Thanks for your opinion of our head coach, David.  I couldn't agree more
 with what you posted. I was thinking I was the only one who was bothered by
 his boorish behavior.  When I saw Pelini chewing Cottons arse after the
 tripping call, I asked my wife:  "Why is he berating Barney?  He didn't trip
 anyone; heck, he wasn't even on the field!"  I don't mind coaches chewing on
 a player after a dumb play or an official after a bad call but there is no
 place in business (football is a business) for berating your subordinates.
 Barney and the rest of the Assistant Coaches aren't going to put up with
 this for long.  In my opinion, he is a great defensive coach but he is a
 jerk, and behaves like two of his Ohio colleagues, the late Woody Hayes and
 Bo Schembeckler.  Pelini needs to be sent to "Charm School" even though it
 probably wouldn't do much good.  
 
 I have a funny story about Management Charm School.  I had a boss (Geno) who
 was a total autocratic jerk.  After hearing continuous complaints, the Chief
 Engineer told Geno that if he didn't go to Charm School he would be sent
 back to the assembly plant where he came from.  Two weeks later he returned
 as meek as a mouse.  Turns out the instructor (a Jewish gentleman) flunked
 him and threw him out of the class after Geno stated that what Ford needed
 were more "Adolf Hitlers".  A short time later Geno realized his management
 style did not fit the professional environment he was in and returned to the
 plant.  My point is; mature adults (Pelini) rarely change their behavior.
 My guess is he eventually ends up back in the Pro's as a Defensive
 Coordinator.

 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!)
