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'm not sure Kelly could beat Notre Dame's '17 / '18 roster by notredomer2005

with Clemson's current roster or Alabama's current roster. I know he wouldn't beat it with any other team's.

Even if he recruited better than anyone ever has at Notre Dame, I don't think he'd get over the hump. I'd rather be done with him and take my chances with someone else than live with a perpetual ceiling at #5 and floor at who knows where. But I guess if the prevailing wisdom continues that it takes a decade or two to build a program, we're all just pissing into the wind anyway.
