In Pete Carroll's World: Snoop Dogg @ Sideline = OK; Coach's Kids @ Sideline = Not OK?

PrintWell this is kind of hilarious.
First a little refresher on what has gone on over at U$C's* sidelines (forget the stuff about allegations around agents) over the years:
Sideline passes for USC home football games might rank second only to Lakers' courtside seats as the ultimate status symbol on the Los Angeles sports scene, even if Kobe Bryant is not a Trojan. [...]
"I wish everybody could have the experience," Carroll said. "You can't see anything, it's not a great place to watch the game. It's just kind of cool and fun to be there." [...]
Rapper Snoop Dogg, for example, famously caught a ball tossed by running back LenDale White after a touchdown in 2005.
"Where else can you do that besides L.A.?" White said afterward.
However, the majority of sideline pass recipients are under the radar.
"To a certain extent, you want to create buzz," Lopes said. "This is L.A, we're in a big market and our games are on national TV.
"But there are a lot of people you don't know that are obscure . . . donors that have done something for the department. You want to take care of those people."
Uh yeah. I am sure the NCAA is looking into who was being taken care off over at U$C* all these years. But this post is not about that NCAA investigating. This post is about sideline passes.
Apparently under the current Pac-10 rules coaches cannot have their kids on the sidelines. So Neuheisel's three sons - Jerry (17), Jack (14) and Joe (12) - who are obviously huge UCLA football fans cannot be at the sidelines during the games at the Rose Bowl. CRN has been trying very hard to change this rule. He recently tried to get the rule changed by lobbying all the other Pac-10 coaches. Here is how it went:
I am assuming from that speech it was Petey who raised the objection?
Does anyone know more about this?
So Petey is objecting to little Joe Neuheisel hanging around UCLA football sidelines so he can be near his Dad during UCLA games:

Does anyone know anything more about this?
Does Petey really have objections to coach's kids hanging around his team's sidelines?
GO BRUINS.

Working Dads and Pete's Psyche
I saw Coach Neuheisel’s speech on the posted YouTube video and I agree with the 90% of Pac-10 head coaches.
I work very hard to take care of my family (three kids – 3 to 13 years old). Often, I am at work at night, on weekends, and during holidays.
As a dad, you try to make up for absences in your kids’ daily routines by doing special things that, perhaps, other dads can’t or won’t do.
Any football head coach competing at the Pac-10 level is undoubtably sacrificing family time. So the question is then, what kind of person would deny another man the opportunity be a good and loving father?
This gets to the psyche of Pete Carroll. It is, and always will be, all about him. He will break rules, cheat, lie, and manipulate others just to win. This is well documented by Bruins Nation and most recently confirmed by Pete’s reaction to Sanchez leaving USC.
I believe he is a classic case of narcissistic personality disorder. (Look up the DSM- IV criteria)
You mean
just because the guy’s own personal website referred to himself as a “humanitarian” he’s also a narcissist? (sarcasm intended)
(I—gag—just checked his website and that “humanitarian” business appears to be gone. His agent probably told him to take it down, over Petey’s objection, because it was a ‘bit too much’).
I thought the fact that his "charity" website
is nothing but pictures of him, quotes from him, and a listing of his good deeds sealed the deal that he is a narcissist of the highest order.

I have a solution!
Do what Cheatie Petie does. Just hire the kids. Make them special teams walk-on coaches. That will take care of everything.
If only we could find an array of thugs to have on the sidelines.
LOLWUT
I don’t know what is worse: that Petey is anti-children (why do you hate children Petey?) or that this rule exists in the first place. Rules exist for a reason even if those reasons are asinine, and I would LOVE to hear the reasoning behind this one.
You've seen his son
I guess this is Cheatey’s way of distancing himself from his moron offspring while being able to tell him, “It wasn’t me, it was the Pac-10’s decision.”

Need you ask?
Cheatey Petey is saying no so that he can say yes in the future and try to make people believe that it was his idea!!!
He did the same thing with the home uniforms deal for the rivalry game.
The man is a self-indulgent narcissistic cheater and he said no out of spite because he wants to be “the man” in the Pac-10. Oh how sweet will the downfall be.
But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.
Oh yeah. Totally agree.
After which the Times will fall all over themselves to fawn on him for his groundbreaking idea.

The boys
The Neu kids have certainly been a presence at spring practice. It’s nice to see that they are able to spend some time with their dad when he’s at work.
Family
Apparently, the “Trojan family” is more imprtant that your real family!
a cause worth fighting for
I applaud CRN for wanting this rule to change and for fighting for something positive not only for UCLA but the Pac-10. With today’s college football most all the attention is put on recruiting and potential rules violation (not with UCLA, just in general), it is refreshing to hear a story of something positive off the field. I really hope the one coach takes back his position and allows coaches kids to be on the sideline.
CRN should just rename his kids.
Suge Knight, Lloyd Lake, Snoop thug have all roamed the sidelines. Or, perhaps he should just get each son certified as sports agents?
We’re just not thinking outside the box enough. This is something we can learn from that wonderful humanitarian Cheat Carroll. He clearly does a great job of thinking outside the box when it comes to getting around limiting rules.

the oldest boy plays at loyola
im not sure if he’s starting, and at what level he’s playing, but I know he’s a QB
O.A.
Yeah, his oldest is at Loyola
He doesn’t have an overly strong arm, but he’s smart and accurate. He started for the JV team last year as a sophomore and will compete for the starting varsity job this summer.

That'd be fun
to have another Neuheisel on the team :)
Petey is a pr*ck.
I’m sure he didn’t do it ‘cause he doesn’t like kids rather it was to spite Coach Rick. If Erickson or Stoops brought this up Petey would’ve voted. He’s just being a douche.
Liability Avoidance?
Assuming the ban disallows anybody under the age of 18 (not just the coaches’ children) standing on the sideline during a game, my guess is that the rule exists to avoid liability and bad press should a minority-aged person get injured. I would also speculate that even if the coaches were to vote unanimously to overturn this rule, the PAC-10 would not repeal it. Might they allow an exception for coaches’ children? Possibly, if the proper release forms were submitted. But why would granting such an exception require a unanimous vote of the head football coaches? And if their vote held any standing whatsoever, surely a 9-1 vote should signal a sufficient mandate to carry the measure.
On Cheatie Petie's sideline,
all those guys have releases signed by their probation officers, so it’s all good.

Point of clarification
Fox made me spill my coffee.
LOL!!
I just spilled my coffee reading that. I am surprised more people don’t call him Cheat Carroll. Abbreviated that’s CC, Maybe a certain website across town was thinking the same thing when they made the site.
You guys don't get it
This is just Cheatie being Cheatie. See, even he is sick of his loser son running around the sidelines embarrassing Cal Southern and the Cheatie family. This is all an elaborate scheme to get rid of his son without having to go through the indignity of firing him. By banning offspring from the sideline, Cheatie can get rid of this:
Just a question
How old was Ricky Rosas when he started at U$C*?
I think it is great that they gave this kid a chance to do what he does but don’t you think it’s hypocrisy to say “It’s okay when we do it but not okay when you do it.” Typical.
Hypocrisy Petey, pure hypocrisy.
Pure Hate
Don’t really hate people but he is one of them. None of what he does is genuine except to serve his selfish purposes.
