College Football's 10 Worst Head Coaches for 2012: #1 Carl Pelini

Post

Yes, someone actually took the time to write this over at Athlon Sports:




1. Carl Pelini, FAU (First Year)

Considering FAU has watched its win total decline in each of the last four seasons, hiring Pelini to rebuild the program is a curious move. Pelini has no head coaching experience on the collegiate level and one has to wonder how much control he had over the defense at Nebraska despite the title of defensive coordinator the last four years. Pelini also has no ties to the Florida area, which is certainly a concern for the Owls in recruiting. Although he has yet to coach a game, it’s hard to find reasons to think Pelini will work out as FAU’s head coach.

Bottom line:

Pap and drivel. No facts, no substance.

Well, I've liked everything he's done up to this point, no doubt but the truth is we have yet to see him coach a game. He is a great recruiter, and hopefully surrounds himself with great coaches and we'll be just fine, we've got the talent.

Seriously?  This list includes first year coaches?  How incredibly dumb.  Not worth reading.

This is awesome!

Step one, save the link with a calendar reminder for January 1, 2013.

Step two, on Jan 1, 2013, honestly evaluate the season and the job Carl did.

Step three - three divergent paths:
a) If the author is dead on, congratulate the author by email.
b) If it is hard to tell so far (nominal results), let it go.
c) If the author is dead wrong, send an email to the author with quotes and letting him know that while you appreciate his opinion, you are looking forward to the article that includes a picture of him eating crow.

Other than that, I give this no thought whatsoever…

I love it. It's like bulletin board material before a game.

This will make Pelini want to win even more - Slap the naysayers in the face.

Norm Chow is also on the list. That is enough for me to dismiss it as ridiculous.
