I forgot to add that most of the coaches have their kids enrolled at CU and they all attend for 0. When you make 1.2 million, you'd think they wouldn't care about that, but after taxes that is like 800k. 100K is a lot when you put it in perspective. That's a big reason Brent Venables hasn't jumped to HC, he doesn't want to uproot his family from high school or college. There are many things the media does not bother to consider. You can find Dabo at church every Sunday in Clemson, but I'm supposed to believe he is going to give that up and take a pay cut to coach the Dallas cowboys? To many I understand that's not important, but I can just tell you by all these coaches attitudes, it is a great means of consideration. 

OUTSTANDING X2....

Good onya mate...

I mean.  He was the interim coach.  By default the interim basically always gets an interview, even as a nod for just finishing out the season.  I have zero reason to believe he ever had a real chance.  

I hear ya but on a technical basis that must not have satisfied the Rooney Rule because if it had there was no reason to invite the guy from Clemson...

...either that or the news of the invite was erroneous.

If Fewell didn't satisfy it, Bieniemy would have.  I am curious about the interview more than anything.  I don't think it had anything to do with the Rooney rule.  There are too many legit candidates that we were going to interview to need a token Rooney Interview.  And there are plenty of NFL coordinators to toss an interview to.  Saleh and Frazier for example.

Correct.  But Bieiniemy wasn't confirmed at the time.

Bottom line, I think we are on the same page. 

Cheers mate...

That said, I'm interested to hear who @Mr. Scot has as his first choice for the next head coach of the Carolina Football Panthers...

...Scotty, what say ya fella?

      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.
