It might just be crying over spilt milk but some crazy stories coming out of Lincoln about Dom insisting that he intend team meetings, trying to insert him into offensive game planning, etc.
Just thought it might be of interest since he was a Lion. Not sure if the stories are true but they’re consistent with how I always kind of viewed him as a person.
He always lacked self-awareness. This is as cringe as it gets—with the exception of his son miming everything about Mahomes.
If he ends up transferring below where his underlying talent merits then that may vindicate the rumors.
Maybe Dom can play center and get blown 5 yards into the backfield all game.
That is the way his brother coached OLine for Nebraska.
I’m really looking forward to see what this guy from Ga Tech can do with our O-Line and that includes TEs that need to block as well. Ga Tech did so well without getting all the 5 star recruits.
That was his specialty. This situation reminds me of mccaffrey.
Give Dom a break. Attending Dylan’s games Dom has to face his arch nemesis, the marching band, on an almost weekly basis. His bravery in not firing torrents of abuse at the bands is admirable, and it stands to reason that it’s having an impact elsewhere in his life.
Seems consistent with about 75% of the parents of kids that graduated high school in the last 6-8 years.
My wife was the Director of a large medical practice in Grand Rapids before she retired last June.
In her last two years she had 3 young recent college graduates apply for positions in her practice that wanted to know if it was OK if their mom came to AND SAT IN ON the job interview.
My wife said “Ummm…that would be a no” to all 3
2 of the 3 then declined to interview for the position.
The one that did interview broke into tears when she felt the questioning was to tough and left mid interview
True story
I want more tea on this. This kind of stuff fascinates me
I’ve heard that a lot. Parents coming to job interviews. Crazy.
If you weren’t a trusted news source, I’d say baloney. I can’t fathom how that became a thing. Of course, when I was grew up, no one wore a bike helmet. Maybe bike helmets caused brain damage for those college graduates? That I can fathom…
As mind blowing as it is, it is absolutely a thing. We are looking at a generation raised by “helicopter parents” or some use the term “snowplow parents” (because they clear all the obstacles for their kids) who struggle to do things for themselves. It is kind of mind blowing to people of my generation.
Another example….I was at a family gathering a couple weeks ago and saw one of my nephews, a young man who had been in college for a couple years, so he was at least a Junior in college. He is a nice young man, a kid I liked, so I stopped to chat with him. He mentioned a job he was working at and how he liked it etc. I was somewhat surprised because I started to gather this was a full time job, something that would be difficult to do while attending college full time. So I asked “So are you taking some time off from college?”
His answer was “Yea, my mom forgot to fill out and send in my FASFA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) before this year, so I didn’t get my financial aid and decided to just work for a semester, then SHE can reapply for me and I will go back to school next year if I decide not to just keep working.
So a 21 year old kid’s college career got derailed, maybe for good….because his mom was responsible for filling out HIS FASFA application and screwed up… instead of owning it himself and getting it done.
It is just hard for people of the Boomer generation to fathom. As a High School senior I scheduled my own SAT Exam, filled out all my college applications and my own FASFA, never mind staying on top of my FASFA for the duration of my time going to college.
I’m not a boomer and I struggle to fathom It. It is across class lines though. Half of my employees are 18-22 but they are all working class kids. They aren’t that way.
That’s a new one for me. What’s next the parents come to work with their adult children.
Yea, it certainly isn’t “all” kids. But it is something I hear more than I can wrap my head around. I mean, when I grew up, having a young adult ask if his mom could come to a job interview was literally unheard of. Now it is definitely a thing. And I would not be surprised if it is LESS prevalent among kids from true working class families as I feel like it is the people that were successful in their generation that are terrified of their kids not being over achievers.
No data to back that up but it would be of no surprise to me if it was confirmed that the worst/most “Snowplow Parents” are the ones that were big achievers themselves.
I was born in 1980 and when I was in school the extent of helicopter parenting was typically using connections to get a kid preferential treatment. Often in sports. But that stuff happened at the golf course or wherever. It was behind the scenes.
What if I told you one of the things our firm figured out was that post COVID, one of the reasons some young people did not want to return to working in the office vs. remote, was because … wait for it…. they were living at their parent’s home and enjoyed being able to get “help” with their work projects….
Plus mom can bring you meatloaf to work.
