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.

The fact they announced his return for '18 bodes well by ndgotrobbedin97
I had forgotten this (as I mentioned earlier this week) but if they felt strongly enough to need to publicly announce his return last July, that means it was in doubt.
I'm not sure if recruiting was suffering, or there were other factors involved, but why announce a coach is returning in the normal course of things?
Of course, I still believe that the few wins over top 10'ish teams will somehow be used to justify his return for '19. I remain highly skeptical, but last July's announcement should offer some hope, especially after that punctuation mark to the season the other day.
