According to the Omaha World Herald, backup center, David Kolowski, has self-published a 491-page book, “Diary of a Husker,” a sometimes-scathing account of the first five seasons of former coach Frank Solich’s six-year reign at Nebraska.
“I know I’m going to ruffle some feathers with some Husker fans,” said Kolowski, a Millard West graduate, now 27 and studying at a chiropractic school in Davenport, Iowa. “But after five years of anything, every single day isn’t going to be rosy.
“I hope people realize that this is a guy who kept track of his real life - his real thoughts, emotions and feelings. I basically bared everything. I’m laying it all out there.”
With encouragement from his parents, Bonnie and Millard West principal Rick Kolowski, David decided before his first day at NU to keep a journal.
Kolowski says he thinks Steve Pederson will enjoy the book, as he supports his decision to remove Frank Solich. Kolowski calls Solich a poor communicator and he blames a lack of leadership among players for many of the woes during the Solich era.

First of all, what possesses folks to disregard all ex coaches, players, fans, and even Tom Osborne himself, and ligitimize a book (no matter what it says) that was written by ONE (1) known, disgruntled, anti Solich player, who admits his grudge against the program and his failure to make the grade?? This is nothing new that isn’t said about every coach in the country , by unhappy players who can’t quite make the grade for one reason or another.
David seems to have written this book in an attempt to legitmize the current failed coaching staff, AND, the current AD who butchered the Husker program.
David does this at the expense of Frank Solich who devoted the better part of his life to the Husker program.
In case you don’t remember, Frank was Big 12 Coach of the Year in 2 out of his 6 years as Head Coach. Frank has been inducted to the Husker Hall of Fame, and,he holds the record as the first cornhusker to have rushed for a 200 yard game. He recruited and coached Heisman Trophy winner Mike Rozier. His record for the first 5 seasons surpassed that of Bob Devaney and Tom Osborne. He was fired during a 10-3 season by an AD who would not listen to Dr. Tom Osborne, and thinks he is better able to pick a head coach than Dr Tom himself.
Bill C. will never come close to what Frank did for the program.
This year the entire country watched as Frank then took a perennial losing Division 1 team at Ohio, and led them to a 9-5 season after 2 years, AND the first bowl appearance in something like 40 plus years. Frank is a man of faith and character and has nothing to prove to shallow minded, new age, husker fan wannabes.
David Kowolski should feel pretty embarrassed about what he has done. David has done Husker Nation a significant disservice at the expense of a good man. David’s attempt to get the last lick in for not playing more at NU is shameful. Hopefully he doesn’t make a dime.

In response to the comment left by bigredfred, read the book and then judge me. If you finish and still think what you do and want to make sure I don’t make any money off your sale, return the book. Barnes and Noble has a very nice 30 day return policy, although most people I’ve heard from have been able to read all 491 pages in a matter of days. Better yet, simply read the afterword at the back of the book and see if that doesn’t calm your fears. This is not a “Solich-Bashing” or “Trash the Program” book as some have thought. You’ll be surprised.
In the meantime, read the review done on HuskerPedia by Husker Dan http://www.huskerpedia.com/huskerdan/20070227dan.html
I’m more than happy to hear what you have to say and you can email me at huskerstories@hotmail.com.
March 2nd, 2007 at 5:50 am
It’s been pointed out many times on this and other websites that Husker football, like all college athletics, has been transformed into big business and the “Fortune 500″ bottom line. With how Steve P has brought this program to new lows in averaging 5 lossses per year now under a “hired gun” under-achieving coach who has no loyalty or roots in Nebraska like Frank S. and absolutely no class and integrity compared to someone like Dr. Tom, it wouldn’t be surprising for the University’s Athletic Department (Steve P) to have a hand and/or vested interest in David’s book. The recently-invented Big 12 North trophy, as well as BC’s spin-doctoring and self-promoting website, are both examples of NU’s AD trying to sell Husker Nation on a coach and program that can’t merit being sold on their own track record of subpar performance, as well as apathy and cluelessness on what it means to be a true Husker.
March 2nd, 2007 at 8:05 am
David, I appreciate you dropping by HuskerZone to speak for yourself. I think your book sounds like an interesting look at the program. An inside the facemask look, if you will. Good luck with it.
March 2nd, 2007 at 8:40 am
Bigredfred, to be quite honest, you’re making yourself look somewhat foolish by making such strong assessments about a book you clearly haven’t read. To a certain extent, I blame the media for the way they’ve characterized the book, which, though it’s likely good for David’s sales, does not represent the true nature of the book.
I’m reading it right now and enjoying it greatly, but to characterize it as some type of “hit job” on Frank Solich is grossly inaccurate.
