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.

Kevin Corrigan should be fired. by Porpoiseboy

This is the thread and a decent time to discuss such a topic.

I disagree 100% with the subject of this post. I am still quite pleased Kevin's HC.

He put us in position, yet again, to battle for a national championship. Making the final 8 is no mean feat.

If you believe Kev should get the ole heave ho, give your reasons. I never played for Kevin. I don't know the first thing about him as a person. If you have such experience, it would be great to hear what you have to say.

If anyone thinks UVA, Duke, or ND had similar situations and outcomes in the tournament, share them. I honestly crack up thinking about some posters crucifying Kevin for how we lost to Duke, claiming Danowski is clearly Kevin's superior, then watching Danowski lose nearly exactly the same way in his next game. Sure, I want us to beat Duke in everything every time we play them. Sure, Duke has owned us in lacrosse for a decade. But I don't believe for a second it's because there is a clear difference in quality between the HCs. I do agree that if we're pretty much similar in quality over that span, some of those matchups should have fallen ND's way. Sadly, though, our only wins against them in that span have come in the regular season.

Kevin's taken us to the final game twice. I am not sure what it is a fan would look for in a coach more than what Kevin has done for ND's program. The dire disappointment we feel for not having a national championship is there. Charles Barkley probably feels that pain, too.

I guess I could come up with tons of stats why Kevin's a good HC, worthy of ND, building a program based on excellence. I'll save my breath until anyone makes even close to a valid argument Kevin should be sacked.
