SOLICH IS OUT

As of last night Frank Solich, the Nebraska football coach, was out of a job. He has won more than 75% of his games, but that's not good enough. The Nebraska fans have long memories, are short on patience and won't settle for anyone who isn't as good as Tom Osborne. It really doesn't matter one way or the other about Solich losing his job as I've observed college and pro football and basketball coaches move up and down the highway finding other coaching jobs and continue doing what they want to do, probably at a greater salary. Solich will probably get hundreds of thousands ...or bazillions of bucks...when they buy the rest of his contract. He's not exactly on his way to selling Amway Quixtar door to door.

P.S. It will cost Nebrask 1.8 million to give Solich the boot. See??? Something's really wrong with this picture, imo.
