Solich was fired because he wasn't Tom Osborne.
The expectations were ridiculous and pretty much impossible. I hope we are more grounded now in reality. We’ve certainly, as fans, consumed a large dose of it.

Yep.... exactly the same way I see it..........I don't think we would have won any more conference titles with Frank.
7 different teams have won the MAC since Frank went to Ohio. Ohio is not one of them.
Here's the problem IMO. When we hire a new HC lets say we're paying him 5 million a year. That would put our coach in what the Top 10 coaches in college football are making. Would it be to much to expect then more often then not we finish in the Top 10 to 15? If not why would we pay our coach Top 10 money yet have much lower expectations then programs say paying FAR LESS?The expectations were ridiculous and pretty much impossible.

Yes and not exactly. If he was Tom, he would have continued to win at an exceptional rate. However he did not have the Osborne cachet for winning, play calling or recruitingSolich was fired because he wasn't Tom Osborne.

I just can't see paying top dollar for filet mignon then get served hamburger while someone says just be happy with your hamburger?
Not surprising. Your crystal ball predictions over the last 15 years have gotten us to the point we find ourselves today.Yep.... exactly the same way I see it..........
And anyone whose level of performance doesn't exceed the Tom Osborne level needs to be fired, right?Yes and not exactly. If he was Tom, he would have continued to win at an exceptional rate. However he did not have the Osborne cachet for winning, play calling or recruiting

They are. I expect a national title.by year 3.
Not me. I’d like to see some good, sound, fundamentally based football that includes effective blocking and tackling. Things will work their way up from there.
Haven’t followed ct’s posts enough to know his long term position but the performance of our program on the field, under BC and MR has been soulless.Not surprising. Your crystal ball predictions over the last 15 years have gotten us to the point we find ourselves today.
Nice try but don't put words into my post that I did not say or suggest.And anyone whose level of performance doesn't exceed the Tom Osborne level needs to be fired, right?
15 years? Really? No idea where you get that idea but whatever floats your boat Spud....Not surprising. Your crystal ball predictions over the last 15 years have gotten us to the point we find ourselves today.
I don't think that's true of Solich at all, and it was only true of Pelini after he was fired and audio of his private meeting was released.Maybe not quite, but Pelini got close twice in the Big 12, Solich did win and Callahan came close too. 2 of the 4 where nine win a year coaches, and all were disliked by at least half the fans during their runs.
