Frank Solich DWI Conviction - Odds Posted on Job Status
Dear ol’ Frankie. Fired from the Huskers after going 9-3 only to give way to the Callahan Debacle.
ATHENS, Ohio — Ohio coach Frank Solich was convicted of drunken driving Monday, two days after police spotted him slumped over the wheel of his vehicle.
Solich, in his first season with the Bobcats, pleaded no contest and was ordered to complete a three-day driver intervention program. He also had his license suspended for 180 days and was fined $250.
The former Nebraska coach apologized in court. He declined to comment afterward.
The university, in a statement released before his court appearance, said Solich would remain in charge of the Bobcats as it monitored the case.
Solich, 61, appeared to be passed out when police found him Saturday night in the vehicle, which was facing the wrong direction on a one-way street and in drive, according to a police report.
Anyone care to post odds on the job status? Cosidering the man was passed out at the wheel with the car in drive, this is more than the garden variety ‘one too many and ran a stop sign.’ The handicapper in me would start the moneyline at losing his job -175 but we’ll leave that to the experts.
