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.

After an exhaustive nationwide search by the Notre Dame Vice by OldIrishFan

President James E. Rohr Director Of Athletics, we concluded that the best person to replace the best recruiter on staff already was at Notre Dame. Are you now suggesting that he got it wrong? Brian Kelly and Jack Swarbrick have been laboring unceasingly for 11 years to keep Notre Dame in the conversation. Coach Kelly has been a head coach for 30 years. I know because he said so. Coach Kelly even said recently that he wants to win a National Championship. Is that enough for you? Are you never satisfied? It is a process! An eleven year process!! If it takes another 11 years to get it right. Who are you to question it? Trust him. If he thinks he can win without defensive backs so be it. Brian Kelly will find a way. I know that he will and Jack Swarbrick and Father Jenkins will be there to back him up irregardless. Trust Jack. He has been around great coaches all his life and career.
