The differences are between a dump truck and a car, even a hummer and a Prius just isn’t that big of a difference.
Leaf is about 3 tons. A prius is 4. A dump truck is 36.

Vehicle weight is one of the primary factors for road damage. EVs are heavier than comparable sized combustion engine vehicles.

Second this… they’re out there pounding the roads too. Just as hard on the infrastructure.

EVs don’t damage the road more than a Prius in any meaningful way.

Its insane how much hate is here. Leach was a great person. His theories may have been batshit, but he was still a good guy. Helluva coach, helluva guy.

He was a conspiracy theorist who on multiple occasions tweeted doctored video of Obama that were really racist. He was an avid Trump supporter who made his black players identify pictures of Donald Trump in practice. When he went to MSU He made a bunch of racist tweets - at one point he had to apologize to his own players because they said they wouldn't play until he did because he tweeted some really fucked up imagery of a noose with a not-so-thinly veiled message about hanging a black man.
He was just a fucking piece of shit, and no one should mourn a bigot.

Probably isn't a coincidence, YouTube likes to recommend the same stuff to everyone. I got it too and would be willing to bet so did op.

That’s wild. I had no idea it was built here. Now I want to know in which shipyard.

Jesus people are really sticking their claws into Leach here. He had a positive impact on tons of people and I respect the guy, even if he believes conspiracy theories. The guy wasn’t no nick rolovich

How so? I follow college ball pretty closely and never heard of him doing anything horrible. Seemed like a funny dude with no filter in his press conferences

Turned wazzu from a perennial loser to having high win totals every year. They beat Oregon 4 or 5 years in a row with him at the helm and often lead the nation in passing. Could never figure out UW though lol.
His legacy in the sport is very far-reaching and goes well beyond wsu though. Father of the air raid offense we see all over college football today, and tons of current nfl/college coaches mentored under him

The only thing I really disliked about leach was the couple of times he threw players under the bus during press conferences and such. I think the guy just had no social awareness around things like that; otherwise he had a tremendous impact on football and the guy was mad funny.
