Carl Pelini (born July 15, 1965) is a former head coach for the Florida Atlantic Owls football team. He is currently the Defensive Coordinator and linebackers coach for the Youngstown State Penguins. He is the older brother of former Nebraska and current Youngstown State head coach Bo Pelini.
Carl Pelini was born in Youngstown, Ohio, a former center of steel production with a strong athletic tradition, and graduated from Youngstown Cardinal Mooney High School (the same high school as Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops, Kentucky head coach Mark Stoops, and brother Bo Pelini, former head coach at Nebraska).
Pelini had a relatively short playing career, putting in just two seasons at Columbia University in New York City in 1983 and 1984 as a middle linebacker before returning home to finish his degree.
Prior to finishing his first degree, Pelini began his coaching career with a two-year stint beginning in 1987 as an assistant at his alma mater, Cardinal Mooney High School in Youngstown.
The following year, 1989, Pelini completed his bachelor’s degree in English Literature from Youngstown State University, and later in the same year was brought aboard the staff at Kansas State University by Bill Snyder as a Graduate Assistant. Two years later he moved up from Graduate Assistant to a position on staff as a Restricted Earnings Coach, while he simultaneously completed his Master's Degree in Journalism at Kansas State. Coincidentally, Pelini's last year on the Kansas State coaching staff was also the first year future fellow Nebraska Assistant Mike Ekeler (now defensive coordinator and linebackers coach for North Texas) played for the same team.
