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.

As he mentioned, Weis managed just fine by dulacshakur
...despite the recruiting restrictions. We're always going to have recruiting restrictions; we did in the 1980s and 1990s, and we do today. Nothing has changed except Brian Kelly's inability to attract top recruits despite winning at a higher rate than his objectively incompetent predecessors.
The primary issue is many kids don't want to play for a coach who's known for screaming himself purple at his players -- and cavalierly tossing them under the bus to the media -- and winning eight games a year while utilizing an inflexible and ineffective offensive system and operating a virtual carousel at defensive coordinator.
Weis had at least coached and made a name for himself in the NFL, something Kelly can only dream about.
