I’ve always prided myself on being a good judge of character. And when I look at Coach Doege, I see a man who loves my son the way a father hopes someone will. When he got hired, Winnona and I actually met him before Noah did. We walked out of that meeting, and knew. He and Noah were the same person. Being the parent of a quarterback is something you can’t fully explain. You feel every snap. Every mistake. Every bit of praise and blame. You watch your son carry the weight, and you carry it with him. I see that same weight in Coach. Watch him late in a game. When the outcome is finally decided and the camera finds him, you can literally see him exhale. That’s a feeling I know all too well. He’s right there with Noah, living every snap. He played the position. He understands the pressure. But the amount he cares… that’s the difference Coach, the sacrifices you, Abi and Leighton make so our son can chase his dreams are things our family can never fully repay. We know every hour you give Noah is time your family shares with ours. We see it, and we’re grateful. On top of all that, the man is a football genius. Why wouldn’t any QB in America want to learn from someone who understands the game at that level and loves you that deeply You set the standard for the coach and the man I want my son around. Love you Coach @mrsFeef
