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.

This is where Kelly's undiplomatic approach hurts him. by PeteatND

I do believe him when he said that Kareem won the starting job. But I'm sure he would've liked Hayes to take 40%+ of the snaps and be an anchor against the run; I doubt he's excited by Ade Ogundeji having to now take 20 to 30 snaps a game.

Hayes will likely be a rotation player at Oklahoma, too - it's not like he transferred to a low-D1 school where he could be the unquestioned starter. He would've likely been willing to stay as a rotation player at ND, too, if Shanty weren't such a fucking dick about pretty much everything he does in life.

The conversation they most likely had about his future is one that could've been very different if Kelly had learned (somewhere along the line) to be humble, self-critical, constructive or conciliatory in his approach. At this point, the ship has sailed on that front - he's a dick for a life, it would seem.
