Yeah, that's definitely more politicky than I think football could ever be, unless you're talking about athletic directors... Anyway, part of that is definitely at work in Nebraska, even with Pelini, but it's sort of... I don't know, fucked up and probably not quite what you're talking about. Pelini basically has to say that he will give his children's lives for the football program, that he has no personal ambition other than vaulting Nebraska to a national championship, that he is essentially the servant of the people in this endeavor. And I'm not sure how much authority he really has, because he answers to Osborne, who is like God and who definitely listens to people's bitching and moaning, and if Osborne doesn't think he's coaching to satisfaction he will be fired. We definitely want Pelini to be a "regular guy", just like any other Nebraskan, not some NFL elitist-outsider like Callahan, but I honestly feel like the people have more authority over Pelini than the other way around.

No, you're fine. That's just me being stubborn.
