Frank Solich, winningest coach in MAC history, steps down from Ohio
Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports Frank Solich’s Nebraska ties are still strong.One of the most accomplished coaching tenures of the 21st century reached its conclusion Friday morning. After 16 seasons as the Ohio Bobcats’ head coach, Frank Solich stepped down from the position. In a statement, Solich cited health issues as the driving reason to relinquish the role he has held since 2005.
“After fifty-five years in coaching, including 16 at Ohio University, it is time for me to step away to focus on a cardiovascular health issue,” Solich said in a statement. “I’ve appreciated the support of Bobcat fans over the years, and I know they will continue to support Coach (Tim) Albin.”
