I see it the same way, I've never seen this much teeth-gnashing at a coach firing. No one cried bloody murder when Solich was fired from Nebraska, although maybe they should have, noting this years record over there.

Solich being fired was a crime (10-3 record!!??). Nebraska got what they deserved from that debacle. Nebraska always had loads of players who were from Nebraska on the roster which made their team so much more interesting and the fans crazy-loyal. Now there is nary a home grown Nebraskan to be found on the team.

I think the AD will be looking for work soon. The alumni there are just too powerful and hate losing. How long has it been since Nebraska football had a losing season and did not make it to a bowl game?

Solich had 6 years at Nebraska, so he was given the opportunity to get three of his own recruiting classes all the way through. Willingham had only 3 years, so didn't even get one full recruiting class of his own all the way through. And the real reason Solich was fired was because Nebraska recruiting went in the tank on his watch.
