Well, Bo Pelini always looked like he was ticked off, and apparently he was.

The former Nebraska football coach spoke to his players after he was fired by athletic director Shawn Eichorst, and someone had the good idea to tape Bo's rant.

Omaha.com has a story here, and the expletives are barely disguised, so earmuffs everyone.

My favorite line was when he says he'd rather work at McDonalds -- "not that there's anything wrong with McDonald's."

In short, nothing in the story will surprise you, but it is a good window into Bo's soul.

He's the new coach at Youngstown State, where his boss will be former Ohio State coach Jim Tressel.
