But it's Friday....

Starting AFTER the pretty perfect Tom Osborne,
chose A quality from each following coach that COMBINED MIGHT have mad a great coach....

I'll start...
Solich....valued tradition, teams worked hard
Callahan....could recruit innovative mind
Pelini....Defensive minded USUALLY, KIDS PLAYED FOR HIM
Reilly.....headscratcher for me...optimism?
Frost ...(yes, you have to find something) connection to our great years, even if he did not use it well
Rhule.....Goodness....wholehearted devotion to the task....

Ok, just some thoughts....

I'd say you pretty much nailed it.

Reilly.....sprinkles
 
Solich - banging coeds
Cally - recruiting/restore the order campaign
Pelini - Defensive mind/ lovable psychopath
Riley - niceness
Frost - night out drinking/fighting
Rhule - vision for future

Solich- Miami, Iowa State level coach, NU was too big of a job for him to carry on greatness of program
Callahan- Offensive Line Coach, Evaluator of Talent
Pelini- Defensive Backs Coach, Lousy temperament for a Head Coach, easy to dislike
Riley- In charge of Bicycle Cardio, chew gum on the sidelines, hands in pocket, lets team take a beating
Frost,- In the pressbox calling plays, easy to dislike
Rhule-closer of talent, not a difference-maker in close games. Overall, great hire to bringing NU back to prominence.

Bullets NU dodged in the hiring of the last head coach: Matt Campbell, Dave Aranda, Lane Kiffin, Army's Head Coach, Bill O'Brien, Boston College and NC State Head Coaches, and a few others I forgot to mention.

Lance Leopold from KU might have been a pretty good hire, Urban Meyer would have NU in Top Ten by this year.

Just my opinion. Feel free to disagree.
