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.

Question about the final 2-3 years of the Holtz era... by Irisharab

In response to one of the threads below, many people posted that Kelly would probably be at ND for no more than a year or two. A few of those people also remarked that Kelly was probably getting closer to the point that he will burn out physically and mentally from the demands of the job.

Was there a sense between 1994-1996 that the Holtz era would likely be coming to an end, because of his longevity at ND and the likelihood of him burning out? During those final three seasons, did Lou have problems finding quality replacements for Assistant Coaches who left, because there was a feeling that Lou wouldn't be at ND for much longer?
