Agreed but could also have said same thing about BK in 2022

I traveled to Minneapolis a good bit over the years for work. You can still tell that it was once an amazing industrial town in an earlier era.

Now it’s a hell hole.

What does your friend think about leaking this information on TD?
Pretty sure Sexton is based in Memphis
It’s rampant in corporate America among lower and mid levels.

Major career obstacle if people don’t make a conscious effort to correct habit. Executives don’t speak like that.

Haven’t heard this name in a while. Is he still a billionaire? W&T is worth a fraction of what it was.

Used to see him when I was at Greenway Plaza a lot back in the day. He would always drive his Ferrari 458 to work every day.

What is it about Tesla that makes Elon so rich?


Tesla is not a car company. The market values it as one of the most cutting edge technology companies in the world.

The company stock price and thus most of elon’s net worth is tied to the potential of scaling up full self driving tech, robotaxies, robotics, etc etc.

However all of these things that make it a “Microsoft-level” company have not fully materialized yet. FSD, Robotaxi - these are still in development but the market understands the potential with Elon’s execution prowess hence why it’s valued at $1T.

I would think his exit is already priced in.
This story has never made sense. Why would Woodward care if he fired Davis?
The original contract that he drew up still had a large buyout WITH NO OFFSET - meaning Jimbo could get a new coaching job and still must get paid in full by A&M. Also If Jimbo got fired under his original deal the buyout still would have been like $45M.

Anyone remember the story about Saban recommending we hire Houston Nutt when he left in 2004?

Head coaching talent evaluation isn’t his strong suit.

My point is it’s high risk. You put all your eggs in the Lane basket while other candidates get hired.
