Coaches' Kids

How do ya'll feel about coaches' kids playing on the same team as their fathers?

Cody Hawkins, Jay MacIntyre, Curtis Chiaverini....I'm not sure. Obviously performance-wise I love JMac, resented Cody Hawkins' mediocrity, and have no opinion on Chiaverini as a redshirt freshman. I have mixed feelings.

Cody: smart player and good kid, is going to be a good coach, but played for a bad coach and had little support around him, probably should have gone to BSU where he would have had a better situation, but probably would have been a backup his entire time. Hate for Dan was unfairly placed on Cody.
Jay: was probably as good a QB in HS as Cody, he has been damn consistent as a receiver, runs good routes and has proven his worth. Will be a good coach if he pursues that choice. Dad did the right thing and let others decide if he was offered and by refusing to look at him for QB.
Curtis: walk-on who works hard. If he ever plays meaningful minutes it will be because he earned it.

I think as fans we make a bigger deal out of this than the players do.

Players know who is working hard and earns time and opportunity, players know who shows up on Saturday and contributes to the team succeeding.

Hard to imagine any players resenting Jay. He works his butt off and has made a lot of plays for us while taking some brutal hits.

I think Cody was liked by his teammates but the players knew that as long as he was upright he was going to be the starter, even if someone else deserved a shot.

Curtis is going to face an uphill battle. We have a bunch of other guys at his position who are more gifted than he is. Wouldn't shock me though to see him like Jay earn some time with guts and effort. Don't think he is quite as talented as Jay though who does have some very quick feet.

I think Cody’s presence hurt us in recruiting big time also.

I agree.

QBs avoided the situation and because Cody was limited as a QB, wide receivers avoided us as well.

Not Cody's fault but Dan's mishandling of the whole situation was a part i think of the attitude of the players going bad in that time period.

When the players start to think that a coach is playing somebody ahead of someone else who could help them win then the focus and the effort of the entire team goes down. Players don't focus in practice or in film study. The mental/emotional aspect of those teams went bad.
 
Well, in 17 years, Scott Frost will finally have that true freshman QB to finally turn the Nebraska program around.

isn't gcu an internet school like Trump university? That'll be his next gig after this failure to launch.

No - it's an actual school that has popped up and grown through it's offering of online education. It competes at the D1 level in many Olympic sports, to include men's volleyball.
A great club teammate of the twins got a scholarship to play volleyball there. They also have a basketball team.
Also, much like Liberty it is a "Christian school" although probably not quite to Falwell level as GCU has a Barstool Sports handle - Barstool Lopes.

I don't even remember the names of the QBs we had in the seasons after Hawkins left, so yeah, it hurt recruiting.

2011: Burnette, Dorman, Hansen, Hirschman
2012: Dillon, Dorman, Hirschman, Schrock, Jordan Webb, Connor Wood
2013 is when Sefo took over.

That 2012 depth chart looks about as horrible as the one after Klatt left when Bernard Jackson started.
