“That’s exactly it,” Baum said. “Their coordinators have been there longer than anyone in the MAC, so there’s been a lot of continuity. He had a real nice talk with Solich. He’s like 70 years old (73 actually) but he really enjoyed talking to him and he said he can already name his successor.
“And their O-line coach (Bart Miller) is from Wisconsin, so he knows his stuff. They said they’re going to put together a better O-line than a lot of Power Five schools and that’s what it’s about for him. That’s the group he’s going to grind with every day and he wants to be surrounded by good individuals who are going to push him to get better every day.”
Two little nuggets from the above quote from the article (at least nuggets to me anyway):
1. Am I the only one that noticed that Coach Solich will be naming his successor? Maybe that's common knowledge but I haven't seen that so openly stated in print, and
2. Ohio's aspiring to have an O-line better than a lot of P5 schools. I love that philosophy! Ohio already has a good O-line, and if they can improve it even more, look out!
Yeah I'm ready for football season too....
