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.

Post being replied to

I heard an interview in early January by Irishlawyer

with Stu Holden and Stu intimated at that time that signs pointed to the fact that Jay was going to be passed over. I think he said that the perception of nepotism along with the lack of success from Gregg had put some spots on Jay's resume for the job and it looked increasingly like they were going to look outside the organization. I'm glad the first part was true and I hope the second part is also true.

In that same interview, he talked about the fact that despite what Earnie and Gregg say, they are VERY sensitive to the things said about them on social media and that they have a bunker mentality when it comes to any criticism. That's no surprise. To me, when a reporter asks Gregg about Duane Holmes, rather than thinking "hey, maybe Duane Holmes should be considered, Gregg almost acts like he's being cornered by "those damn kids on the internet" and responds like a big baby, holding his comments close to the chest.

I can now change my hashtag from #BerholtersOut to #BerholterOut so that's a plus.
