This is exactly why Daniel Samohin desperately needs a new coach. After a certain point, no one is going to flourish with their parent as a primary coach. The professionalism of someone who is so heavily personally invested in the skater can provide the best perspective.
(Seriously, Daniel Samohin is such a wasted talent at this point. Not a US man, I know, but that's what this comment has made me think of.)
Also, I hope Andrew is indeed moving to a new primary coach. I imagine the benefit to his skating will be huge in the long-term.
If Nathan wants to experiment with going to school while training, after the Olympics is the time to do it. That way he can figure out what works/doesn't work and make adjustments for the next Olympics. I wonder if he plans on relocating for an Ivy League or anything like that?
Chloe Kim's dad is her coach. I know it's a different sport.
I've never understood why such talented people want to go to college WHILE they are skating. College will be there FOREVER. I have a friend who got her PhD in her 70's. But the ability to do multiple quads in a program has to be rather short lived.
