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)

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.

Perhaps it isn’t fair to judge since it is a completely different sport, but I remember in the 2002 World Series where the Giants choked like dogs against the Angels (couldn’t help myself), Dusty Baker’s 4 year old son almost got creamed when he ran out to retrieve a bat while a play was still going on. I would agree with a rule that children under a certain age shouldn’t be allowed on the field since it makes it difficult for a coach to watch a young child. But since CRN’s kids are all older, I don’t see any problem with them wanting to be on the sideline. I’m going to assume they realize that walking onto the actual playing field while the game is happening. isn’t a great idea.

Apparently, the “Trojan family” is more imprtant that your real family!

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.

in the bunch?

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.

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.

Some of those guys are 15. They aren’t banned….

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.

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:

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.

Don’t really hate people but he is one of them. None of what he does is genuine except to serve his selfish purposes.
