What is this helicopter daddy bullshite?

quote:

Galu Tagovailoa, the father of starting quarterback Tua and his younger brother, freshman backup Taulia, has had a strong relationship with Sarkisian dating back to Tua’s youthful days in Hawaii. With Sarkisian back in Tuscaloosa after two years in the NFL, his longtime friend, Galu, was a regular during practices this spring, according to sources inside Alabama athletics. Galu even worked with his sons at times.


quote:

Galu, a self-styled quarterbacks guru, is not officially on staff, but the father of Tua and Taulia has had a growing impact at Alabama over the last few months. He’s acting as a quarterbacks consultant behind the scenes for the offense, and is a consistent presence around the program. For the next few years, few others around Alabama football will have the power to affect the program quite like the Tagovailoas’ father.


I can't be the only one concerned with this...

He has always been that way. The reason Tua and Taulia are here are because he controls their lives.
Personally hate it, but this isn't some new shite.

I'm not a big "TRUST SABAN" kind of guy, but when it comes to who does what inside the day to day or the program and who is allowed access and who isn't and all of that stuff.......I'mma trust Saban.

I see nothing wrong with this at all. Even June Jones speaks highly of Gaul

Is he a good coach and a positive influence on his kids? If so, I don't see the problem.

Tua and his brother both were elite QBs before they showed up to UA

May be too many cooks in the kitchen but at least this cook knows how to cook

Seeing that Tua is one of the best passing quarterbacks of my lifetime, I think dad knows what he is doing.

I’d like to know the extent he was working with his son. There’s been reports Paul Bryant has been at practices for Tyson but we don’t hear anything about that. Probably overblown stuff like always

If Saban is not concerned, then I'm not. Saban would shut it down if he thought it were an issue.

Galu is a really good coach. Let’s put it that way.

Im not concerned with it. Most of the time a players best coach is their dad.

I played Football and Baseball through HS and my dad was by far my best coach.

Things like this coming off Alabama boards serve no useful purpose, unless one is trying to create problems for the program. Anybody who thinks that Saban would allow something like this to become a problem obviously knows little about the man and his control of the football environment within the program.
There's an old saying that my buddies and I would use when confronted with a potential adversary. "Don't start no shite, and there won't be no shite".....I believe it is a good time to throw this back out.
