I think you have to have been a college coach (or at least an assistant)
for a few years before you're put on the short list for the coaches poll.

As I recall Solich was asked to be a voter when he took over at Nebraska
(Osborne had been a voter, of course) and now that Frank's employed as 
a head coach again he was apparently asked to be a voter again.  Good
for him!

They also like 'top 25' schools to have their coaches in the poll, so 
assuming Nebraska gets back to being a top 25 school eventually Callahan 
will be asked to be a voter, possibly as soon as next year.  

However, not all coaches want to be voters, which is probably why only 
2 schools in the Big XII North are represented this year.
