The Kind of Coach I Want...

Also, you don't evaluate head coaches based on the yelling at players/statements to media. The supposed best coach in the league, Bill Bellichick, mumbles and says almost nothing to media. They f'ing called him Mumbles when he succeeded Pete Carroll. The idea is the product on the field, not whether he's appropriately whacky after something goes wrong. I expect the things a fan expect after something happens and what's best for a team after something happens are two different things.

Agreed. I think this is one of the big selling points for Cowher. People love his demeanor, charisma and animated persona as opposed to Fox who says little to nothing (and does so in a boring manner).

I don't give an airborne rodent's rectum whether a coach is entertaining or interesting as long as he wins.

ESPN just has to cover their bases and say everyone who underachieves is on the hot seat, so in the event that they are fired, they can say "you heard it here first" or "as _ reported on ESPN"...

The man just won a Super Bowl. The Rooney's don't hire a guy to come in for 2 or 3 years and fire them... Nice try ESPN.

Starting to wonder if Tomlin isn't what we thought he was, and Cowher is what I thought he wasn't.

I was always under the impression that "The Steeler Way" is what made them successful all of these years, and not Cowher. Maybe my assessment was off base.

Also starting to wonder is LeBeau is getting figured out by some the O coordinators in the league.

favorite qoute from mike tomlin:

"We can't stay status quo in terms of how we're approaching this and expect the pattern of behavior or outcome to change," Tomlin said. "That's unrealistic. That's hoping. This is not a hope business."

      He's not wrong though. You talk like a politician on here. Leaving yourself just enough wiggle room to say you never fully counted Bryce out if you need to....But we can all see it. Just say you think he is a bust outright and you will have to type a lot less. Obfuscating your opinion behind QB3 competitions etc....

      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.
