Beating USF Was the Kiss of Death

@McMurphyESPN: Carl Pelini has resigned at FAU a source told @ESPN. Pelini's resignation is effective immediately

[Who'sYourData?]

Well that's odd.  You'd think the guy would get at least one more year.  I wonder if there is another scandal happening behind the scenes.

That was my first thought.

Saw a funny post that said 'Schiano to FAU'

Something happened. This isn't about winning and losing.

Guy leaves a half a million dollar a year abruptly. Left his job at Nebraska under rumors of having carried on an affair with a big booster's daughter in law. Not saying what it was as I don't know, but the guy's judgment leaves a little to be desired.

Apparently it's Pelini and the DC - they went to some party where weed was being used:

"A source said the coaches attended a recent social event where marijuana was used. Although this appears to be an isolated incident, all involved determined it was in the best interest of the program that the coaches resign, the source said."

Unclear whether he used the marijuana or if marijuana was used by others and he was just there. The "isolated incident" makes it appear that he used. Dummy.

That was one bad loss!

I thought Bo may have asked Carl to step down in an effort to confuse stupid Nebraska fans and buy himself more time.
