    :shock:
    Wow. This is not good. I can't even imagine such a situation with Charlie Weis or Joe Paterno. Woody Hayes or Bobby Knight would have torn that parent into itsy-bitsy little pieces...

    Urban needs to sack up and launch that guy...

    It's not unprecedented, these Tennis Dad types. Mr. Leake, Mr. Lovecchio, Mr. Olsen, Mr. Henson (Drews Dad), as the article mentioned Josh Portis's Mom. I personally am not sure why a coach though would allow a parent on the field during practice. I understand that you want to have good relationships with parents and all, but they need to be behind the ropes.

    That situation could poison the chemistry of the entire team. I can't believe Meyer has allowed this to get to this point.

    Reminds one of the patron saint of stage door fathers, Todd Marinovich's father. How did that work out.

    Wake up, Urban. :shock:

    This sounds familiar... Sounds just like the Leake situation at Tennessee. Wouldn't that be ironic. Leake is in the driver's seat and there is another father trying to undermine his son's chances. What goes around...

    I don't wish anything bad on any program. However, that ahole Leake deserves this to happen to him. Florida does not deserve it but Leake does. Sic 'em Tebow! :twisted:
