Honestly my first answer would’ve been Frank because it is known that TO had promised it to him some years earlier. Tom actually wanted to keep coaching for awhile longer in 97 but felt he owed it to Solich to step aside. So logically one would think he was the first to know….but one of the clues was it was nobody on staff so Barry was just a guess. Bobby Bowden or Barry Switzer would’ve been my next guesses but they didn’t play for Nebraska.Barry Alvarez
