Let’s take a look his character (flaws).
He’s arrogant, and not in a good way. Look at this quote from him: “I believe in that system, and I wasn't going to alter it for anything.” That’s a my way or the highway attitude.
A couple of weeks ago, he insulted the Husker faithful by saying he was disappointed with the "dead" atmosphere at Memorial Stadium for the Kansas game. I’m sure not too many fans, who are probably more dedicated to that football team than they are to their families, didn’t take too kindly to those words.
Then, this past Saturday night against Texas A&M, he seemed to be in a state of psychotic behavior. He constantly chewed on the officials ears for penalties and calls that didn’t go his way, and then he ripped into his quarterback, which was fortunately caught on national television.
Rumors were swirling the day after the loss to A&M that quarterback Taylor Martinez had quit the program. Can you blame him?
I’m no psychotherapist, but it doesn’t take one to see that Pelini’s actions are dangerous to his school, to his team and to himself. The chancellor of Nebraska, Harvey Perlman, came out the day after the game and said that Pelini's verbal assault of officials during Saturday's game at Texas A&M did not reflect well on the university or the football program.
"I think it was very unfortunate," Perlman said, "and I think it's something we'll have to address with Bo.”
Hmmm. When the guy at the top notices your behavior and comments to the press about it, you know this can’t turn out well.
As a fan of Big 12 sports, I say good riddance to Nebraska and its arrogant coach, football team and fan base. Let them suffer in oblivion in the Big 10. The new Big 12 Conference will be better and stronger without clowns like Pelini.
