That's the impression I always got, and it's a shame.  Whether you liked 
him as a head coach or not, Solich was a key part of Osborne's staff and 
was far from the disaster at head coach that so many like to believe.  
I'm not gonna "live in the past" so that's all I will say.  I look 
forward to Dr. Tom rebuilding many of the bridges that were burned by 
the new "he who shall not be named."  Speaking of which, has Paul Meyers 
mentioned anything about coming back?  I've heard some interesting 
rumors on the "final straw" that made him leave...
