Big Zip Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Interesting -- I would say this is a Gerry Faust situation Notre Dame to Akron, but I think Solich was never as bad as Faust at Nebraska -- his last team was 9-3. It's actually kind of funny to see Nebraska at 5-6 with no bowl for the first time in 35 years -- after they fire Solich. I wonder if we can expect them to go back to an option team.

JP Morgan Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 As you say, I wouldn't compare the Solich situation to Fausts, to put it in locker room talk......Faust couldn't hold a jockstrap to Solich. This is a good move for OU and they should be excited. I guess we won't have the Bobcats to kick around anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipsbandman Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Which means JD and the gang are really going to have to step it up. Not that they are not doing a good job already, but it seems like we are going to face some serious competition in the next few years, especially if BG ends up in the east.

GP1 Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 I wonder how long Solich will be at OU. He didn't need the job, because he still has three years left on his Nebraska contract. I also heard Turner Gill resigned at Nebraska. Maybe he is going to OU to be the offensive coordinator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Solich's Agent: "Hey, great news Frank.... I got you the OU job!!" Solich: "Man...how'd you pull it off? I didn't even know Stoops was gone?!" Solich's Agent: "Um, Frank...it isn't..." Solich: *interrupting* "Wow...I'm gonna get those SOB's at Nebraska back! Fire me after a 9 win season, will they?!" Solich's Agent: *interrupting* "Frank! It isn't Oklahoma University, It's OHIO University!" Solich (disappointed): "Oh...well...it still isn't so bad. You know Tressel built quite a program there. They weren't too bad this season, and..." Solich's Agent: "FRANK, LISTEN TO ME...IT IS OHIO UNIVERSITY, NOT OHIO STATE!!! THE BOBCATS, NOT THE BUCKEYES!!!!!" Solich: "Oh. Bobcats, huh? What, was the Otterbein job spoken for? F*ck..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
