I'm not a Father but reading what Brad Mccoy ( Colts Dad ) says here puts a lump in my throat. Sad how the good people get the shaft in life and many losers and bad people like we see daily keep having good things happen good for them.
Makes me wonder what you as a parent or I when I am a parent would/will say in this type of moment………what could you say knowing what a Great person you have Raised here.
Heros are not football players its the people who put kids like these in the world.
Wow.....maybe the hardest job in the world is parenting and explaining Life when you cant explain it yourself
Brad McCoy said father and son shared some tough moments Thursday night.
“We’re close, and he just looked at me with tears in his eyes and said, ‘I had ‘em. They were doing exactly what I was prepared for them to do. I knew what they were going to do, and I had ‘em.
“Why does this have to happen? I felt like I was going to complete every pass I threw.’ That’s the competitor in him coming out because he could sense he wasn’t going to get to play in the game again.
“It was one of those deals that was really hard. I was proud of him to get back out there on the sideline, trying to coach Garrett in the second half. I think that helped Garrett settle down because Colt was out there trying to help him with the things he needed to do. I was proud of him for that because he continued to be a leader, even though he couldn’t do the physical part of it.
“He didn’t enter the draft last year. It was for this reason. It wasn’t to win awards. It wasn’t to win the Heisman. It was to get his team to the national championship and win it. And that’s the tough part because he did everything he needed to do to get here, and then just didn’t get to play in the ballgame.
“I just hurt for him because his mom and I are in that relationship every day and have seen what he’s sacrificed. He has a huge faith. He’s going to figure out why this happened. God has a reason for everything in his life. And we will see Colt McCoy doing great, great things at another level, I have no doubt in that.”
