portal combined with massive recruiting/transfer portal misses resulting in a Poulin-like last season - for it to be obvious to all that he should move on. While I don’t think this will happen, I do think we are in for more mediocrity. This may be enough for him to walk away on his own after the next season rather than try to turn things around at the age of 70.
