Longtime Houston coach. Invented the Veer Offense that has propelled De La Salle HS into one of the most successful programs all time.

A Stanford subtext was UCLA’s use of the Veer with John Sciarra at QB which Stanford never figured out how to stop.

The veer (triple-option) offense is stopped cold if you have bad-ass linebackers who are disciplined and do not "free-lance" or improvise. Generally, one or more of the offensive linemen tend to giveaway or telegraph what the offense will do. But the key is a disciplined D-line and "hunter" style LBs. Consistently take away the pass and/or the run or the keeper, just a single option, and the veer is neutered. It's why you don't see it so much anymore.
