His big game against Air Force in 1965 was played when I was a toddler.

Was in high school at Holy Name while he was our coach for a couple of years. One day I was delayed for some reason and the crowd was gone. Went scurrying out backside of building by gymnasium and he was standing outside by himself with hands on hips. Nodded at him and continued on. He smiled and said to have a good evening. There was no saving Holy Name, the school was dying. Was happy to hear he landed at NE.
So, at that time, you were about the same size as Frank
And a little faster.
I posted my comment with clearly tongue in cheek. If someone thought that was serious then they need help.
Well, he didn't have your mom chasing him with a wooden spoon
I sent you a PM
What are you talking about? I quoted and referenced a post from someone else. Do you have two accounts?
The guy you quoted must have read what I wrote & thought I was serious. My comment was not directed at you in any way.
Congrats to coach Solich on a great career! He's always going to be an important part of Husker history.
I wish him the best on the next leg of his life journey.

great cover. Loved watching #45 play.Coach Solich was a speaker at a Californians for Nebraska banquet when he was head coach at Nebraska. He signed a few Sports Illustrated covers for me including this one for my Mom. One of my best memorabilia items.
He was Huskers. Pelini knew it and said so many times.Congrats to coach Solich on a great career! He's always going to be an important part of Husker history.

I was a RB in high school and so Frank was my position coach when I went the the Husker FB camp, except the 1st year when it was Crogan. Like Frank, I’m on the short side and every year he would come and chat me up. Like others have said, a great human being and a darned good coach. Not in TO’s league but very few are or were.
Not many have brought it up.. don't forget Solich had a number of #1 teams at Nebraska.

Solich's 1979 team won its final game, beginning a 24-game winning streak for the freshmen that stretched to 1984. Solich finished his four years as freshman coach with a 19-1 record, before taking over as coach of the running backs in 1983.
