re: Anybody else bothered by rampant nepotism in sports (coaching)?

Nepotism really drives me crazy b/c I feel like it's quite literally the antithesis of what America is all about.
You think there aren't 500 (or probably way more) young adults in the greater Philly area who were more qualified and would have been willing to kill to get the job that Andy Reid's dickhead son was given?
You really think there aren't 400 men more qualified to run the St. Louis Rams' defense than Gregg Williams' son?

Thinking that America isn't about nepotism is very naive. Having successful parents has an extremely positive correlation with having a successful life, regardless of the parent's profession. A fortune 500 executive may not be able to hire their unqualified son or daughter but they have the connections to get that son or daughter into whatever school or internship or job is needed to become qualified. Private businesses are passed down to children all the time. Old money families like the Kennedy's, Vanderbilts, and Bush's are American nobility. Is the presidency a nepotistic institution? We've had two father son combos already and we were an assassination away from a third.
