Bo Pelini was formally introduced as the new head football coach at Youngstown State on Wednesday, and he wasted no time taking a shot at his former employer.
Pelini now works for Jim Tressel, who won a national championship at Ohio State. Tressel, the school president at Youngstown State, knows a thing or two about football. Apparently Pelini does not feel that the same can be said for Nebraska’s administration.
Pelini calls Jim Tressel “a president who understands football, who's going to support me, something I don’t know if I've ever had.” Zing!

Whether or not you think Pelini is a good coach, the man won at least nine games in each of his seven years with the Huskers. That’s why he feels slighted.
But Bo seemed to be in a great mood on Wednesday. In fact, he even made a great joke about the infamous fake Bo Pelini Twitter account.
Bo on @FauxPelini: "Cats and Penguins, they get along well.” YES!!!

If you don’t follow @FauxPelini, you should. It’s one of the most popular Twitter parody accounts, and for good reason. Youngstown State’s mascot is a penguin. If you want to understand how the cat comes into play, you can read about that here.
