@admill good point. That would be a strong finish to this thread!
I can feel Jonathan shuddering all the way over here in the UK.

If that’s not a “mistake” I don’t know what is.

Not sure if it will help you remember Chad, but it will sure help those around you remember you.

That is jumping to some huge conclusions and none of them favorable. Lets remember that for over a year Chad has been working and living in the PNW far away from Reno. That is unflatteringly wild speculation to say the least and is in bad taste.
I will leave you with the thought that I am about to ride indoors in my very unwashed bibs that is lacking in any speculation at all but is in worse taste!!!

Did you miss that post where Coach Chad asked for speculation to stop?

It’s clear we’re not going to know exactly what happened. Putting out more hypotheticals after one of the parties asked for it to end is odd, even if it’s not your boss or father - which is another odd thing to say

Show some respect?! It’s not all about you.
Have a nice day.

Who cares, let it be, let it be 
I wish nothing but the best for all parties involved. Life is crazy and we are all doing the best we can.
Now go ride your bike

Was he coerced to say that, though?

Or maybe it wasn’t really Chad who posted. Maybe an AI bot!

Sure, but you’re a guest here. The subject of the speculation asked for it to stop, so we probably ought to respect that. Seems reasonable.

I just re-read Chad’s post aloud using my best Coach Chad impression. It took me less than 5 minutes. When was the last time Coach Chad answered a podcast with such brevity?
Just sayin’…

Should be interesting to see if the business looks to replace Chad and what that looks like in terms of role and profile.
I find the debate as to the detail disrespectful to the parties involved as there is no informed view or comment.
Might be worth closing the thread as it serves no value to the community

I don’t know if they will. I would love if they brought on coaches of different backgrounds and used AI to actually create an ideal training plan(s). I’m not sure if AI is looking for achieving goals or if it is to keep consistency.
Watched Nate’s podcast intro again, and can’t stop thinking about one of my favorites from The Godfather: Paulie... Won't See Him No More - YouTube
About someone deciding to ride in unwashed bib shorts? 
People woke up thinking about the company, excited to click on anything with Chad and TrainerRoad in the same sentence. You can’t buy that. There’s no such thing as bad press.
TR marketing is like admiring a fine piece of art. You just keep noticing more meaning the longer you look at it.
Either that or they just fall conveniently into the space of “kind of a cluster, but great products with long track record.” Seems unlikely. I’ll bet on chess. Or some combo of cluster plus chess.

You Sure???
Regardless some of the posts here are in my opinion in bad taste to say the least. Not just regarding Chad but also the rest of the trainer road team.
I dont really like what Nate said at the beginning of the podcast but I am sure its a hard time for all and they all need a bit of slack in their communications. That does not apply to the rest of us though. Speculation is one thing. Some of your comments are another. Its almost like you are trying to egg on some kind of admission of what happened from someone somewhere. Aint going to happen. It also may be a residue of your own bad experience.
Anyways no a bad Idea to delete your post.
