Captain Kangaroo Posted December 17, 2004 Report Posted December 17, 2004 No link needed. Read about it in the paper tomorrow, I guess. Probably doesn't affect the Zips much. Miami seems to be able to "reload" pretty well. I doubt they'll miss a beat. Quote

Guest Zipster Jr Posted December 17, 2004 Report Posted December 17, 2004 So Ohio U hired Solich after Nebraska canned him. Illinois hired Zook. Stanford took Harris. Washington took Willingham. Pitt actually wanted Wannstadt (1-8 with Dolphins). So following that logic.. Look for Butch Davis to land in Oxford!!! By the way on the Solich hire..... Akron has plenty of experience with hiring a name coach from a storied football school... some guy from Notre Dame...doesn't guarantee success in the MAC at all... Quote
zipboy Posted December 18, 2004 Report Posted December 18, 2004 Solich is not Gerry Faust. OU definitely improved themselves with the hire and it is great for the MAC. OU shelled out $240K base salary for Solich. Akron upped their ante last year for JD. It shows that the league is serious about competing. CK made a good point earlier, play OU in week 1 and save Can't for later. A Thursday night opener in Frank Solich's first game back would at least draw a Fox Sports game and would be a nice draw. Interesting that Solich said they would not do as much option as at Nebraska. Quote
