Is that the same one that had some type of legal issue a few years ago. It's always exceptionally sad when parents have to bury their kids.

Not surprising. Both his sons are some pretty serious drug addicts.

I'd be very surprised if that wasn't it.

What a loss. Does it seem odd that so many coaches' kids have this sort of thing happen? Tony Dungy, Joe Philbin, Andy Reid. I wonder, does their success have something to do with this? Have they possibly dedicated so much time to their craft that their family pays a price?
I'm not trying to lay blame or point fingers, I'm just wondering why this seems to happen to NFL coaches at a seemingly-greater rate than that of the larger population.

Are football coaches generally sh*tty parents, or what?
