[Husker] Out Coached. Again.

[Lawson, Scott R]

Dave how many football coaches fit into your tidy little definition of "well adjusted"? And who says they HAVE to fit? As long as Tom Osborne thinks Pelini is "well adjusted" enough to lead the football team, then, assuming we all respect Osborne's judgment, that should be enough. That you seem to have personal issues with the guy is fine (and as mentioned provides countless hours of list entertainment) but it doesn't mean everyone who doesn't should have to defend themselves against your narrow definitions of how you feel he should carry himself.

And by the way, have you ever met Pelini?

This is interesting.  You have a PHD in Psychology.  You are credentialed in this field and wouldn't have mentioned it unless you felt it demonstrated that you have expertise in this area.  Agreed?  (I do not want to presume.) Also, I am going to presume (again correct me if I am wrong) that you have also observed Pelini in games, interviews, on and off field situations, etc that we all have over the last four years. (and in 2003 as well, he had some doozies even back then.)

So, I ask you...based on your observations and expertise of just what we all have seen and know about of Pelini...would you say that he has a "well-adjusted" personality?  "Well-adjusted", I believe that is an acceptable psychological term, yes?  "Well-adjusted" usually meaning something like " a mature personality able to control their emotions and deal with situations and problems without becoming defensive or anxious or aggressive."  If well-adjusted is not the right term, don't worry about it, I think you know what I mean.

Now I realize that this could get quite bogged down on definitions and/or run-around.  So please try to keep it simple and short...would you say Bo Pelini has a "well-adjusted" personality?

Thanks,
Dave
