Ohio welcomes Frank Solich

Well, in the shock of all shocks, Ohio University signalled to the college football world on Thursday that it is interested in fielding a real football team. OU hired former Nebraska coach Frank Solich to be the new head coach in Athens.

I think that everyone involved in Solich's hiring ought to be commended. This guy never had a fair shake at Nebraska, where he followed the legendary and unbeatabvle Tom Osbourne. The shoes Solich had to fill in Lincoln were simply too large for any decent coach to fill properly.

Solich is an Ohio native, and people in Athens will be a lot more forgiving than people in Nebraska. For many Bobcats, a winning season would be enough to guarantee Solich a job for life.
