And I'm not sure if my last post was missed or not, so I will ask again- if Pelini is such a low character guy (and a bad coach as you claim) then why is he on everyone's short list when a major head coaching job opens up?

This guy's issues have issues.  He is paranoid and has an inferiority complex and that is just for starters.  Everyone is an adversary.  He is a bully, he dislikes and disrespects his own fans, and is very immature.  Example...go back and revisit his "apology" for is A&M behavior.  Aye caramba.  But lets keep it recent because it gets too bogged down.  After the Ohio State game last year, probably his biggest, most exciting win in his Husker career, in the post game presser he decides he's is going to chastise a newspaper reporter in front of the national media and instead comes off like a sullen child.  Then retreats, as all bullies are wont to do, when the reporter shows no sign of backing down.  More recent...his bowl game at the en
> d of last year.  He is blatantly rude to the sideline reporter trying to do the "close of half" interview.  (this interview is in the tv contract, he knows it is coming, he is upset that his team just got burned on a long pass.  Of course he is...and he handled it so well.)  In the fourth quarter he puts on his Crazy Bo-face, a mini-meltdown by his standards.  Worse than either of these is our head coach standing in front of the national media at the post-game and saying how even though we lost (by 17 points) he thinks we are the better team.
> That is a no-no for a head coach.  He can say that to his team, he can say it back in Lincoln to the local media, he can say it later to boosters and fans, but he can't say it to the national media right after the game.  Very unsportsmanlike.  Most recently, he decided that the opening day of the conference media days was a great opportunity to rag on his own fans.  Go back and read his comments in the entirety, nothing out of context, these are not complimentary remarks. Dude needs some serious couch time.
