Great football coaches have been known to go berzerk every so often on the sidelines...remember situaltions involving Charlie Bauman, a camera man, and a set of first down markers, etc.?

Coaches yell. We all know that. Bo does it more than necessary. This isn't the NFL.

..and what is the difference? You see a lack of class and I see a defensively-wired coach trying to inject some fire in a dormant program.

You didnt answer the question either...

Also, I'm not very interested in what Bo says "out of the fire" after a montage is compiled and thrown on YouTube...however:
The Big 12 supervisor of officials, Walt Anderson, has received no complaints about Pelini's conduct from any referee or official, spokesman Bob Burda said.

Bo Freaking Pelini!!!

Okay, here I am, a Husker fan through and through. I've posted here before, cause I love the fandom of OSU - it bears a striking resemblence to us here in Nebraska. You guys love your team, as we do as well.

That being said....

Thanks to OSU for the guy who became our head coach. I could care less of all the yelling and screaming he's done, or how it looks. It's what was NEEDED.

A group of players earned their BlackShirts last week. EARNED. They weren't given, they earned them...that hasn't been here since the days of Doc Tom, a pride in what the Shirts represent.

Coach Pelini is a class guy, will always be. He loves the players, and he loves the game. But most of all, he loves the fans here, and he loves to win. Which is what we're accustomed to here in Nebraska.

The last 4 years of Callahan were so surreal. I can't even explain it. But all I know is that nobody expected him to get THIS particular group of misfits to where they are right now....on the verge of going to a Gator Bowl (possibly).

We expect nothing but great things from him.

GO BIG RED!!!

Father of Neb. football coach dies at 85



Posted: December 24, 2008


OMAHA, Neb. (AP) -- The father of Nebraska football coach Bo Pelini and defensive coordinator Carl Pelini has died.
Anthony Pelini died Tuesday night at a hospital in Akron, Ohio, after an extended illness. He was 85.

"Our entire family would like to thank Nebraska fans everywhere for the words of sympathy we have received," Bo and Carl Pelini said Wednesday in a joint statement. "We are very appreciative of all of the thoughts and prayers." Anthony Pelini was born Jan. 23, 1923, in Youngstown, Ohio.
He served in the U.S. Army in World War II, receiving a Purple Heart and a Meritorious Service Medal.
He attended Ohio State University and worked for Kraft Foods and A.H. Robins pharmaceutical company, from which he retired in 1991.
In addition to his sons Bo and Carl, Anthony Pelini was survived by three daughters, three more sons and 26 grandchildren, along with two sisters and brother.
He was preceded in death by his wife of 46 years, Mary Catherine, and two sisters.
Funeral services will be held Saturday morning in Youngstown, Ohio.

Nebraska extends Pelini's deal

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) -- Nebraska has rewarded second-year football coach Bo Pelini for the strides he's already made in returning the Cornhuskers to national prominence.

Pelini signed a contract extension on Monday that would keep him at Nebraska through the 2013 season and boosts his base annual salary to $1.85 million.

In announcing the deal, athletic director Tom Osborne praised the quick progress the team has made under Pelini.

The Huskers finished the season with a 9-4 record and tied for first in the Big 12 North. Nebraska beat Clemson 26-21 in the Gator Bowl on New Year's Day.

"We are confident he has our program moving in the right direction," Osborne said.

Pelini, for his part, appears committed to keeping that momentum going for the foreseeable future.

"As I said when I was hired," Pelini said Monday, "it is an honor to be here at Nebraska as the head coach. I hope to be in this position for a long time and help get this program back to the top of college football."

When Pelini was hired in December 2007, his five-year contract called for a salary of $1.1 million a year. The pay raise announced Monday makes him the sixth-highest-paid coach in the Big 12 and puts his base salary ahead of his predecessor, Bill Callahan, who's four-year tenure was marked by the most embarrassing losses at a football program once among the mightiest in the nation.

Pelini learning on the job in second year at Nebraska
By Terry Douglass
[email protected]
Published: Tuesday, July 28, 2009


IRVING, Texas ? Bo Pelini?s rookie season as Nebraska?s head coach was apparently eye-opening and yet reaffirming all at the same time.

After leading the Cornhuskers to a 9-4 record and a Gator Bowl in 2008, Pelini seems more confident than ever that his core coaching philosophies are solid as a rock. At the same time, the 42-year-old native of Youngstown, Ohio, admits his debut season had moments of individual growth.

?Anytime you?re in a new position, there are some things that are going to be a little bit different,? Pelini said Monday during Big 12 Conference preseason media days. ?There are always some challenges that go along with that, but I?m the same person I was a year go.?

Well, maybe not exactly the same.

?I believe I?ve grown,? Pelini said. ?I?ve learned a lot from some good things that we did and some bad things that I did.

?I learned from my mistakes. I think I?m more prepared this year to handle my job and hopefully have that much more success as I move along.?

Growth is a frequent topic for Pelini. He not only demands it from himself, but from his players as well.

?I don?t put a lot of stock into first year, second year ? that type of thing,? Pelini said. ?I think you?d better grow on a daily, weekly, yearly basis or you?re going to get passed by.?

Nebraska isn't back just yet, but Pelini has Huskers on right track

It was the morning after, and Nebraska assistant coach Mike Ekeler wanted to gauge the players' mindset. He asked Cody Glenn what the linebacker had been thinking during the previous day's loss to Virginia Tech, how he'd felt when it was over, what lessons he could drawn for the future.

The player told the assistant coach about an epiphany. A year earlier, Glenn said, the Huskers would have known going in they were headed for a thrashing. But this time, he said, "we thought we had a shot." It got better. Sometime in the first quarter, Glenn recognized, "Hey, we can play with these guys." By midway through the second half, he knew: "We can beat these guys."

Ekeler listened to Glenn depict the Huskers evolving like the Little Engine That Could (ultimately, they couldn't; a late rally fell short and the Hokies won 35-30), and had an epiphany of his own. He homed in on Glenn's newly discovered confidence and optimism and realized: "Oh, boy. We've got a lot of work to do."

That was a year ago. If preseason rankings and predictions mean anything, a lot of work has been done. Media are ranking the Huskers near the bottom of various top 25s and projecting them to win the Big 12 North. Second-year coach Bo Pelini and his staff seem to have Nebraska on the right track. But listening to Pelini, it's clear there's still plenty left to do -- and examining a linebacker's exuberance after a tough loss might be as good a way as any to start explaining why.
