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.

But you had to expect it by tf86

If Byrne wanted to be a head coach, his window of opportunity was rapidly closing. I would love to seem him succeed Corrigan here, when the time comes. But there's only about a 3-year age difference between Corrigan and Byrne, so perhaps that isn't in the cards.

And while I'm no expert on the subject, I would say that at first glance, Notre Dame came out from this about as well as could reasonably be expected. We landed Wellner, a highly-regarded assistant who could be a HC sooner rather than later, to replace Byrne. And we also added Wojcik, who has HC experience and probably could be expected to replace Wellner should Wellner get a HC opportunity after next season.
