Perfect. Absolutely spot on. this is the comparison I had formulated in my head but just couldn't quite compute. Great work my man.

Did Solich take a 4-8 team to 11-2 and 14-1 before the Nebraska job?

First, it’s a dumb comparison. Second, Nebraska hasn’t recovered from firing him. He was successful. I would take those first four years with DeBoer.

Your analogy makes no sense. That's all I have.

Frank Solich was a solid coach who didn’t receive a fair shake. His first four seasons were actually fairly solid:

1998: 9-4
1999: 12-1
2000: 10-2
2001: 11-2

If we're talking about most recent national title program coaches you can throw Homer Norton in there

quote:

Solich was coach of the Huskers for six seasons. Solich won at least nine games in five of those six seasons, and finished among the top 10 teams in the nation three times. Solich compiled a 58–19 record (.753) at Nebraska.


quote:

Solich's 1999 Huskers defeated the Texas Longhorns for the Big 12 championship. Solich was named the Big 12 Coach of the Year in 1999 and 2001, and was one of seven finalists for the Paul "Bear" Bryant Award in 2001. He was named Home Depot Coach of the Year in 1999.


quote:

Solich's 58 wins during his first six seasons as Nebraska's head coach exceeded those of his predecessors, Bob Devaney (53 wins) and Osborne (55 wins), both of whom are in the College Football Hall of Fame.[2]


If Kalen Deboer has more wins his first six seasons at Alabama than Alabama’s Hall of Fame coaches Wallace Wade, Frank Thomas, Bear Bryant, Gene Stallings, and soon to be Nick Saban, I will be elated.

Nebraska running Frank Solich off resides in the Hall of Fame of bad decisions.

No comparison. DeBoer has taken a team to the playoff. Nobody knew who the hell Solich was when he took over Nebraska

Apples to Oranges

Solich was a company man of 19 years who was promoted from within, DeBoer is coming in from outside.
