The 1st link says “YPD investigating the assault of Cardinal Mooney Coach Carl Pelini”.
A bit of clarification....
The link provided by clarkgriswold is a Vindicator article that was published very early this morning.
The link provided by ysuindy is a WFMJ TV21 article that was published just an hour or so ago. *Just click on PELINI in the original post and that link will open.

Good Takes; Even Better Picks
‘think Clark was merely pointing out that a hyperlinked “Pelini” in the body of the OP isn’t going to provide the level of information you’d expect to see (an issue of bbcode with URL’s is they kill thumbnails to articles from appearing)
Yea, I had no intention to step on anyone toes/post..........just wanted to point out that the First Link posted was actually the second article of the day, and the Second Link was actually the first article of the day.

Tuition ain't cheap, think the kid was on "scholarship?"

Always right, unless I'm wrong
15 wins in 4 years at Mooney, I'm betting there's some alum/boosters wishing they'd have had the chance themselves...

Until the circumstances of the alleged event are revealed, no one is to blame.

At play here is the Diocese, who has had numerous PR problems with Pelini in his well publicized personal life. Showing up in the news and on social media in a negative light may be coming to an end, in addition to losing games, or in this case, an assault on the coach in the school. The constant negatives are wearing thin. He has to be on a very short rope, no matter right or wrong in this latest situation.

Wild coach Pelini gets beat up by a parent. I gotta wonder what was said to enrage this father so much

Regardless of whether a good coach or not, there is no excuse for the behavior of the parent and the student. The student, for being physically involved should be banned from playing H.S. football for the duration of his high school years at any school. The parent should be criminally charged and sued for damages. Actions like this need big repercussions so that it will send a message to any and all others that would think they might like to do the same.

"He'll never play there"
I agree that there should be consequences for the and student involved. Mooney itself is also partly to blame here. Their standards have plummeted in recent years. Discipline in the school and especially on the football team is abysmal. Pelini himself had a domestic altercation and fled from police a couple of years ago and still retained his job. Massive changes need to be made over there and I'm not sure that they will.

No problem. I just threw up what I could quickly find to help the original post that merely said "Pelini."
Possibly something crazy like “your kid did a stupid thing and now he will have to face some consequences”.
Once a proud tradition gets to this point. Unacceptable to have anything like this happen. Shows his son how to handle things with violence. I have a very hard time watching the celebrations that are just to much to take. Ive been attending games for over 50 yrs and will still attend but so unhappy with current situation.

for the love of god, and for the safety of the children; DROP FOOTBALL MOONEY!
It's embarrassing. Maybe this is the year Ursuline puts the whole Mooney Clown Show out of its misery??

I'm no Mooney supporter, but 6 years ago, Mooney blew out 1-9 Ursuline, who had lost to East. These things come in cycles, especially at smaller schools.
wins shouldn't invite an altercation between a coach and parent/player. I am assuming you said this sarcastically. At least, I hope you did

I think it’s worth noting that Mooney’s previous coach PJ Fecko’s son currently plays for Ursuline

Every once in a while, someone needs reminded of their mortality.
Coach, parent, or admin.
Still haven’t heard the specifics of the incident.

The cycle argument is true if you're simply talking about football records. However the two schools are now headed in different directions that go far beyond athletics. Take one example: Ursuline is building a new arts and athletics facility while Mooney is struggling to keep enrollment. I think it is going to take a dramatic move by Mooney alumni and the diocese to stop the bleeding - academic and athletic-wise. I feel bad for Pellini as that must have been an upsetting experience. I feel even worse for my Mooney friends who have invested so much in the school and the program over the years. A player participating in an assault on the coach? I can't begin to imagine what would have went down if this was the Bucci or Fecko era.

I have no horse in this, but knowing Pelini over the years, here’s my assessment- when Mooney pushed Fecko out and hired Pelini, they bought all his baggage. No parent or kid should be attacking a coach, but the conditions under Pelini were always there for a spontaneous reaction. My outlook is Pelini has always been a jerk. And his personal life problems speak volumes about him. Mooney is not in a good situation right now, athletically and academically. While this incident MAY not be his fault, the bleeding the Diocese is doing with this guy points to a potential divorce to stem the negative PR. Mooney football is a shell of its former self. Time will tell.
