re: Analogy time. Kalen DeBoer : Alabama :: Frank Solich : Nebraska

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.

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.

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.
