Frank Solich has been doing this coaching thing far too long to feel the need for validation now.
The same could be said for most of his staff, which has as many years and as much cohesion and consistency as any program in the nation.
It’s why Ohio’s head coach can say with a straight face he doesn’t need a Mid-American Conference championship. But he and the rest of the Bobcats assuredly want one.
The talk was all about championships on Friday afternoon as Solich, his staff and some players met local media to talk Bobcat Football in 2018.
