Nope, he stil has it, otherwise he would have been fired.

Yes, I do.

1.  He's a better coach than the last two coaches at Nebraska.
2.  He's got more character than his predecessor, possibly the last two
    coaches at Nebraska.

So, if you want to fire Pelini, who would you want as his replacement?  Heck,
Urban Meyer could probably be pried from Ohio State for enough megabucks!
He might pass your test #1, would he pass your test #2?
