I wish more was written about this. Until you mentioned it during the coaching search I had no idea at all that his dad anything more than a normal father to an NFL owner type impact. I'd love to hear more details about this because it strikes me as odd that a guy who had become a multibillionaire by age 34 would rely so heavily on anyone, even his father, in that type situation. I find it fascinating to consider. Was Dan just totally clueless about football and needed someone to tell him what to do?
