From Yahoo sports......
Brian Theriot, the father of seldom-used reserve fullback Trevor Theriot, took it a bit further on Facebook over the weekend:
"The sad state of UCLA football," Theriot posted. "My gosh…..I have never seen more misuse of talent and a greater degree of offensive stagnancy on play calling and use of personnel….we have the players.
"UCLA under Coach Rick (Neuheisel)….is horrible. Wayne Moses the running back coach is horrible. The sets are Pop Warner in movement, motion, and slots. I mean a Pop Warner type offense that Tim Tebow would laugh at. UCLA is playing with great athletes but giving great athletes boys and girls club sets. Norm Chow and Wayne Moses are old school and gone. ..."
Theriot goes on to suggest he planned to show up at Monday's practice, "step out of the ‘parents’ section of the stands and coach the backfield" himself -- beginning with, shockingly, installing his seldom-used son as the starting fullback -- which would have been quite entertaining if UCLA held Monday practices, which it does not. Neuheisel was diplomatic in his response: "Everybody’s entitled to their opinion. That’s just a part of the deal." Everybody's entitled to their opinion, unless he happens to be a Bruin player criticizing his coaches online, in which case his Twitter feed will be discontinued immediately.

I'd care if it were anyone but Neuheisel.
Douchebags tend to find one another.

Maybe he didn't go too far. He happens to be right. Neuheisel is not someone I would want my kid playing for. Wonder if Theriot felt that way about him BEFORE his kid signed with UCLA?

I know he had issues at Washington, got in trouble for being in a Final Four pool and there was some bad blood. Still, stage parents over all are a very pathetic bunch, living through their kid's skin.

While I agree, I think this kid's father is a bit "off" and may have had visions of his kid being the next Bronko Nagurski. Many Pop Warner coaches feel they know more about how to coach than College and Pro coaches. It appears his father is one of those. I really do wnat to know if Brian Theriot had any reservations about his son playing at UCLA under Neuheisel BEFORE his kid didn't start?

Skippy can recruit and he can coach. Norm Chow knows offense, but you have to have players.

He seems like a stage parent to the third power...
