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.

You're just being obtuse. by NDMike2001

Nobody "made the shift" to all time great Liverpool coach. There's not an argument there. You aren't a Liverpool fan and you don't care about it. Perhaps you can create your own thread about all time great premier league managers. Apparently that is the argument you want to have. But its inarguable that the man who ended Liverpool's 30 year title drought (who btw also won a UCL trophy, UCL final, Europa Final and the highest point total ever in a 2nd place finish in any domestic season) is considered a Liverpool great.

But the original comment is not limited to Liverpool. And I'd happen to agree that what he did at BVB is also remarkable - if not more so. And their fans hold him in similar regard. Which is exactly what makes him an all time great. He took two above average league teams and turned them into elite title contenders. That is without question something Pep has never done.

P.S. Lou Holtz won one national championship at Notre Dame. By your standards he's definitely not an all-time great coach and should be considered great by ND fans.
