was anyone here really satified with the status quo on any level of this football program? whatever it takes…
Not me! Build FAU a true D1 level program Coach P! And let none of us forget, we are in CUSA now not the Belt with a home game on national TV vs. the hated Kitties in Owlcatraz!

I am not Sean (people on here can attest to that) but I do know him. Pelini hasn't just lied/been shady to him, though. From what I hear, he made plenty of enemies in Nebraska and that trend has continued here. He's just a shady character, and we at FAU are not used to that. Is winning going to be worth it when we have a scumbag coach lying to recruits, the media and anyone else he feels like? Just remember all of this when it all hits the fan at some point.
I'm not advocating any of the things you are accusing people of, but perhaps the problem with the program the last few years under Schnellenberger was that everyone involved was just too nice. College football is a cut-throat business. If you aren't doing what everyone else is doing, then you are going to get killed. If you think Pelini is a scumbag, then you probably aren't a fan of very many coaches these days.

But right now the only thing he's done wrong that I can see is tell us we couldn't roast the opposing mascot at the Fall bonfire. Hopefully he's not doing a bunch of shady stuff because that'll just bring us more notoriety and we need a break from being kicked in the ribs right now.

And, Silver_Bullet32, it wasn't the fact Sean was "kicked to the curb" that has me honked off like a goose. It was the fact he was lied to. I'm sure, like most employees, he expected to probably lose his job when Pelini came in. When he didn't, I bet he was happy, but then to be lied to on two occasions (being told he was being kept on, after initially being told he was going to be let go, and then being told he was being replaced by someone to also do recruiting), was just a kick in the cojones.
Look, maybe I'm just old school and wanted this program to remain low-key and relatively clean, but I think those days might be over.
