Doug Nussmeier, the Eagles quarterbacks coach, is confronted with the dilemma of coaching his team while his son Garrett Nussmeier is a strong NFL draft prospect. Garrett chose to stay an extra year at LSU, leading the team in notable statistics after stepping up as a starter. Doug reflects on his son's growth, emphasizing his determination and love for the game. As he prepares for a future where he may coach against his son, Doug remains supportive of Garrett’s journey through college football, which didn't resort to shortcuts despite the prolific options available today.
He wasn't always the biggest. He wasn't always the fastest. He wasn't always the best. But he always has his mindset there.
The biggest thing as a dad is his love of the game and his perseverance. It hasn't always been the easiest path. He's put his feet in the ground and had to fight.
He would come to me and say, 'Dad, do you have some time today? Can we go throw?'
While Daniels was setting the NFL ablaze as the 2024 Offensive Rookie of the Year, Nussmeier finally got his chance.
