[Husker] Pelini is not better than both of the last 2 coaches,

[Andrew Smith]

I'm neither giving him a pass nor sympathy but I believe it's quite 
possible that he was drugged as he claims.

As far as I know, there have been no incidents before or since where 
Solich was found to be DUI (or even drunk in public).  And to go from no 
incidents to not just DUI but completely passed out, seems quite extreme 
- extreme enough that it seems suspicious and therefore makes the GHB 
claim more plausible.

So until evidence to the contrary appears, I'm giving Solich the benefit 
of the doubt.

I too wished Solich was treated better, but speaking of character, do 
listers just give him a mulligan regarding his being passed out drunk in 
a running vehicle? That's kind of a big deal if you ask me, whether he 
was "poisoned" or not as some have suggested. I would have never even 
thought about this again if someone didn't bring up Pelini's "character" 
when making comparisons to previous coaches.

On a personal level, that is a lot harder. From what I have read, there 
were not a lot of ETOH concerns while he was at NU. Drugged or not, I 
can give the guy a pass on the DUI. Heck he was coming off losing the NU 
job, and he has not had any bad press since. Losing a job like NU could 
drive a guy to drink, and assuming the worse case scenario I can give a 
guy one bad decision.

If he had three margaritas on an empty stomach, he wasn't passing that

in that state, and I certainly have no sympathy for him in this instance.
