They look comfortable asf..but ugly asf tooOk, admittedly, I don't get the appeal of sneakers, but I can't see why anyone wouldn't like those. What exactly is wrong with them?

Looked up his net worth and at least one website puts its at 12 million (who knows if it’s accurate). But if Ed is earning even 5 percent interest per year with nothing but annuities and extremely safe investments, he’s still bringing home $600,000 and keeping 400k after taxes. No need for a full time job.
I don't buy those websites as they relate to anything but corporate CEO's for ****. Would have had to spend A LOT of money to get to $12M net worth. And that's not even getting into the economic growth from ~2010-2019ish.
Yeah, if you're canning guys every year for no reason, but there's no downside to clearing out guys who have little history to show they can do better and aren't performing right now. There wasn't anyone on staff last year who was so accomplished and performed so well that an outsider wouldn't have understood firing them.
Agent takes money, the tax man takes money, you spend some money to help your close friends and family that sacrificed for you. You generally end up spending a bunch of money on a house (mortgaged with interest) for comfort, safety, and keeping up with your colleagues. The house money only depreciates, but helps some in terms of asset protection. Then, some people lose a bunch of money on Divorce, Lifestyle choices, multiple houses, poor investments (other than the house), and attorneys etc. In the end, 12 million is still a handsome amount of wealth. However, like ER20 said, in the end it’s not about the money, but about the memories.
Lol. You don’t have to try to spin a contrarian angle on everything. If you have the replacement (Reed) ready and set to take over for one of the humps on staff, explain to me how that would make it difficult to hire a replacement.Here's the justifiable explanation (in general, not speaking to Patke specifically): If you are known in coaching circles as a guy who fires people regularly, it's going to be that much more difficult to hire to your staff.
Who wants to work for a business when it's well-known they're quick to fire?
Same reason an AD shouldn't fire an HC after one year. You have a reputation as a boss and college coaching is a tight circle.
This ain’t Ped State, friend.Hoping he is able to inject a lot of himself into current and future Canes.
Football players are notoriously great with money.I don't buy those websites as they relate to anything but corporate CEO's for ****. Would have had to spend A LOT of money to get to $12M net worth. And that's not even getting into the economic growth from ~2010-2019ish.

Those websites are a complete joke.
Can’t count on those numbers when it comes to former NFL players. Nobody goes broke or bankrupt quicker than those guys.Looked up his net worth and at least one website puts its at 12 million (who knows if it’s accurate). But if Ed is earning even 5 percent interest per year with nothing but annuities and extremely safe investments, he’s still bringing home $600,000 and keeping 400k after taxes.

He’s a former football player, man!I don't buy those websites as they relate to anything but corporate CEO's for ****. Would have had to spend A LOT of money to get to $12M net worth. And that's not even getting into the economic growth from ~2010-2019ish.
This comment is moronic and based on absolutely nothing short of small logic and a small brain.
Blake James said specifically "we expect Ed to be around here a lot."
Speaking with nothing to back it up isn't a great look.
Please, go on...Thanks, but I hate to break it to you... I'm a professional money manager by background. I'm well aware of the nuances of wealth and could write a dissertation on managing professional athlete wealth.
My point specifically was that unless you had a guy with a great resume, you can fire coaches after last year's performance and the rest of the coaching world will be fine with it. Prospective hires won't be thinking you'll fire them for nothing, they can see quite well why those other guys were fired.There's a big difference between being accomplished and deserving to be fired. I can't say one or the other for Patke. Maybe turning over the offensive staff after one year was good enough?

When did we start believing Blake James?
Please, go on...