I would suggest that you take David up on his “no risk” offer to read the book. I guarantee you that you’ll enjoy it and come away with a very different perspective.
March 2nd, 2007 at 9:10 am
HI David,
Thanks for the response.
Actually, my problem is that other folks are using your book to say “I told you so” in an effort to discredit Frank Solich and legitimize Bill and Steve. HuskerDan credits you with saying you agree with the Steve P decision to remove Frank. A quote from your book has you stating the only reason Solich succeeded the first 4 years was due to Dr. Tom’s recruits.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but when you are assistant Head Coach, don’t you get equal credit for all the recruiting for the Husker program? Frank’s accomplishments and character do not need defending, he was the ultimate Husker. I have summarized his accomplishments and credits throughout his long career with the Huskers elsewhre, so I won’t do it again here.
Which brings us to Bill Callahan. He is as Art states, a hired gun with no vested interest in the program OTHER THAN HIS 2 MILLION PLUS A YEAR. To the tune of over 8 MILLION DOLLARS this year with nothing but mediocrity in sight along with poor choices and mistakes a good coach just doesn’t make.
I am tired of folks across the country looking at us and laughing knowing the only way we win games now is the almighty trick play.
Also, as stated in other places, I feel the Huskers do NOT BELONG TO STEVE PEDERSON. They belong to the folks of Nebraska and the parents of all the kids who are getting their education there.
You may be alright with seeing the Huskers as a fortune 500 company, but I am not. You may think it is ok to axe a coach who gave the better part of his life to the program and the Huskers, and then allow someone else to come and NOT hold them to the same standards, BUT I am not. You are alright bad manners from the Head Coach, the throat slash, the f***ing Hillbillies comment, the loss of the walk on program, the gutting of our traditions, the 5 losses per season, but I and a lot of others ARE NOT.
March 2nd, 2007 at 5:40 pm
That’s a pretty nice review on HuskerPedia.
Here’s a snippet:
“Diary” takes the reader on a five year journey through the harsh, grueling and mostly unglamorous life as a Husker scout team member.
After reading “Diary” I came away with a greater appreciation of what players go through to play for Nebraska. Football consumes players’ lives-so much that they must compromise their personal lives because of the demands of football.
March 4th, 2007 at 11:57 am
I also reviewed David’s book:
http://www.cornnation.com/storyonly/2007/3/4/101742/4489
From having gone through the 491 pages - the book can be used by someone to take it that Frank was a failure. It can also be used to show that Frank would have been a success given time.
Instead of categorizing the book without having read it, buy the book, then read it, and then make your own judgements.
March 5th, 2007 at 7:30 am
I really don’t have a desire to read the book. What would be the point? What is unique about David’s view of the world versus, say that of a successful player or coach? Anyway, this is America and there is nothing wrong with writing a book.
I do want to say this though, my concern is not with David and his book, it is with those who use it to forward their own agenda. All examples of this I have seen, are, those who are trying to ’sell’ the current AD and his twisted view of husker football and his over inflated ego. That along with a failed NFL coach who can now add failing at the college level to his resume.
It is irrelevant what is in David’s book in my opnion, therefore I have no intention of reading it. Again, what is the reason? Why is it of value to me given who is writing it? This is not a slight against David Kolowski. My hat is off to him for not only successfully writing a book, but , for his service to Nebraska as a Husker.
March 5th, 2007 at 10:54 am
Well done, BigRedFred. I also have no intention of reading the book for the same reasons you mentioned. Steve Pederson and Bill Callahan should be glorified only when they are both run out of the City and State that they have so severely disrespected and dismantled with their private “gun for hire” agenda.
March 6th, 2007 at 2:51 pm
well, i didnt really like solich anyway. i thought he wasnt much of a motivator. ill be happy to read your book david
March 6th, 2007 at 2:56 pm
yea i didnt like him either. he took over a great program from dr tom and started great but slowly got worse and worse. maybe we hired the wrong guy but im happy we dont have frank anymore. and i will also read your book david
March 6th, 2007 at 10:50 pm
BigRedFred: I’m sorry, but I can’t follow your reasoning here. You obviously care deeply about the Huskers and you obviously don’t like the current direction the program is going. You value our traditions and history, but then balk at the opportunity to relive the end of the glory years.
Don’t you want to know more about what went on during Solich’s time as Head Coach? Don’t you wonder what Steve Pederson saw, what we saw as players, that could have gotten us to where we are today?
Once again, I would like to point out that my book is not strictly full of reasons to fire Solich. There were plenty of reasons that he should have stayed around too and I address them just as they happened.
