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 was somewhere around a 4 when they announced him. by OITLinebacker
It began to trend upwards from the moment I saw the intro to the team. I've met and had good conversations with every ND head coach since Ara (didn't meet Divine) and yes some where after they left ND. My point is having met Coach Freeman it really feels like he has the right mentality and temperament to be as good of a ND coach as Ara or Lou. He certainly talks more like them in terms of accountability and culture. I never got that feeling with other coaches who for various reasons didn't understand the what the legacy of Notre Dame can bring to the program.
Do I feel Freeman is a 9 or 10 now? I'm not sure, but I feel that is a more likely place in the long run than a 7 or lower.
