What are the requirements to fill the role of an excellent father?
To teach manners? To train the worlds best quarterback? etc?

judging by my brother....
to simply be there as often as you can. to have near to infinite patience. to provide. to be willing to make a complete fool of yourselves no matter what your mates say. to kick the shins of anybody who ever gets near to your offspring without their and/or your explicit permission.
to love them to pieces, guess that sums it up.

Have to ability to make money and provide. Money equals fatherhood, seriously that is the single most important attribute to it. The rest are all wishy washy things that people like to mention before the bare facts.

I recommend The Continuum Concept also. One of the top 10 books overall that changed my worldview actually.

Love, feed, clothe, respect, and play with your children. Don't spoil them. Educate them well about the world around them. Treat them like equals, unless they're doing something seriously dangerous/stupid, in which case feel free to punish them (not physically, though). Engage in debates, tell them, what you do, have them read magazines like the Economist or The Atlantic to expand their horizons.
Well, that's what my parents do/did, and I turned out fine..

Aside from the REALLY obvious (no molestation, murder, beatings), here is a list and a random paragraph following it:
-Emotionally stable
-No serious substance abuse/addiction problems
-As positive a relationship with the child's other parent as possible
-Adaptable parenting particular needs of the child (some kids need more structure than others)
-Spends lots of time with them, if possible
-Sets good examples and teaches them positive values
And give the child some siblings if possible. It teaches them to be less selfish and get along with others. Oh, and make the little bastards share a bathroom with people. I find it so annoying how some of my peers find it horrifying when they don't get their own bathroom (moving out, residence, whatever). They come from those households that have 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, and are completely unprepared for the humilities of real life. Ya, it smells like someone else's crap... get over it.

There are many things required for fatherhood, but to become a good father I think it can all be summarized into one single catch-phrase:
To become a good role model for your children.
It's all there. Good provider. Morally upright. Non-violent. No substance abuse. Listener. Adviser. Source of information and guidance. Friend.
The things that children learn into their hearts is what they see, not what they hear. So, do everything that will make them want to emulate you as they grow up, and nothing that will sully your image in their eyes.

There's more important things (like love, being consistent, etc.) but they've probably been mentioned already.

Be involved in your kids life. Listen to them and talk to them. If they need to be punished, explain why they are being punished. When they are good or bad, recognize it, and react appropriately. Be an example to them...not an excuse.

Things to do:
Teach them to be inquisitive and seek the reason of things
Pass on a sense of honor, responsibility, and integrity
Encourage kindness and tolerance but defining right from wrong
Encourage them in their various hobbies and activities
Dispense wisdom in times of crisis
Live up to what you teach
Things not to do:
Pigeonhole them into interests and profession that they show no interest or proclivity towards
Be overbearing when they should be given independence
Give them free reign when they act irresponsibly
And from personal experience (as a child) never cheat on your wife with one of your coworkers, only to divorce your wife and marry the coworker and move 775 miles away

make sure they know money isnt nearly as important as happiness and that having one doesnt necessarily mean you get the other.
let him know that any pain they could experience in life is easily withstood and that pleasure is easy to obtain.
let them play outside.
expose them to other cultures and viewpoints than your own and your communities, then let them decide with an informed decision what they believes.
dont waste your time trying to instill traits that you have no control of. little bobby may just not like philosophy and he may not give a kite about anything you're interested in...but that's ok. as long as he finds a way to be happy in this world, you'll die happy.
oh, and if they ever ask for a musical instrument...buy it for them as soon as you can. even if it's drums and you live in a quiet residential neighborhood.
