I learned this weekend that Rick Bayless is Skip Bayless's brother. Legit blew my mind

If you don't think parents should be chauffers, I hope you are supporting increased housing density in areas with walkable infrastructure and letting more families afford to live where they can walk. Get involved with rewriting your zoning code. put your money where your mouth is

but let's leave off the judging and moralizing?

If I lived in a huge suburban community and had to wait an hour in line to pick up my kid, I'd probably make a different decision. My pick up routine take me five minutes. As 100% agree as a society we've made poor planning decisions that led to a reduction in kids walking. That is bad!

But "there is no good reason" or "chauffer"... like, we are all making the best decision we can within the system and constraints we have. You have to sleep, you want time with your kid, you have to be at work at a certain time, you can only afford certain n'hoods, etc etc.

I have no idea if the OP person has kids. I guess no, but *shrug*. It's a fairly insulting take on how parents make decisions. Sometimes we walk to school. Sometimes we don't have time. Walk is 30 minutes there and back. Drive is 5 min, then on our way. Bus comes 30 minutes earlier.

Fisch is such a mercenary I don't really feel like he's a harbaugh guy though

Harbaugh arguably, although he had proven success elsewhere.

Are there *any* examples of coaches who were hired because of their ties to the old regime working out? Shula, hoke, etc etc

Gosling is on this list for sure. Barbie, Nice Guys, the Fall guy. You can probably include lars and the real girl and crazy stupid love as well.
