I have bat dung just a notch aboveEven bat dung is a better coach than Scott Frost.
Easily won by Frank..Tallest midget contest
agree with this.Technically Osborne was our coach in 97 for the NC game, so I choose him.
But in reality let's move on and forget most of the last 25 years.
My God the ship was not sinking with Solich compared to Callahan Riley and Frost..I voted Callahan. Dude could straight up recruit and was a decent DC away from having a great run here. Dude was a straight weirdo sometimes but he was the only one in the list that could have turned this sinking ship around.
Including the 1998 season, this is the 25th season since Osborne retired.Technically Osborne was our coach in 97 for the NC game, so I choose him.

I like Solich but he could not recruit well enough to maintain the ship. He had his chance to hire new coaches and took recruiting specialist Barney Cotton & Bo Pelini. Yes they got 9 wins his last season, but I believe 2002 was probably going to be his ceiling most years.My God the ship was not sinking with Solich compared to Callahan Riley and Frost..
That would have had to happen after a winning year. Tom wasn’t retaining Callahan even if he had won out or fired Coz. I don’t care what TO said, Callahan was history the minute they fired PedyCallahan replaces Cosgrove and he’s still here, and we’d have not fallen off.
Of course, but when Devaney and Osborne created this monster it eventually was going to be hard to feed..I like Solich but he could not recruit well enough to maintain the ship.

Maybe, maybe not, but he certainly would have recruited better players for Nebraska.Of course, but when Devaney and Osborne created this monster it eventually was going to be hard to feed..
Some of you think Mack Brown would have won a National title in Lincoln..
He could only win one in Austin..
Callahan's program was the sinking ship that needed turning around by Pelini.I voted Callahan. Dude could straight up recruit and was a decent DC away from having a great run here. Dude was a straight weirdo sometimes but he was the only one in the list that could have turned this sinking ship around.

That 2003 schedule was pathetically easily. There were 4 above average teams on the schedule (Texas, Kansas St, Missouri and Michigan St). The bowl game was the only win of those four and Solich wasn't coaching, Pelini was. The other three games were blowout losses. Penn St was historically bad that year (3-9 overall and 1-7 in conference play) and NU just squeaked out a win at home. I get sick of hearing about the 9 wins in 2003 because most top programs wouldn't fixate on that but have fired their coach in the same circumstance if a number of measures including recruiting and the overall staff were subpar.I like Solich but he could not recruit well enough to maintain the ship.

That group was grouchy when NU was playing for the Big 12 championship in 2006, and really seemed like a better team than OU that year overall with Zac Taylor as QB. They also played a very good Auburn team close in the Cotton Bowl and were one badly muffed fake punt away from winning.Wrong. Nothing short of a championship could keep him here. A specific group of people weren't going to allow him to stay here.
This was everyone’s thought at the time, and it was 6 years from winning a National Title so it was different time. But I doubt the wins (not recruiting rankings) would have been worse over the next four years than it was. Bottom line is nobody will really ever know.That 2003 schedule was pathetically easily.

Had Solich continued you can pretty much expect the following several seasons would have been a gradually worse each year as the schedule got tougher.
I think we were headed there. That last year when he spread it out with Ganz, we were putting some great offense on the field. It never looked as good under Shawn Watson. I think a new DC and we’re in the picture.Wrong. Nothing short of a championship could keep him here. A specific group of people weren't going to allow him to stay here.
We beat Oklahoma State that year. Oklahoma State finished 9-4.That 2003 schedule was pathetically easily.

Not if he only gets credit for 2002-03 when he couldn’t just ride Osborne’s coattails anymore. Anyone could have ridden out that dynasty.Easily won by Frank..
The song remains the same..Maybe, maybe not, but he certainly would have recruited better players for Nebraska.
No not anyone get a glue..Not if he only gets credit for 2002-03 when he couldn’t just ride Osborne’s coattails anymore. Anyone could have ridden out that dynasty.
When Osborne’s recruits and culture were gone by 2002, Solich proved to be fairly mediocre coach.No not anyone get a glue..
So you say, could be but never given the opportunity because Pederson hated his guts..When Osborne’s recruits and culture were gone by 2002, Solich proved to be fairly mediocre coach.
I feel that if he wasn’t to be fired after 2002 then he should have been given a real chance with his new coaches. Firing him at 9-3 was dumb.So you say, could be but never given the opportunity because Pederson hated his guts..
This is absolute fact, Solich was a lazy recruiter and not only that, When he took over the reigns of the program the stallwarts of that staff already couldn't stand him and that was McBride, Tenopir and Darlington.When Osborne’s recruits and culture were gone by 2002, Solich proved to be fairly mediocre coach.
