Daily News | Sean Desai’s path to becoming Eagles defensive coordinator was shaped by an immigrant story
Sean Desai had already diverted from medical school to an expected career in education when he told his parents he was turning down a tenured position teaching at George Washington to chase his dream of coaching in football.
Golden didn’t have a full-time job to match. But he told Desai that if one opened in six months, it was his to take. With only that assurance, and the encouragement of his then-girlfriend and future wife, Ojus, the then-26-year-old Desai decided to bet on himself.“I think that’s a credit to them. … But they knew that each way I built up some equity because I kept to my word,” Desai said. “And I was going to finish my degree. I was going to get my master’s. I got my doctorate.
“It was awesome. It was just great,” Desai said. “It really was because I tell everybody my first cousins — they’re really like my brothers and sisters. And I’ve got my brother, too. So that’s how we grew up. And so it was really close.” “And it’s an important conversation that needs to be said because you don’t necessarily need to lose one part of yourself to assimilate yourself to another part.”
