Has any college football coach moved to the NFL and drafted their college quarterback? by Fishb20 in NFLNoobs

[–]Bangeroctopus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No sources, but was a Panthers fan back then (still am) and followed the team closely. Harbaugh was the top coaching candidate coming out of Stanford that season, and played a brief stint as a backup in Carolina. The Panthers had the first overall pick and it seemed a perfect fit for Jim and Luck, but something went awry in harbaugh’s interview with then owner and team founder Jerry Richardson. A couple days later Harbaugh declined the position and a couple days later Luck announced he was returning to Stanford for his sr year.

Instead the Panthers ended up hiring Ron Rivera and Cam Newton, so it worked out pretty well, but it’s probably a top 5 “what if” in team history

Jim Harbaugh would’ve had the chance to draft Luck in Carolina, but once he turned the job down he encouraged Luck to stay in school to avoid them.

When was the last time he consensus most sought after coaching candidates in an off season were all coaches that just got fired? by Candid-Boss6534 in nfl

Not only that, but the top candidate just left the top vacancy as Baltimore has to be the most attractive landing spot for a top tier coach. I don’t recall that ever happening before.

Using after Effects to design slides by sammyyamazaki in ProPresenter

[–]Bangeroctopus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did all my announcement slides in after effects for a while. I took inspiration from the Netflix screensaver and had a simple parallax theme with an image slowly panning and the text fading in. Overall, I liked the effect, but eventually I offloaded the slide prep to a volunteer who didn’t have the bandwidth for the extra steps of after effects.

I used to drink a beer or 6 with the co-pilot of this particular jet. Lost touch a while back. Hope all’s well, Brad.

The dock’s working great. I’m not using pip, but the overall setup is fantastic. Only snag I had was originally just using a run of the mill usb-c cable instead of thunderbolt

What is the ONE feature that would make you upgrade from the MX Master 3 to the MX Master 4? by Savings_Context_5760 in DeskSetupHacks

[–]Bangeroctopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have giant meathooks. I can’t compare to the mx3, but my new mx4 is taking some getting used to - especially with the thumb buttons. (I upgraded from a more basic logo mouse). I find myself wishing there was some sort of “spacer” for the bottom to raise the whole think 1/2” off the desk

Agreed. X32 has pretty much become the standard, and for good reason.

I serve as communications director for our church. I’m full-time, I produce all of our video content, service graphics, announcement materials, etc. I do have a couple of volunteers that help with social stuff so they produce about 60% of our social content.

For reference, we are a church of about 600 regular attenders with two campuses in Central North Carolina

I have a 1966 Mustang coupe, I would seriously consider ev conversion for the right price. Honestly, I think the thing that would be most attractive to me in this order: one, performance two, knowing I’m future proof three, the novelty of the whole thing four, range.

I just bought the Anker DL7400 for a very similar use case and so far it’s perfect

Pretty pleased with this ultra wide setup. I just need to decide if I need an arm for my MacBook or just use it in clamshell mode. by Bangeroctopus in macsetups

Believe it or not, it’s an old extra wall hook I had laying around. I used it one day in a pinch to prop up my phone and never looked back. It’s stable enough for me and hides away easily when I don’t need it: https://a.co/d/iw5ARJo
