ATHENS, Ohio -- Ohio University extended football coach Frank Solich's contract through the 2013 season.
Athletic director Jim Schaus said Friday that Solich has done a good job turning around the program in three years. The Bobcats finished 6-6 last season.
He guided the team to the GMAC Bowl the year before, marking Ohio's first bowl game since the 1968 season.
Solich, who was fired at Nebraska after the 2003 season, was hired in 2004.
