Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 880491, member: 628"] Neither. I wouldn't want my [I]children's [/I]mentor or role model being a college football coach. That's silly, honestly. If my kid's primary mentor and role model isn't my wife and I then we've failed pretty spectacularly as parents. Question... when I went to college I did not choose a school based on which adult male there would develop me into a man or shape my character. I'm pretty sure my parents expected me to develop myself given the opportunity they were providing. Why do we attach such importance to a college athlete needing to be "developed" by their head coach? Seems like the other 99% of students on campus get by just fine without said "development".
