Bo Pelini bashes Nebraska AD in front of players

Bo Pelini was introduced as Youngstown State's new coach Wednesday, but his departure from Nebraska continues to overshadow his Ohio homecoming.

According to a report in the Omaha World-Herald, Pelini lashed out at Nebraska athletic director Shawn Eichorst during a meeting with Huskers players that was held at a high school in Lincoln on Dec. 2, two days after he was fired as coach. The World-Herald obtained an audio recording of Pelini's address to the players, in which the coach used profane terms to describe Eichorst.

"A guy like him, who has no integrity, he doesn't even understand what a core value is," Pelini said, according to the contents of the tape. "He hasn't understood it from the day he got here. I saw it when I first met with the guy. To have core values means you have to be about something, you have to represent something that is important to you. He's a f------ lawyer who makes policies. That's all he's done since he's been here: hire people and make policies to cover his own ass."

Pelini, in the tape, told players he had no relationship with Eichorst and received no support from him. Players lashed out at Eichorst on social media after Pelini's firing. Pelini was 67-27 in seven seasons and won nine or more games in each season.

"Look who he circles himself with," Pelini said of Eichorst. "Look at his team of people. C'mon, man. I'd rather f------ work at McDonald's than work with some of those guys. Not that there's anything bad about working at McDonald's."
