Much like Gill's at Buffalo.The turnaround in his 2nd year was impressive. Since then, pretty mediocre.They were pitiful before he got there. And he's gotten them to the MAC championship twice in a 5 year coaching tenure. plus, he's developed some pretty good players. It is pretty impressiveHe's 39-35 at Ohio. Only 3 of his 6 teams have had winning records, either overall or in the MAC. Am I supposed to be impressed with that?
Only so much as Bo Pelini fired himself as defensive coordinator after 2008. He passed off the "coordinating" duties to someone else in order to focus more on being head coach.Frank Solich is a Husker...always will be in my mind. But I question his credentials as an offensive coordinator for Nebraska. If I'm not mistaken, didn't he fire himself as Nebraska's offensive coordinator after the 2002 season?
I didn't believe it, because I wouldn't think a head coach would say that since it could be used against him in recruiting, but he did say it. It sounds like the earliest he'd consider it is after his contract is up in 2013.I can't remember where I read it but there was an article sometime in the last year about Frank and in that article it talked about how he would just like to go back to being a position coach. So my guess is, if Beck ever leaves and TO and Bo are still here if Frank wants it, he gets it.
I'm not real internet savy, so not sure how you dug that up but thanksI didn't believe it, because I wouldn't think a head coach would say that since it could be used against him in recruiting, but he did say it.

What? How can you say something like that? For the record I never wanted Solich gone. Besides that you act like Nebraska is the only fanbase that has people calling for coaches heads after bad things. A lot of shaggybevo posters want mack brown gone. His record there is impressive but one bad season...bshirt said:I don't think this is too likely... but if it happens, I'll be happy. A part of me died when I heard Solich was fired. I just couldn't believe Nebraska would do that to one of its own sons after a 9-3 season.I heard Solich interviewed last year and he was very open to the idea of one day returning to Nebraska to finish his coaching career and was willing to be an assistant.
But to many, it was a brilliant move to fire the staff for a 10 - 3 season because it then brought us four years of Callahan.
NU mave have the best fans but also the most stupid.
Btw, who was the last NU HC to win the BigXII? Beat Texas? Play in the NC game? Ah, who cares.....roll out the excuses.
there is a big difference between the nebraska option and the oregon option. And as much as i loved the days of the option i just dont know if i want that back. The level of defensive athleticism has changed dramatically in the last decade and im afraid it wouldnt work as wellOregon really lives off the zone read, which is more or less what we are trying to do. Granted, they have been perfecting that system and have the OL for it while we are in year 1, and a bit different in style.Oregon runs an option offense. Seems to be working ok, to the tune of 50 points per game.
Plus, their offense completely disappeared against California so it's not like it's been totally consistentAnd they played a lot of bad defenses.
No, I like Oregon's offense a lot. Just being contentious here.
OU didn't actually fire Bob Stoops. Texas isn't going to fire Mack Brown this year either.There's also OU fans that have called for Big Game Bob's head after all the BCS losses.
Of course there's a big difference between Nebraska's option and Oregon's option, it's 13 years later! Offenses change. 1997 Nebraska looked a lot different than 1995 Nebraska. If Osborne was still coaching and calling plays today, his option offense would probably look a lot like Oregon's or Florida's option offense.there is a big difference between the nebraska option and the oregon option.
