I understand the concern with hiring a coach with little or no 
prior
head coaching experience, but when all the accolades seem to come 
from
successful coaches who have worked with the guy I really can't 
see why
people would be so worried about this hire. Obviously no one who 
has
worked with him is going to criticize the guy before he starts 
his first
head job, but as hard as it is for some folks on this list to 
admit, the
other coaches who are heaping the praise on Pelini know a heckuva 
lot
more about what it takes to succeed in coaching.

     I am not going to disagree with you on whether coaches know 
coaching and what it takes to succeed moreso than someone who has 
never been in coaching.  That is a given.  But I also do know the 
coaching fraternity is a lot like a good ole boys club.  Rarely 
are you ever going to hear one coach criticize another.  The only 
time you might hear this is if a coach believes he has been 
wronged by another coach.  But, generally they stick up for each 
other.  I don't see how anyone could possibly know what kind of 
Head Coach Pelini will be.  Because he has never been one no one 
has anything to go on.  There is no track record.  I am not 
against Pelini and am not going to unduly and hopefully not 
unfairly criticize him.  But, I haven't seen anything yet to 
completely hop on the bandwagon either.  



Sincerely,

Bob Beach
