[a personal aside - my oldest is a 17 year old HS junior who may have a future in Div I track; my youngest is an exhausting 4th grader - so its too early to tell with him]</p><p>I would love it if my son went to Georgia to play football - for all the obvious reasons. &nbsp;But would that be best for him? &nbsp;Does Coach Richt &nbsp;discourae a boy's nature "lust for life"? <a href="http://www.dawgsports.com/comments/2007/5/3/183817/6498/3#3">http://www.dawgsports.com/comments/2007/5/3/183817/6498/3#3</a> &nbsp;Would my boy be better off at a school with an avuncular figure who allowed 'boys to be boys'? (FSU) &nbsp;Should he go to Penn State and plug into the nationwide network that is Joe Paterno?</p><p>Is the proper role of a football coach as a <i>pater familias</i>? &nbsp;Or should he primarily concern himself with X's and O's?</p><p>Since I suspect that most Dawgsports.com readers are male and are of age to have children, <b>who would you want to coach your son?</b></p><p>When answering the question, leave out of the equation the school or its location. &nbsp;In order words, leave out of your calculus that it snows alot in State College or that southern California is a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah.</p><p>Kyle, Thomas is a pretty tough looking kid. &nbsp;Where do you want him to go?</p> <fieldset class="poll-box"> <legend>Poll</legend> <h5 class="poll-title">Who would you want to coach your son?</h5> <div id="poll_container_24534_535222354" class="poll_container"> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">1%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Terry Cullen</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">1</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">0%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Tommy Tubberville</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">0</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">4%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Mack Brown</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">3</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">9%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Pete Carroll</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">6</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">4%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Steve Spurrier</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">3</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">1%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Bob Stoops</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">1</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">1%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Bobby Bowden</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">1</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">19%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Joe Paterno</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">12</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">54%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Mark Richt</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">33</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <div class="poll_option clearfix"> <div class="poll_option_percentage" style="display:none">1%</div> <div class="poll_option_result"> <h5>Nick Saban</h5> <div class="poll_option_bar"><span class="vote_count">1</span> votes</div> </div> </div> <p class="poll-total-votes"><strong>61</strong> votes | <span class="poll-has-closed">Poll has closed</span> </p> </div> <script> FastInit.addOnLoad(function(){ new SBN.Poll('poll_container_24534_535222354').animateResults({renderImmediately:true}); }); </script> </fieldset>
