In the eyes of a lot of authorities, both on earth and elsewhere, that's true. But....They said the same thing about bobby petrino too, and what he did was way worse.
In the eyes of future employers, Pellini's statements about the Nebraska AD are far worse than Petrino's indiscretions. Moreso given his history of uncontrolled outbursts.It takes a stronger man to hold his tongue when he thinks he's been wronged. You don't have to lie, just keep your mouth shut about the old job and talk about how excited you are about the next step. Pelini just cost himself a lot of future hiring opportunities by ADs and GMs who don't want to be trashed.
Within a week of being hired, Pellini caused his new employer to issue a public apology for conduct that would get most of us fired.
I don't think this will end well for either Pellini or Youngstown State. Before it's over, Pellini will be a pariah and YSU will be deeply embarrassed.
