I'm not going to debate the whole edumication thing. However, I work with people who have doctorates everyday, and let me tell you, they are not as smart as you think. Sure, they have this degree, but simple task, computer skills, communication skills, and properly following SOP's are severely lacking. You also have some that do nothing but complain, think the are high and mighty, and see lesser educated (Me) as a person who is dumb. I am working on my Batchelor's degree, I have 5 more classes to go, does that make me dumb? Maybe? However, I can walk circles around most of my co-workers especially the ones that have master degrees. 

I don’t think highly recommended or better of myself regardless of my education. I hope none of you are taking my comment out of context because my initial jab was meant as a joke. I respect people from all backgrounds and social status.

Fair enough. Apparently you do "get it." Agreed on the doc title usage too (unless you're around Germans). So here's a bit of reinforcement, and yeah it sucks, but it is what it is. Except in certain circles, if you see patients, but aren't a physician, the majority of people are going to go with the old saying, If you're not an MD, then you're not an RD." (real doctor). Like you, I just decided to go informal and fly under the radar. Besides, the people who matter will usually know who, and what, you are.

PS - Don't ever wear scrubs or a lab coat when visiting friends or family, especially in a SNF or  LTAC. You'll get stopped every ten steps by staff, patients, and vistors asking questions or wanting you to do something. ;)

I love my scrubs for sure but I went the Outpatient route so it’s the standard khakis and polo for me. Such is life.

You guys realize Gano wouldn't have to have made the FG if he just made the extra point?

I mean yea great you fuged up and got a chance to redeem yourself, but you won't always get that chance. Took many missed kicks form me to hate Gano and will take many clutch kicks, not just one, for me to see him a reliable.

Also, would be nice if we attempted kicks beyond the 40, even when our backs aren't up against the wall.

Let's be real.. Even if he made the extra point, the Pats would have went for two and converted. Those two drives were easy for them

Then he must just enjoy trolling. Otherwise, that's just scary.

The point is to further yourself and your education. If you’re furthering your education, the goal is not to obtain as many degrees as possible. Probably won’t get you too far in this day and age which is probably why you’re so salty about it. I love my career which wouldn’t have been possible without 7 years of busting my ass after high school.

Well, no...im salty about it because im an intellectual and have tended to choose learning and knowledge over money in my life and I don't think it was a very good investment for that choice, not because of the career aspect. I really didn't go to college for the career aspect which was naive on my part I suppose. 

I don't believe college furthered me or my education. Like i said, I think it inhibited my learning and made me regress as a person. We're all individuals, though, so it may be more up your alley than it was mine.

Fair enough. To each his own.

      How long do you feel it takes for a head coach to turn a team around?

      Canales has his msjor issue not doing the obvious regarding running Dowdle but with an average QB we would be in the playoffs with an average QB.

      1. fug TikTak, I ain't clicking that stupid poo. 2. This is really very situationally dependent. Coaching is a huge part but sometimes you step into a scenario where a lot of building needs to happen that is largely out of your control  Recent examples(Last season's hiring cycle): 1. Ben Johnson Johnson chose the OVERWHELMINGLY best open coaching job due to a combination of solid ownership, a solid front office and the most talented roster of the open jobs from that cycle. Negatives were, insanely stacked division. Results have so far indicated that this coaching change has been a massive boost. 2. Mike Vrabel Vrabel went a different direction. He went to a franchise that has solid ownership, a mediocre front office and one of the worst roster in the NFL. However, he has a track record of NFL head coaching success AND lucked into one of the easiest schedules in NFL history(I believe 3rd easiest). Even with that caveat, a clear indicator that coaching has been a huge boost. 3. Pete Carroll Carroll chose one of the NFL's most voliate franchises. Notoriously bad ownership, very bad front office and a terrible roster. But, Carroll is a HOF caliber NFL HC with success at every stop. At the moment, coaching has not been able to overcome the apparent obstacles. In fact, it's been a complete diaster to the extent that Carroll has already fired multiple coaches. One could certainly argue that pethaps Pete has lost his touch but regardless, this coaching change didn't result in a turnaround and Carroll's future there seems in doubt. 4. Aaron Glenn Glenn's first HC opportunity was a doozy. Near worst ownership, a mediocre front office(at best) and a talented core group of players on an underwhelming roster. This experiment has been quite the ride to date. Glenn's personnel decisions have seemingly led to multiple close game losses(2-5 in games decided by one score or less) and the FO decided to have a roster firesale prior to the trade deadline for a wealth of draft capital. The question will be if Glenn will be given the time to actually see this future draft capital realized, now that a significant chunk of the talented core is not longer there. Coaching has not made a difference but is the franchise now setting him up to fail further? 5. Liam Coen Coen picked a mixed bag. Terrible ownership, a remade front office he essentially had a hand in selecting(or at the miminum influenced) and a middling roster. The early results show promise even if the roster shows significant flaws(and Coen shows visible frustration with his "franchise" QB every Sunday). Could be close to turning a 4 win team into a playoff berth. Coaching has mattered. 6. Brian Schottenheimer This was resoundingly viewed as a bad hire but it's also under challenging circumstances. Bad ownership in the sense that the ownership is also the front office, a future Tepper dream I assume. Very talented but very flawed roster. The initial results have been...interesting. A Cowboys team that was a bad 7-10 after a previous streak of three 12 win seasons is now....mediocre? Couple that with wild roster changes prior to the start of the season and up to the trade deadline and it makes for an incomplete picture. It's not much progress but it doesn’t appear to be regressing either. TBD. 6. Kellen Moore Moore chose the most challenging of all openings. The Saints are in the midst of a simulateous roster teardown and attempted rebuild. Decent ownership, a mixed bag in the front office(great at evaluating draft talent, less so in free agency and in salary cap management). The Saints have been awful but, they were expected to be awful. To that note, they were net sellers before the trade deadline. It was reported that Moore secured an agreement that this is long term building effort prior to taking the position so his status seems safe even while the team flounders week to week. Difficult to grade this now as the entire scenario seems to be a long term strategy. TBD.

      I think he has started to build a culture here.  I think if we had a qb with no limitations we would be seeing a lot more with the offense.  I think most of the coaches that come in and instantly win went to teams that were underachieving previously based on roster talent level.  Based on our roster talent,  we werent underachieving,  we were just bad.
