I always admired Archie Manning. He had 2 superstars as sons, but he never interfered with their football careers/choices. And I'll take a wild guess that he knew more about football than Boo's mother and Nico's father. I remember Fulmer saying that Archie often fell asleep during their meetings.

They should take some lessons from him!
Afterall these men are 18 or older. Men that age are fighting in our armed forces and often have to make more important choices(without mommy and daddy's advice). In addition, they don't have the luxury of a portal to correct their "perceived" bad choices!
