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.

Do you believe the 10 years experience is an absolute? by NDoggie78

In the real world, these job postings have these criteria as filters. But I have seen hires where all the criteria weren't met. There is something to be said for applicants who go after a job where they may not have the experience, but can show why they are best for the job - assuming they get in the door in the first place.

Now with Michaela already being a relative newby, I can see going after the experience (assuming Michaela remains).
Many think Brey hiring ex-players with little experience has been a problem.

Also, someone with 10+ years experience may be looking for a head coaching job or have decided to be comfortable where they are.

I think the hiring decision may be based on who is leaving as well.
Rambling thoughts - one thing I am sure of, Niele isn't asking me.
