How to raise a Heisman winner. Just about any dad who's taught a son how to throw a pass has secretly harbored dreams of gridiron glory. Griffin says if you're serious about your kid's success, both in the classroom and on the field, his secret is simple.

Spend more time with them," he says. Take time to work with your children to show them wisdom. I showed him people who had tremendous talent, but lost it making poor decisions. That keeps them humble. That's one of the reasons he's spending time right now researching Heisman winners who did not go on to do well professionally, so that he can help his son explore the common pitfalls.

Meanwhile, he says, developing strength of character is just as important as developing a strong body. As he continues to train military kids at Fort Hood, he says "we don't measure success by medals, or by how fast they run or how high they jump.

In the face of adversity, the Washington Redskins have discovered two things about Robert Griffin III : He is an extremely hardheaded young man, and he has an interfering father. Those dual issues will have a significant impact on owner Daniel Snyder after the season, when he decides what to do about the strained relationship between his star quarterback and coach Mike Shanahan.

The issues have come to a head in the past two weeks and collided with the similarly strong-willed coach. After he threw an errant pass and the offensive series ended, he came to the sideline and talked with quarterbacks coach Matt LaFleur, who was in the coaches booth not on the sideline as originally reported here.

LaFleur, a former quarterback who never played in the NFL but has coached in the league for six years, began explaining to Griffin that part of the problem with the throw was his poor footwork, an issue that many observers around the league have noted about Griffin as he has struggled this season.

As LaFleur continued to talk, Griffin grew impatient and brushed off the instruction. The reaction was not considered mean-spirited, but it was dismissive and spoke to the larger issue of how difficult Griffin has become to coach this season as he has struggled with physical limitations from his knee injury at the end of the playoffs.
