An ESPN insider article, Solich is ranked as the No. 9 value college football coach. Boise State's Chris Peterson ranks No. 1.

Thanks for posting, but you have to be an ESPN Insider to read it.

Yeah, I noted above it's an insider article. I suppose it wouldn't be too much to post the excerpt on Frank:

This is from the breathing-life-into-your-career file. Some in Lincoln still haven't figured out why the longtime Nebraska assistant was canned after winning 58 games as the Huskers' coach from 1998-2003. (Note to coaches: Don't follow Tom Osborne, or someone like him.)

 

 

Solich didn't swear off coaching, though. He has won 50 games at Ohio since 2005, which is celebrated in Athens as opposed to being cause for dismissal. Solich was paid about twice as much at Nebraska, but that was before the "new math" for BCS-level head coaches.

 

 

A half-million bucks per year for a coach who has taken the MAC school to three consecutive bowls isn't too bad.
