Well Sean McDermott is now available. But also don't forget other assistant coaches like Chris Shula.

Re: U.S. government has lost more than 10,000 STEM Ph.D.s since Trump took office FATE 01/28/26 04:34 AM
I don't know 'Peen. Some may say twelve government employees are "necessary" to change a light bulb.

As usual, the headline doesn't really paint the entire picture though. In fact, some may even (rightfully so) call the title of the thread a lie. The net loss was 4224 STEM Ph.D.s., it says it right there in the second paragraph of the story.

Never much time to read beyond the headline though, get your quick dopamine hit and move on to the next. But hell, anything to embellish a story that "Trump hates science"; I guess that's the goal anyway.

What a lot of us hate, and voted for, is government bloat. But as usual, just like Daman's post above, libs love to paint a scary picture of the future and forever hide in the bushes when it doesn't come to pass. It's like groundhog's day for dummies.

And then there's this:

Why they left


Science’s analysis found that reductions in force, or RIFs, accounted for relatively few departures in 2025. Only at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, where 16% of the 519 STEM Ph.D.s who left last year got pink RIF slips, did the percentage exceed 6%, and some agencies reported no STEM Ph.D. RIFs in 2025.

At most agencies, the most common reasons for departures were retirements and quitting. Although OPM classifies many of these as voluntary, outside forces including the fear of being fired, the lure of buyout offers, or a profound disagreement with Trump policies, likely influenced many decisions to leave.

Many Ph.D.s departed because their position was terminated. At NSF, 45% of the 204 STEM Ph.D.s who left last year were rotators—academics on leave from their university to work for a few years at the agency. Last year, NSF eliminated three-quarters of those positions.



So -- most departures had nothing to do with "pink slips". A lot of the people who left peed their pants on the way out the door because they don't like Trump. Many of the terminated were those that bounce back and forth between government and academia.

Scary story #4559 about how Trump is wrecking the country and there will be hell to pay later.

We can do what (I believe) the Patriots did. They hired a placeholder (Jerod Mayo), and then dumped him when someone they were targeting became available. This offensive roster is going to be a mess for at least another year.

I've been thinking about the timing of this whole thing over the past couple days.

Here's a conspiracy theory... Stefanski knew he was on his way out and broke the plan by winning the last two games. Jimmy was planning on being locked and loaded for the new coach to have a brand new QB in the draft. Stefanski knew he was the scapegoat and decided he wasn't going to go out as a lame duck.

CAVS on a pretty good roll right now, so Mobley being out 1-3 weeks is about right this season.

Re: DOJ, FBI conclude Jeffrey Epstein had no "client list," committed suicide PitDAWG 01/25/26 08:31 PM
DOJ commits 400 lawyers to review 2 million documents uncovered in Epstein files

by ALEXX ALTMAN-DEVILBISS | The National News DeskTue, January 6, 2026 at 11:54 AM

That was 19 days ago.

Yet no Epstein files have been released since December 23rd.

Justice Department said it has released 12,285 documents – less than 1% – of its Jeffrey Epstein-related files.

We were told the files would be released in batches as they were redacted.

No files have been released in 33 days now. The legal deadline to release all of the Epstein files was Dec. 19th.

Something is rotten in Denmark. Is that why trump wants Greenland so badly?

There is no deal. Same ole Trump song and dance. He creates an issue, gets his ass handed to him in public, backs down, claims a deal… show me the signed and enforceable international agreements, then I’ll believe it. But without hard proof, Trumps words mean nada, and that you can bank on.
