Well, that will bring out the holier-than-thou voices.

In my opinion:
Bo Pelini is certainly a really good coach and really good defensive coordinator.  His players love him and his results are there for all to see.  But I can't take anyone seriously who does not have doubts about Bo as a head coach.  Bo is immature, petulant, and throws temper tantrums like a 6 year old.  He berates his assistant coaches with spit flying out of his mouth.  His sideline appearance looks more like the coaches in our local peewee league, and much more importantly, his sideline behaviour and decorum wouldn't be tolerated in that same league.  It would be pretty silly to say that Bo Pelini knows how to lose a game with dignity and class...just listen to virtually any post-game presser after a loss.  He does not conduct himself in a manner that I would care for in the head coach at the University of Nebraska. (key word being "I"...just my opinion.)  But in keeping with the "just win baby" philosophy, none of that will matter if he wins
 a lot of football games.  Since November 23, 2001, Nebraska has been, and still is, a team that can't beat anyone any good.  We have been worse, never better, than that.  And we have made zero progress towards being anything different than that this year and Coach has made little progress in learning how to be a head coach. (hey, no unsportsmanlike conduct penalties yet...that counts for something!)
