[Husker] Pelini Bashing

[David Strong]

Pelini Bashing? Just hold on a minute.

Coach is doing a good job this year.  A really good job.  He took over as awful team, particularly on defense, and more than that, he took over a program in shambles.  The team is better this year and anyone can see that except for those who's expectations were skewed to begin with.  The team plays with far more heart and passion than last year and Coach is getting as much from them as he can.  Yes, the Missouri game was awful and the Oklahoma game was unspeakable, but that's more a testament to where we were and how far we have to go...how huge a job Coach has on his hands.  He's doing that job, pretty well I think, but it's a long process.  The learning process is a two way street.  BP has got some things to learn about being a head coach and about leadership.  The most evident thing is he needs to control his temper and behavior.  Why are people so riled when someone says it out loud?  It's the truth and it's certainly been on display for all to see.  And mentioning it constitutes "Bashing"?  Nonsense. He may have a crazy side, but Coach seems to possess leadership skills that are the most important.  From what I read, his players love him and will run through a wall for him.  Those are the kind of skills that are hard to learn if you don't have them, and Coach does have them, or seems to because you can see it in the way the team plays and their attitude on the field.  

Coach...keep your non-crazy side up and keep doing what you are doing.  You've got us headed in the right direction and we'll give you the time you need to see if the road you take is the right one.

Dave
