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.

Coyne's poorer years were near the end of her tenure by Domer99
If Melanzana's argument stopped at the Brown-Coyne comparison, I too might see some validity.
But in other posts he's disparaged Halfpenny as a horrible hire, and then again with Romagnolo. Neither has been a bad hire.
For whatever reason he's been on a crusade to clear Coyne's name and indict everyone else in the athletic department. On its face, I agree with him that Brown deserved to be fired over Coyne, but if you've followed Melanzanz at all, you'd know that isn't the gist of his rub.
