Let me see if I have this right. Pelini is a bad person because he swears, gets emotional, and criticizes a former boss with whom he had a stormy relationship. Swearing and physicality are prominent features of Catholic, ethnic, working class culture in America. If you Mayflower descendants cannot tolerate such despicable behavior, I suggest you board the next plane and fly back to England. Be sure to arrive in time to have tea with the (expletive deleted) royal family.

It isn't bad at all.

Yep, I have to agree now that I've heard the recording. No where near as bad as what I thought it was going to be.

The media always will use the keywords and take it out of context to get headlines.

Coaches are supposed to the teachers, at least thats what they claim; shapers of character, molders of individuals, etc etc. Pellini failed as a teacher to his most important audience--his players. He could have taught them how to leave a bad situation with class and dignity. Instead he taught them exactly how not to. Here is what he could have said...."Its been a great run at Nebraska, Ive truly loved coaching you. Unfortunately the person who hired me is no longer my boss. And the current AD and I have not had the best relationship. This happens frequently and as you move on in your careers it might happen to you. Sometimes this means that you have to move on and thats what is happening with me. Im lucky, We have been successful here. I will coach somewhere else. It will likely be a good situation with an AD who wants me, and I have the money from my contract to fall back on. So shed no tears for me. One of the keys to life is how you handle bad situations. My advice to you is learn when to leave and leave with class and dignity. Sometimes you have to burn bridges to move forward, but the trick is knowing when and how to do so."
