If I were a college coach and my son wanted to be on the team I wouldn't have any problem taking him, regardless of his abilities. (Football did this with Spurrier, Scott) Maybe he's on the team to gain coaching experience and be another outstanding coach like his dad.
If Berson is doing all this to silence all the critics... according to your post, it didn't. I think Berson, like all coaches in pro, college, high school, and club, is always dealing with critics and a move strictly to silence critics would be a waste of his time.
