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.

I think for competent guys like Mainieri and Murphy it is. by cbo86

They both parlayed their ND gigs into LSU and ASU jobs, respectively. Not a bad selling point at all. ND baseball coach might not be a final destination for a great coach but frankly I have no problem with ND baseball coach being somewhat of a stepping stone job. As usual the ND name makes the job attractive and opens up more and bigger opportunities than other non-traditional baseball schools. I'm not sure if our facilities could use an upgrade but if so, sell a promising coach on the fact that we're willing to spend a little money. The administration needs to sell the program a bit but I can't believe any spend would break the international bank of ND. Finally, Mary deserves a solid baseball program. I gotta believe she'd be a baseball mom if Jesus played travel ball. I'm also certain that our savior Jesus Christ could hit a curve ball with the best of them.
