Pelini's behavior

[caveman99]

His childish behavior is getting old. His job is to get his team ready to play and to win. When his team stinks up the joint he needs to answer the questions with professionalism.

So far he is getting a pass. However his act is getting old. He thinks his gruff demeanor is that of that coach that cares. Where in fact it's an act of a coach that doesn't know how to handle criticism.

Answer the questions Bo. "What do you think. Next question!" is not an answer.

Don't discount the most loyal fan base in America Bo. We have earned the right to be critical and we will be critical until you do your job and do it to the standards of NU Football.

Okay, so your opinion is wrong. We're happy that you now realize what we've know for a long time.

Seriously dude, what is with you and calling opinions wrong or right? For christ sake, you can disagree with an opinion. You can offer a different opinion. You can even try to persuade somebody of your opinion.

However, you can not have an opinion that is right or wrong the way you use it. Only facts can be considered such. Basic 8th grade education would teach you this.

Not trying to be an asshat here, but this has been going on for a while now and wanted to say something.

I don't know if that was meant for me or not, but I just thought the video was funny.

The video is awesomly funny but he is WRONG

I am really glad YOU think so Vince.

Just doing what I always do and do best and that's telling it like it is. Some day I might add an opinion or two. Until that time, I'll continue to tell it like it is.

Gill wouldn't be yelling at refs like this and would be more cordial to the media.

That is because Gill is an honorable and decent man of integrity and is mature enough to see the big picture. Men like Gill are rare --- but are certainly a breath of fresh air when you see them or are around them. Integrity, class, and good sportsmanship are becoming increasingly rare these days in sports. Since the advent of the internet, decency and decorum, and honorable interchange have taken a back seat to ranting and rudeness on the behalf of fans.

Both fans and coaches alike should model their behavior off of people like Turner Gill. Ron Brown is yet another example of fine character --- another who handles situations well and with integrity and reasonableness. These are the types you'd like to see the youth in America pattern their conduct after.

As for Bo.... he is a fine X's and O's guy, he knows the game well, he is a motivator of his players. But.... Bo has not displayed the character/integrity/class and/or sportsmanship and respect for others that guys like Gill and Brown have. Maybe he will mature. Grow up some. Grow into being more than just a coach but a leader and a fine representative for the university. I hope so. He certainly has a fine model to draw from in Tom Osborne --- who, like Gill and Brown, is a man worthy of respect.

Thank you. Trust me, I have not always liked/voted for every president that has been in office since I've been alive, but I have always rallied behind them and appreciated the good that they might have done. I feel the same way with Coach Pelini and will continue to support him as long as he is Nebraska's coach, but the behavior is ridiculous. Yeah, I've heard the "passion" and "fire" arguments and I know that people with those qualities are needed on every football coaching staff....but not like this, and not with the head coach.

The head coach is the administrator, the CEO, the face. He doesn't pick and choose when he is the face; he is the face when he is coaching a game, talking to refs, talking to the media, talking to recruits, talking to civic organizations, etc. When Coach Pelini lets his temper get the best of him, he looks like a spoiled kid, a jerk, and a bully...the types of people that I don't want to be associated with. He lacks what we like to call "tact". It is embarassing.

Living in a place with virtually zero other Husker fans, I am constantly forced to defend this behavior to outsiders who praise his defensive genius, but think he acts like a bigger baby than Steve Spurrier (and, I mean, at least Spurrier is witty). Also, you have to be kidding yourself if you think that refs don't talk amongst each other and have it out for Coach Pelini as soon as he takes the field. Unless Coach makes some drastic personal changes, calls will go against Nebraska for the remainder of his career.

I see Coach Pelini as a Will Muschamp kinda guy, lots of fire, lots of pep, lots of motivation and would love for him to be the DC, but I think he needs to spend some time in charm school before he can ever be a legitamite, long-term HC.. For the record too, this comes from a guy who still would have preferred Gill after the Kansas victory last year, after the Clemson victory, as well as after the moral victory in Blacksburg. Let the venom-spewing resume.

P.S. If we win the National Championship next year, I'll be as happy as anyone else and praise Coach Pelini's genius, but I'll still have a problem with the behavior.

Sweet merciful Jesus.

That loss to Texas Tech was an entire team out of sync, making stupid mistakes, failing to adapt or react, and looking like it had visibly surrendered even when the game was still in reach.

Know who you blame for a game like that? The head coach. And you'd be right. Doesn't have a damn thing to do with being a fan or jumping on and off bandwagons. It's football 101.

So yes, Sherlocks, if Nebraska was 6 - O we wouldn't be complaining about this. Because we wouldn't have had the chance to see how the fiery head coach deals with adversity, either.

What happens next? Guess we'll have to see. Could go any number of ways. Maybe we'll all look back at this game and laugh some day.

But the notion that you can express disappointment in everyone BUT Bo Pelini is ludicrous.

These threads are asinine...

You people will not be happy no matter what he does.

If he gets upset, he's Woody Hayes.

So, do you want him to sit there, and take it, so you guys can call him Callahan??

My "Secondguessr detector" is going crazy right now.

Leave the man alone. He is not and never will be: Woody Hayes, Tom Osbourne of Turner Gill. He is his own man and proud of it.

I remember, back in the day, when everyone said "Why can't our coach be more colorfaul, Like Barry Switzer?" Not everybody likes vanilla, which is why Baskins-Robbins offers 31 flavors.

I also agree with a previous post that said, "If we wer 7-0, there would be mo complains about coaching and/or demeanor.

Give this guy a chance, instant gratification be damned.

Bo ain't woody.

but IMO he's got some woody in him. he has that same quick temper. he goes from zero to pissed pretty damn fast, whether it's a player, a coach or an official. woody was pretty uncompromising. not a lot of give in him regarding football. like woody, I suspect he's a bit different with family and friends.

Bo's only in his second season, he has a lot to learn about this hc stuff. he may never get real good at rubbing bellies with the media, the fans OR the donors. obviously not his style.

I guess I wonder what folks expected. this IS the guy that screamed at an elderly Snyder in front of God and country. Honestly. Who DIDN"T know he has a quick temper?

bo is what he is. you get what you see. warts, rants and all.

That's one of the things I like about him. you know what you are getting. he hasn't a phoney bone in him.

Like woody, folks will adjust to him some, he will adjust a little too.

a little. but just like woody, the personna will never change enough for some folks.

again JMO.

when you get tired of him. pack his bags and send his a$$ to ames.

I for one, would welcome him.

Actually I don't think an anger management class is in order as much as a leadership course. In real life we are never guaranteed fairness and a level playing field. It just does not happen for any of us. The true measure of anyone in a leadership position is how he or she reacts to adverse conditions. In those situations those under him or her react in a similar manner. While in one way we may be comparing apples to oranges but in this case we really are not. I am sure that as Bo progresses in his career that we will see a more controlled rage as he also preaches to his players to do. Control the emotions and channel them into something constructive. As of now we are seeing a team following their coach's lead and drawing a lot of unwise penalties. Having some pencil necked geek asking you stupid questions after a disheartining loss is not what any of us would want to do. But I also have people working for me and I do the dirty work and crappy jobs to serve as an example. I sure don't make 1.8 million a year doing it. I'm sure TO will have or has had another talk with Bo. TO was and is a leader and I'm sure it's only a matter of time before he rubs off on Bo........ I hope.
