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.

The process was a joke based on ND's professed by Raoul
Standards for hiring. Now maybe there was a national search and this guy won the process. But it looks a lot like a deal crafted by Savvy on a golf course - maybe at Seminole where Pete B and Jimmy D belong - and one wonders what other guarantees and deals were made.
I think it is fair to criticize his qualifications based on the fact that he's never done the job. I'd love for Jenkins go explain to me - and I am sure he has a good explanation ready - why someone who never worked in college athletics administration should be AD.
I do think this enhances the need to have an AD of just football. Someone solely focused on its success on the field to whom the Coach and support staff report.
