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

[Lawson, Scott R]

I think this nonsense all started when the original poster (who happens to have serious personal problems with Pelini but I'm quite sure has  ever even met the guy) publicly questioned Pelinis character and compared his to the previous coaches'. I think Solich is definitely a man of character but until Pelini gets drugged and left for dead at
some intersection I'm calling BS on the original poster's comparison. I've seen/heard of ZERO similar incidents involving Pelini. So, yeah he might be a bully on the sidelines and in the interview room but don't pump up the other guys' character for emphasis.

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.

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.

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.
