I read the Sports Illustrated article about Scott Frost and just got to thinking about whether it is now time for Frank Solich and Nebraska to reconcile. My father taught at Lincoln Southeast and considered Frank a friendly acquaintance. Several years ago dad was coming into a Runza with another retired teacher as Frank was leaving, he turned around and came back in to visit with the old geezers for a few minutes. I believe he is a good man and a great Husker! Hope it happens some day.

Frank Solich

I had some classes with Frank, good guy always was and forever a Cornhusker.
There has been a ton of discussion on Frank. I felt he was hand tied when he took over.Always liked the man and coach. I agree that he will always be Husker.Jmo.GBR.
For the time, effort and dedication that Solich put in with regard to Nebraska football, and his storied contributions, both high school and college, there should definitely be an effort by the University to reach out to Frank and mend fences. He got a raw deal from Steve Pederson. And, don't get me started on the subject of SP.

Yeah, Solich really inherited a mess.
He sure did.
Steve “Mess” Pederson
I would really love to see the university intentionally. and with “mea culpa” in hand, reach out to Solich to make amends. The loss of that relationship has always filled me with regret, no matter how much I did or did not like him as the HC.

I don't expect to ever know the entire story, but a couple of years back Sipple mentioned in his column that Harvey Perlman hired Steve Pederson for the purpose of firing Frank Solich. Considering how Perlman went about hiring Shawn Eichorst, I consider Sipple's argument to be credible.
It just time to make this right. Can't bring Frank back, but can admit to his firing being a huge mistake.
If Scott frost wins at the rate frank won, I’d consider it a success
Once Solich retires, I'm sure that he will be brought back for a game day (if he wants to come back). Until then he'll be busy enough with his current team.
Taking over a rebuild instead of a dynasty...I totally agree.

In hind sight, I believe the majority of Husker fans would have given him a much longer leash knowing now what we know. The last head coach who really cared about Husker football until now.