There is so much more to this book. If you are as strong of a Husker fan as you appear, you should pick up this book and try it out.
It has now become a personal quest to get you to read this book. You’ve got nothing to lose.
“A man who doesn’t read good books has no advantage over a man who can’t read them.” -Mark Twain
March 7th, 2007 at 5:52 am
Stick to your guns, BigRedFred! Lots of us are behind you and we totally agree with your comments. This blog has now evidently become a forum for trying to manipulate you and make you feel guilty for refusing to support the self-promoting agenda of SP and BC, which I and many Husker fans totally agree with. Many Huskers fans who are fed up with SP and BC will not read the book, and you have identified many of the reasons. Apparently the recipients of royalties for the book have their own agenda, having coincidentally just become bloggers on this site right after the book was released. Did you also notice the two new bloggers who randomly logged comments in only 5 minutes apart, and they were practically the same comment about the book? Self-promotion is indeed rampant in Husker football.
March 7th, 2007 at 7:25 am
I welcome David’s comments here. It’s precisely what any writer ought to do…find a blog like this and join the discussion. This is Web 2.0 at work, gentlemen.
March 7th, 2007 at 7:45 am
We should all indeed be grateful for this website’s high quality and dedicated administration, from which all of us benefit. I don’t think any of us say “thank you” enough for our opportunity to share ourselves and our thoughts about our beloved team and tradition. From reading all the recent blogs (which again we should all be thankful for the enjoyment and in fact education we drive from it), it seems that the operative words in David’s quote from Mark Twain are “Good Book”. I don’t presume to speak for BigRed Fred and others, but I simply believe that some fans who are so frustated with SP and BC will never even want to read a book that has been documented to support the removal of a true Husker like Frank Solich, in favor of the two-headed monster Pederson/ Callahan that have taken our beloved teams to new lows not seen in generations. Thanks again, and best wishes to all bloggers out there.
March 7th, 2007 at 1:03 pm
Thanks Mike D. (and to all who chose to “play fair” here).
March 7th, 2007 at 1:18 pm
Hi David,
What you mean to say is, do I want to relive your version of the ‘glory years’?
Actually, I’ve lived here all of my life, except for a short stint when I worked in Kansas. I remember the 70-71 husker teams as I was playing high school football in a little southwest Iowa town 20 minutes from Omaha. I took my son to memorial stadium while he was growing up. We saw Tom’s 250th win there beating Oklahoma, and stayed for the fireworks afterwards. I have all the memories and, know most of the legends who made the huskers who they are today. My son even got to spend time with Johnny Rodgers while working at the local country club during his summers while in High School. I still go to games each year even though I disagree with where we are going in Lincoln.
As for reading, yes I agree that a good book is worth the read. There are a number of them out there I would recommend. Several by Tom Osborne himself, and, other inspirational books written by coaches and emphasizing the importance of faith on not only the Husker football program, but on all sports and life in general. You see, in the old days, the importance was on the individaul and, the college process of making them better young men and women.
I was reading one book over lunch today , by Thiesen and Todd I believe. The book was a collection of short lessons learned by Huskers over the years, with respect to their faith and what God did for them and taught them through the Husker football program.
When you read a good book, there is always a premise to it. Dr. Tom wishes to use what he knows and help others. He is concerned for their future. What is the premise to your book David? Was it written with a noble motive? Frankly, no offense, but I have heard nothing beneficial from folks quoting you. It seems to be all about the ‘dirt’ in college life, (which is rampant everywhere), this is just what I heard. And, with comments by folks quoting you, it is used vigorously to defend Bill Callahan and Steve Pederson and the dismissal of Frank Solich. Tell me, what was in your heart when you wrote this and, are you interested in making any kind of a point?
Again, I miss what Husker football once stood for. I miss the men, coaches, and leaders, with faith and character who guided the ship, and gave us all the rich history and memories which so many of us carry with us today. They were a moral compass for so many young folks. That ‘moral compass’ has been replaced by a ‘win at all cost’ mentality, by the ‘fortune 500′ mindset, and BIG money. When you look at the actions of Steve Pederson, you can arrive at no other conclusions.
I do not believe the program should have been dismantled and, all the coaches and families sent packing, uprooting them and forcing them to other places. I do not appreciate the lies told to the folks of Nebraska when Frank was fired and, then immediately afterwards.
Remember, Frank Solich was let go during a 10-3 season! He had 9 win seasons in 5 out of 6 years. He won the Big 12 north twice! He had over 11 wins twice. He took a team to the National championship game. He had a successful re-org after a dismal year and was fired. Tell me why, and tell me why someone with NO Nebraska roots is not held to the same standard?? Why does Bill Callahan not get measured by the same ‘yardstick’ as Frank, after Frank spent most of his adult life with and for the Huskers?
