What is wrong with America? Can a coach not yell at a player anymore? Kansas ran off their best coach in school history because he yelled at the kids. Texas Tech ran off their best coach in school history because he hurt the little babies feelings. Those two teams are full of the suck this year.
Now Nebraska is winning more than they have for 8 years, and they want to complain that their coach is yelling too much. Give me a break!

Yelling at players and trying to motivate guys is different than having a game long meltdown on national tv

So what. The guy has resurrected the Nebraska program (albeit in the terrible Big 12 North). Last year they had Texas beat in the Big 12 title game if not for the first ever instant replay review of the game clock. This year they are set to go back to the Big 12 title game. If he had a bad night, a small slap on the wrist should be enough. People calling for his job, and the school chancellor commenting publically is ridiculous.

No it's not. The behavior of the Pelini brothers was out of control. The Chancellor saying he was dissapointed with his behavior and would talk to him about it is about as mild as it gets and completely appropriate

Tom Osborne won 83% of his games at NU. I guarantee you he never acted like a three year old on the sidelines. I don't get why people believe that a coach has to throw temper fits and act like a jackass to be effective (I thought some of Saban's antics were a bit over-the-top). Bo looked ridiculous, and it is well within the chancellor's right to call him on it. After all, Bo works for the chancellor, not the other way around.

Then hire the cheerleader coach. Maybe she'll give every player a hug. They'll never win a game, but after the game they can all have ice cream parties.

So you're saying the only way for a coach to be a winner is to become an unhinged loon? Pelini's behavior was absolutely embarrassing. He's going to do that to the wrong player and is going to get jacked.

Well, they lost the game, so clearly having a public meltdown was incredibly effective
There's a difference between being hardass and having high expectations for your players and being completely batshit crazy and losing your mind. One is appropriate behavior and the other isn't

You know, we just as soon start playing touch football. Hell its a violent game and reporters have to report on him poking the player in the collarbone or Saban slapping one of his players on the arse altittle to hard. Damn its ridiculous! I understand the chancellors concern on the yelling at officials, but if people think that today's coaches are rough players, they couldn't made it even 10-15 yrs ago.No wonder America is becoming pussified.

I really don't recall coaches acting this way 10-15 years ago. There's a difference between intense and crazy. The Pelinis are crazy.

Like it or not a coach at a major program is very much a public figure and often the highest paid employee associated with that university. Dealing image and perception is part of the territory, it's not just x's and o's.
Pelini came across as a lunatic on national TV. I played college football (not at a big school), I understand that what he did is not really that big a deal on its face, but you just can't act like that on that stage.
FWIW i hope it costs him his job because I freakin hate Nebraska too.

Pelini seems to have Jim Haslett disease. Every time there's a call or flag you don't agree with, you can't go ballistic and call everybody in sight a motherfricker. Refs don't take kindly to that and it just looks bad on TV.
There's a way to be intense and hold your players accountable, and what they did on Saturday night wasn't it.

I'm from near Omaha (on the Iowa side). Growing up our local news was "Tonight's top story, Nebraska blows out Colorado, let's go live to Boulder." Then the story follows then as they go to commercial break "Also tonight a toddler was run over in the streets of Omaha or, huge drug bust or, multi-million dollar construction project that will benefit Omaha.........coming up after the break."
It's just pathetic how people prioritize. LSU fans care crazy but at least the news usually tells the actual important in life stuff first.
Then when Nebraska sucked for a couple of years their fans were absolutely ludicrous and poor losers and just annoying to be around.
They fired Frank Solich for not winning 10 games every year and they got what the deserved after treating him like crap.
Also, on a personal note, my dad was always a Nebraska fan and Nebraska games were always more important than anything I had to say growing up. Nebraska represents a lot of shitty things for me.
And I think Pelini is a raving lunatic, so yeah, that's my magnum opus on why I hate Nebraska in a nut shell. Anyone that isn't a Nebraska fan where I come from, HATES Nebraska because they are so over-bearing and shitty to be around.

I've spend a good amount of time in the area. I always enjoyed/was saddened when they would que the anti-domestic violence adds if the Huskers were losing.

The morning of the Texas game this year, I was listening to some radio version of Gameday with Ryan Rassillo (sp?) and they had audio of some Nebraska fan that lived somewhere on the east coast. He talked about how he and his family were not going to pay their bills that month so they could afford to travel to Lincoln to watch Nebraska kill Texas and get revenge for the game last year. I found it to be pretty funny that UT beat that arse after hearing that story.
