Whether or not you think he should had more time at Nebraska or not, it’s time to acknowledge the former Husker is a pretty darn good football coach.

Frank Solich returns to Nebraska Wednesday night to receive the Tom Osborne Legacy Award at the Outland Trophy Dinner. With this honor, Nebraska fans owe him thanks and respect for his contributions to the program. This isn’t yet another attempt to relitigate his 2003 dismissal from Nebraska; there’s absolutely no value in doing that yet again.

You can’t undo that decision, and besides that, there still are sizable factions of Nebraska fans who on both sides of the issue. So let’s not go there; we’re not changing anybody’s mind on that.

Whether or not you agreed with his firing, can we all agree that Solich deserves respect for his entire body of work at Nebraska and Ohio? A Big XII championship and berth in the National Championship game. Ten straight bowl games at Ohio University, a school that hadn’t been to a bowl game since 1968.
