Landlord Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Firing Frank was the stupidest move in college football history. In hindsight, it's obvious. How so? In 6 years, AFTER taking over a successful franchise, he won the CCG one time. Hell, he only won our division one time (again '99). Really, he couldn't with the NORTH division?! Sure, he took us to a MNC, but who is really proud of that? We got mud stomped by Colorado the game before, and never won our division. How we got in, still baffles me, and the outcome of that game shows we had no business being there. Following that year, he went 7-7 and then had a 10-2 season. Firing Solich was something that needed to be done, but when and how it was done was not the best of ideas by Pederson. IMO, he should have been gone after the 7-7 season, or given one more season after his 10-2. At least I can say Bo has done just as much, if not more here as a HC, that Solich did. Bo may not have a CCG under his belt, but at least he has won our division 3/5 years (while going through a conference change and should have won in '09), rather than 1/6. Solich also succesful at Ohio? Not a strong conference, but here is his record there.. I think it speaks for itself. 2005--- 4-7 2006--- 9-5 2007--- 6-6 2008--- 4-8 2009--- 9-5 2010--- 8-5 2011--- 10-4 2012--- 9-4 I am not trying to bash on Solich, as I am thankful for the sweat, tears, blood and pride he poured into this program for 28+ years, but he was not HC material. The record doesn't speak for itself, unless you understand context, which your post does not. By your same logic Tim Miles is a piss poor wannabe coach with all of his losing seasons. Solich has brought unprecedented success to a school that had hardly any to speak of in it's history. I'm just re-reading through your post and not even understanding how you made it. Bo has accomplished more than Solich did? Less wins, less championships, less weeks ranked, same amount of bowl wins - literally the only cherrypicked thing you could find to say Bo has done more is division titles, which are nice I guess, but since when is that something we give weight to at Nebraska? The Big XII north was actually quite good in those years as well. Tom Osborne took over a highly successful program as well and guess how many conference championships he won in his first six seasons? Here's a hint - depending on how you count being co-champion, you could either consider it to be less than or equal to Solich. Quote Link to comment
