He earned his Bachelor of Science degree in business administration from Ohio State College of Business in December 1990.

During this period, he also completed his master’s degree in sports administration from Ohio University in 1992.
In 1993, he served for one year as quarterbacks coach at Cardinal Mooney High School in Youngstown.
Following the season, Pelini was briefly employed as linebackers coach with the Detroit Drive of the Arena Football League.
In 1994, Pelini got his first position in the National Football League when he was hired by San Francisco 49ers head coach George Seifert as a scouting assistant.
He was quickly promoted to assistant secondary coach, and by the spring of 1994 he had been promoted again to defensive backs coach.
In 1995, in his new position, he coached in his first Super Bowl as the 49ers defeated the San Diego Chargers 49–26 in Super Bowl XXIX.
In 1997, Pelini was hired by New England Patriots head coach Pete Carroll, again as defensive backs coach, helping the Patriots reach the playoffs twice during his three years there.

Pelini was named the interim head coach and led the Cornhuskers to a 17–3 win over the Michigan State Spartans in the 2003 Alamo Bowl.
Pelini interviewed for the Nebraska head coach position, but Pederson instead decided after a 41-day search to hire Bill Callahan, recently head coach of the Oakland Raiders.
For 2004, Pelini joined the Oklahoma Sooners as co-defensive coordinator under head coach Bob Stoops, helping the Sooners to a 6th place national rushing defense and 11th place national scoring defense on their way towards winning the 2004 Big 12 Championship Game and a spot in the 2005 BCS National Championship Game, where they were defeated 55–19 by the USC Trojans.
