He would make a PERFECT Republican candidate for President!!!
Youngstown State head coach Bo Pelini drew a critical unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, then doubled down with another at the end of the Penguins' 27-24 loss to North Dakota State on Saturday.
With 35 seconds remaining, a 4-yard touchdown run by quarterback Easton Stick capped NDSU's 17-point comeback. But a disputed pass interference call that set up Stick's touchdown set off a series of unsportsmanlike conduct penalties against Pelini and the Youngstown State bench.
Pelini later said refs "didn't like the way I was talking to them," though the TV broadcast crew indicated Pelini touched the head linesman.
Fifteen seconds later, after a pair of YSU incompletions, Penguin QB Hunter Wells was sacked for an 8-yard loss, resulting in 4th and 33 at the YSU 7 with 11 seconds remaining. According to the TV broadcast, the Penguins coach then drew a second flag for unsportsmanlike conduct, giving his team 4th and 36 from their own 4-yard line.
"I've never seen anything like this in my life," said one commentator.
"Nebraska fans have," replied his broadcast partner, referencing various unsportsmanlike conduct penalties received during Pelini's 7-year tenure as coach of the Huskers.
Suspension, censure, fine?

This brings up something I've wondered for quite some time.
Is it possible for a football coach to get tossed? Would it work like hoops (i.e. two PFs and you're gone)? Would one intentionally do it the way a hoops coach or baseball manager would for the purpose of lighting a fire under the team?
Something to think about....
SuperHornet's Athletics Hall of Fame includes Jacksonville State kicker Ashley Martin, the first girl to score in a Division I football game. She kicked 3 PATs in a 2001 game for J-State.

When I was a senior at UNI, an assistant coach got tossed in a game vs. Eastern Illinois for badgering a ref.
