It really does. How would you like your evaluation criteria to include, "Evaluates how student athletes are living and ensures they make the right lifestyle choices?"
Edit: For instance, every time that a football player makes "a poor lifestyle choice" does this poor sap bear the brunt of the athletic department wrath? And what counts as a "poor lifestyle choice?" Selling sneakers online?
I'm reminded of one of my wife's friends from our early parenting days who was constantly encouraging her child to "make another choice." Riley* could be whacking my child with a dumptruck, and while I was rushing to remove my child, she was cheering, "Make another choice, Riley*! Make another choice!"
*May or may not be real name.
Edit 2: I can just see the poor analyst encouraging an OL at a party: "Don't crumple that bigmouth, Behemoth! Make another choice! Make another ... oh shit."
Ace!! You left off the central figure's name! The handsome fella with the winning smile and bowtie T-shirt is none other than Jude Stamper, "Michigan's Secret Weapon!"
for the optimism! I am definitely a Kool-Aid drinker! If only they could figure out who the One Guy is *before* each play and substitute him out!
Here's hoping for more improvement in the OL and run game, and each man improving. They will get it! Tasting success over these next games (one at a time, of course) may be just what the doctor ordered to get all 11 men hitting on all pistons. Football choreography!
And also hoping that JH whispering in JOK's ear will yield dividends wrt progressions.
Here's a song we stumbled across when we experienced our loss. Maybe it will speak to you as well. (Just a note -- it has a Christian theme: I'm not trying to ambush you, just sharing something that was meaningful to us.)
If you don't mind some free advice, we found the following bits helpful:
1.) Time can heal wounds -- but you have to give time that opportunity (see below)
2.) Take care of each other -- sometimes one or the other of you will be hurting "more" -- comfort each other.
3.) Go into "survivor" mode, where you live day-to-day, and accept any and all help offerred. People *want* to help you -- let them know how they can (meals, cleaning, errands,...)
4.) The greatest healing lies in going *through* the grief -- your daughter's life is worth mourning -- go ahead and mourn. Someday, you'll realize that you didn't spend the whole day under the cloud, or that you spent less time sobbing. And days will follow where you realize that you actually noticed the sun, or other small things. You don't forget, but it begins to sting less, and then, who knows, maybe you write your own song.

Wonder if they had to post for the Head Coach job? We'll have to keep our eyes peeled, so we'll know when one of the coordinators is on the hot seat!
Well, there is the whole "Maintain and update football computer database." thing.
I was struck by the "Ensure Head Coach adheres to offensive game plan" requirement, though.
er, /s
