I don’t think I’m the one being ridiculous

I am looking at it from the perspective of the parent, not from the perspective of Notre Dame.

If my son had made the decision to go to a school, I am assuming it would have been a decision that was discussed at great length with the family. If, after the family and the son had made the decision, a football coach tried to change my son’s mind, I would be very unhappy with that coach.

I understand your point, that sometimes a football coach is more than just a football coach. I would not have any problem with the coach giving advice along the way, but once the decision was made, I would be unhappy, as a parent, if the coach tried to change my son’s mind.
