If you are looking for college football coaches that are "passionate" on the sideline, watch Les Miles and Randy Edsall.  Maybe some of Bo's behavior comes from working under Les Miles.

>From reports, it seems that Pelini's apology struck the right chords.
I think that both Perlman and Pelini said things that needed to be
said.  This was a matter that needed addressing, but it shouldn't
become continute as an issue as long as the problem doesn't continue.
There is a great upside to Pelini's passion, but he cannot continue
to act out as he did Saturday.  

Pelini said that it won't happen again, but all of us who have persistent
bad habits of behavior know how difficult it can be to change them.  I
hope Pelini is successful at better channeling his passion, but I don't
think it will be easy.
