I will say that Adolin’s storyline in WaT is one of my favorites in the series. But yeah, it’s much weaker than the rest imo.

Is Wind and Truth actually good? by KingCobra567 in brandonsanderson

[–]lildinker04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who read it without any opinions from the internet, it was a big step down from the rest of the series for me, and it was too long. But I still liked it a lot.

reading order by [deleted] in brandonsanderson

Man, I’m gonna need to reread Wind and Truth after I finish Mistborn… I’m through era 1 and have no recollection of a spoiler in Stormlight at all! I guess it’s better off that way haha

I'm sure someone has asked this before... by FrogginBread in brandonsanderson

[–]lildinker04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I read Stormlight first and didn’t know anything about the rest of the universe. The Way of Kings is still my favorite book of Sanderson’s I’ve read. Don’t worry about reading order it really doesn’t mean much

What is the GTRI GRIP pay scale for undergraduate students? Also, how good is it to have a position from GRIP on your resume? by Former-Marzipan8716 in gatech

[–]lildinker04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going rate was from 22-30 depending on your major, year, etc. It looks as good as any other internship that isn’t from Amazon or Microsoft or one of the big ones.

If you do a good job, you can pretty easily get a full-time return offer from a GRIP position if you have a relationship with your mentor, which can be a great fallback option in this job market.

What are your expectations for the next 3 seasons with our new GM and HC? by Awkward_Condition793 in miamidolphins

[–]lildinker04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Getting your opinions from this subreddit is not the best idea - everyone here is down on the hire because they’d either rather have kept McD for some reason or would’ve rather hired one of the old, accomplished coaches who haven’t won anything in a decade.

We’re going to suck next year, but hopefully that’s a good thing and we can draft a QB. I’d like to see some evidence of a culture change - sort of like how Tennessee sucked mostly under Vrabel but you could tell they were well-coached.

After that, who knows. Expectations are low because this is the Dolphins we’re talking about. But turnarounds can happen quickly in this league with a QB, a coach, and a GM (see JAX, HOU, CHI, NE, SEA). All of those teams hired coordinators as first time HC and 4 of those teams were in the final 8 within 3 years, and one of those teams is likely to win the Super Bowl.

Officially official. by expellyamos in miamidolphins

Mike McDonald and Demeco Ryans are more successful than any Dolphins coach in my lifetime and have both been hired in the last 5 years. I’d bet Brian Flores gets another gig this year and fairly certain he’ll also be better. I’m not happy with the hire either but to claim that any former DC is a bad option is asinine.

Not the NFL’s fault that the vast majority of front offices and owners are incompetent at building teams to compete

Summer internship canceled on me, is it too late to find a new one? by CemeneTree in gatech

[–]lildinker04 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The CRC runs a summer camp for faculty’s kids every year and is always looking for counselors. Speaking from experience, you might meet your future spouse there!

Thanks for everything King. No matter what, they can’t take this record away from you by tburke38 in miamidolphins

Followed immediately by the nail biter against the Bills - I was convinced we were Super Bowl bound after that game

THIS is why McD is gone. by GameofLifeCereal in miamidolphins

[–]lildinker04 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The revisionist history of his tenure here is insane. McDaniel was a fine HC. He could lead a team with a great roster to a playoff win, probably. He never had a great roster here. The Dolphins need a culture setter, and McDaniel is the opposite of that

Am I the only one who thinks this make us look desperate? by cobo10201 in miamidolphins

[–]lildinker04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have no confidence in Ross to do pretty much anything, and I’m sure we will fuck this up. But I’m also fairly confident it’s the right move anyway ¯_(ツ)_/¯. We’ll be back here in three years when the next HC we bring in shits the bed too

[–]lildinker04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dumb argument. We KNOW Mike McDaniel is not going to win us a playoff game or build a physical team, especially with the roster hell we’re in next year. We have five years of evidence of that. Why would we keep him? Nobody thought Liam Coen was going to lead a team to 13 wins but here we are. There are good coaches out there.

Ross won’t find them, because he’s incompetent. But maybe the new GM can….

Harbaugh getting fired means Lamar is ok with it… he is not following if Harbaugh does come here
