Lately all anyone seems to have to talk about is one of three topics: the students not showing up at games, Cody Glenn's suspension, or what bowl game NU might go two (despite the fact that two games are still in doubt). As Husker Trucker stated in one of the "the students suck for not showing up" threads, "If this board is so hard up now for topics to talk about, just imagine what it is going to be come March....duh!!" Well HT I completely agree! So I thought I might start a new, completely random thread.
In reading the thread Bennychico11 started with a KC Star article about how NU fans can feel proud again, one quote from Bo made be think about whether or not Frank Solich might return in a few years to NU. Here is the quote and link to the post:
“To be honest, I never would have thought when I left here in 2003 that I’d be back working here,” Pelini said. “I didn’t feel like the job should have been open in the first place. But it happened, and I was ready to move on. You can only control in this life what you can control. It’s funny how things work out.”

Point being is that I think it has been well publized how much respect Bo has for Frank. He has said repeatibly that he thought Frank got a raw deal. He mentioned before the season that he doesn't think many people realize just how much of a contribution Frank made to NU. This all leads me to ask what are the chances Bo brings Frank back to NU as a part of his staff?
It is true Frank has a gig at Ohio U and has had some good success there, but he is only 2-8 this year. Just for hypothetical thinking, let's say his record doesn't get better the next 2-3 years and loses his job. Maybe he does get better but gets weary of being a HC, he is 64 or 65 years old after all, but still wants to remain involved in coaching. Either way Frank is no longer the HC at Ohio after 3 years.
The current staff at NU has several players that could be gone by then, mostly due to being hot commodities, and I would guess Watson is one of them. Bottom line is that openings may be available at that time.
The other factor to consider is that Frank is an EXCELLENT RB's coach and, no matter what anyone else will say, a good offensive mind. He could continue to be that bridge to the past after TO retires again.
If all of this happens, what are the chances Bo looks to bring Frank Solich as a RB/Asst. HC? What would be your feelings if this happened?
