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.

In order to be effective kelly believes he needs to be by cj

true to himself...in other words an out of control lunatic. That is a decision he makes and the PTB obviously supports. It is the choice he makes to be a "successful" HC. His puny and bullying behavior has yielded squat. What's scary is that he has to think/believes that those 5 loss seasons would be perhaps 6,7,8... loss seasons (less successful) without it...or he wouldn't do it...

This is one horrible coach and the fact that he and swarbrick continue to drag ND's reputation through the mud is an abomination.

I maintain the position that our ptb are exploiting ND for every nickel and luxury they can get their hands on as they knowingly and without care damage ND's reputation.

The ongoing begging as 100s of millions of dollars are spent aimlessly/squandered is a testament to a group of incompetent leaders who are making believe they know how to run a multibillion dollar entity.

ND's reputation will continue to suffer and the bar will continue to lower as excuse after excuse is laid out.

I have never seen a coach in any sport pull the crap kelly has....throwing kids under the bus as a smoke screen for his incompetence is his trade.

jenkins, the BOF, and the BOT are the three blind mice...

If they don't care, why should anyone else?
