They should all move to Ohio, not Texas.


Except for Urban Meyer of course.

I don't know about "zero" sense. You go where the talent is, and there is a LOT of talent in California.

Now, if he "moves" Tesla to Texas, it'll be just like the "move" that HPE just announced, where they're moving headquarters to Texas, but still maintaining a campus in San Jose and will retain the employees there. Tesla isn't going to just pull out of their factory in Fremont, and they're not going to fire or force a move for their engineering staff in the Bay Area. They know that all of their best talent will have their PICK of other jobs in the Bay Area, and many won't move.

It makes a lot of sense for companies to move HQ. It makes a lot of sense for companies to diversify geographically to pick up talent in multiple pools. But the Bay Area is still, IMHO, the LARGEST pool of talent for tech, and it's not close.
we all know how this works....

they don't all move right away, they don't all move.  But, they don't add anyone in the old facility, all additions are in Texas.  Little by little the majority ends up in Texas.

my brother hopes they all move to Round Rock

he is renting his house there while living in Dallas, hoping to some day be able to seel the house in RR for a pile of money

Yup, he's clearly in Austin now, already coaching the team.  Done deal I guess.

Yeah, and then they acquire some up and coming startup in the Bay Area and the cycle starts anew lol...

94's giant computer company employer has been based in Austin from the start... And their careers page has 462 job openings posted in CA right now (some may be miscategorized--I just did a quick look). Many of those from the first few pages are due to them buying a company that provides Virtual Machine softWARE... 

They might end up with a smaller footprint in CA in the long haul, but trust me, Silicon Valley isn't going anywhere.

Pre-COVID I think VMWare would eventually end up with jobs shifting to Austin.  EMC certainly has had a lot of their more operationally focused jobs move from Mass to Texas over the past 4 years.

But now, I think we're going to see a major shift both at my company, and many many others, to WFH.  So physical location won't be nearly as important.

I'm all about WFH. I just want to do it in Austin.

My campaign is a complete failure.

Tell you what, you bring Urban along with you, and it's all good.  He's in Southern California right now, so it should be easy to grab him.

The Ford Flex would be an excellent kidnapping car... So much room.

 Ryan Day is 20-1 as a head coach.
Terry Bowden started 19-1-1 at Auburn.

The boosters are part of the cultural problem at Texas for sure. They have more than enough money though. The Sabans and Meyers level coaches can go places with that kind of money where they will be king. So they won't be going where some rich fairies think they've bought a new cabana boy. Plus it is a bad environment for players. They tend to be coddled and underachieve.
