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 would agree that Jackson has earned the right to fix this by wearendhockey
but that means he needs to fix this. After 18 years and a whole lot nearer to the end of a career than the beginning, I'm not so sure he will.
I don't want to see another crop of 24 year old grad students being the only significant addition. I don't want to see someone like Logan Cooley commit and then bolt. I don't want the coaching staff to simply just try to roll out people they think will fit in Jackson's system. This game is changing and if Notre Dame is going to succeed at the level he built in his first half dozen years, major change is needed.
If next year we see the same staff, the same garbage special teams, the same vanilla offense, and the same mediocrity that we've seen for years now, it's time to try someone new.
