How many seasons until Scott Turner becomes a head coaching candidate?

Everyone has been clamoring about Norv Turner and how much better he has made the Panthers offense in 2018. And rightfully so, Norv has improved the Panthers offense in just about every way compared to Shula's tenure in Carolina.

But how much of an impact has his son Scott Turner made as QB coach? Norv has mentioned that he has gleaned some ideas from his son as far as modern aspects to offensive playcalling. Scott Turner famously came up with the "Annexation of Puerto Rico" play from the 2011 game against the Texans. And the coaching carousel set to spin again this offseason. Will Scott Turner be getting some looks as a head coach as soon as this offseason? How many seasons could we expect him to stay in Carolina? Is he being groomed to take over as offensive coordinator for the Panthers, when his 66 year old father inevitably retires? 

I might be jumping the gun here, but I have to think that in an offensively charged NFL, a lot of teams hungry for young and creative head coaches akin to Sean McVay might see the progress Cam Newton has made and roll the dice on Scott Turner developing their young QB.

      Experience with Electric Vehicles?

      By d-dave · Posted

      Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
