Bo Pelini allegedly rips Nebraska athletic director during team meeting

Bo Pelini allegedly lashed out at Nebraska athletic director Shawn Eichorst during a players meeting at a Lincoln high school, according to the Omaha World-Herald's Dirk Chatelain.

An audio recording of the meeting, which is said to have taken place on Dec. 2, provides some perspective into Pelini's relationship with Nebraska.

"A guy like (Eichorst), who has no integrity, he doesn't even understand what a core value is," Pelini said. "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 is said to have spoken conversationally, rarely raising his voice. He also expressed his support and advice for players.

"I didn’t really have any relationship with (Eichorst)," Pelini said. "The guy, you guys saw him (Sunday), the guy's a total p----. I mean, he is. He’s a total c---."

The university issued a statement in response to the story.

"If these comments were, indeed, spoken by Mr. Pelini, we are extremely disappointed, but it only reaffirms the decision that he should no longer be a leader of young men at Nebraska," the statement read. "His habitual use of inappropriate language, and his personal and professional attacks on administrators, are antithetical to the values of our university. His behavior is consistent with a pattern of unprofessional, disrespectful behavior directed by Mr. Pelini toward the passionate fans of Nebraska, employees of the university and, most concerning, our student-athletes."

Pelini was fired by Nebraska on Nov. 30. He was introduced as the head coach of Youngstown State on  Dec. 17.
