Sorry, I was at NU in the early 90's and love everything about the glory days and even now... love the past coaches, but I think Solich would set the program back 10 years.
With the type of offense Bo is looking for and the types of personnel we're recruiting, Solich might be more effective than Watson. A guy like Martinez at QB, and I think we saw 2 lateral option plays all year, and not much effective option playaction pass.
I know, I like the read option. But mix it with the lateral pitch option every now and then, and use playaction pass off of both. If we're gonna be an option team, we should go all out.
