I think I understand what you mean by strategies of condescension. I think that's a bit more applicable to politics than football, because good coaches do spent like 24/7 with the team, but yeah. I don't think that's what Pelini does. Of course, I'm biased, but I don't get that vibe from him. Callahan, on the other hand... boy.