I fundamentally disagree with the west coast offense philosphy, and the big business mentality. I believe the Huskers belong to the fans everywhere, the kids and parents of kids who go to school there, and, most importantly, the folks of Nebraska. NOT to Steve Pederson!
It was always the ‘community’ and the entire state of Nebraska bonding together as one that made the program special and successful. Coaches were vested. Community service for coaches and players was big. Dr. Tom’s mentoring programs still thrive today.
Well, thanks for letting me share some of my thoughts. Best of luck to you David. I respectfully disagree with you.
March 7th, 2007 at 3:05 pm
BigRedFred: Believe it or not, you and I agree on many things. I too don’t like how “corporate” the game has become. I too don’t agree with the handling by the administration of several events in recent years. I could go on and on here, but I’ll save my breath.
This book is my own. I had no input or guidance from SP or BC in any way. I never even met these men until last Wednesday when I was in Lincoln and told them for the first time about the book. This book was never designed or intended to validate the current staff or direction of the program.
If you choose to form your oppinions based on someone else’s interpretation, how can you be sure they even read the whole thing or got the intended message? And what is this intended message, you may ask? 5 years of Husker life. No more, no less. Investigate for yourself and then decide.
I’m baffled by the amount of time and energy you have spent rationalizing your desire to stay uninformed. If you want to criticize me and my supposed motives, you may do so in private at huskerstories@hotmail.com. Until you actually read the book and have input on the WHOLE matter, I will handle your comments one on one.
If you’re wondering why I care so much about getting this book into ONE guy’s hands, it’s because I KNOW that you will enjoy it. I can even send you dozens of emails from people who have read it and raved about it.
March 8th, 2007 at 6:45 am
David,
BigRedFred is right on the money in relaying how many Husker fans who are so upset and saddened with how far NU’s current football program has fallen under Pederson and Callahan, and who are also so appalled at how true Huskers such as Frank Solich, Doak Ostergard and even Dr. Tom have been treated by our present ego-driven AD and Coach, that we have absolutely no inclination to pick up your book and read it. But it’s not a personal vendetta against you at all. The “Good Books” authors that Mark Twain spoke of, never need to be obvious in pleading or convincing others to read their books. As BigRedFred pointed out, “Good Book” authors like Dr. Tom let their integrity speak for itself without having to try to push or coerce the public into thinking a certain way. We all wish you the best in your writing and Chiropratic School, but perhaps consider letting your book stand on its own, and not continuously criticizing a fellow true Husker like BigRedFred for his genuine and well-thought out philosophies that many of us support and share. You guys are on the same team, and it’s ok to agree to disagree about the need to (not) read your book. Best of luck in the future.
March 8th, 2007 at 9:40 am
Jeff: You’re right. Maybe one day fans like Fred will pick it up. Until then, there’s nothing I can do. I can’t force anyone to read it and I would never want to do that anyway.
I’ve been trying to make the point that this book is completely seperate from everything going on now. It simply shows what happened, from my perspective and the perspective of my fellow players, during these years before all of this happened.
I know this is nothing personal like a vendetta, but I hope fans will see that I too did my best to share my thoughts and feelings with integrity and honesty.
That’s all I have for this board. Best Wishes and GO BIG RED!!!
March 8th, 2007 at 4:28 pm
responding to jeff p: well not all husker fans are upset with the current program. a lot are but mostly not.
March 9th, 2007 at 5:43 am
You’re way off as usual, Frank, er I mean Pete, as well as Steven A. & John. Your fool-hardiness ain’t foolin’ anyone.
March 10th, 2007 at 8:25 pm
haha you got me…just felt like mixin it up…but how did you catch me? Just the comments of the email address? I thought the mail wasnt published. Oh well its just a blogging sight. It doesnt matter
March 10th, 2007 at 8:28 pm
oh i think i know how you did it…no one else on this sight agrees with me so when two comments agreed on eachother then you knew they had to be me. Oh and Ned, Ive never noticed you post any comments. Are you Bigfredred or one of those guys doing the same thing I did…I wonder??
March 11th, 2007 at 7:13 pm
To Pete (also ficticious Frank, Steven A & John),
No I’m not anyone else, just a long-time reader of this quality site and a first-time blogger. It was pretty obvious just your writing style that was exactly the same under 4 different names, plus I would think that BugEater and this site knew you were “mixing it up” from your e-mail address, as you may recall BugEater’s recent comment about “playing fair”. But Pete, it’s not that no one else agrees with you, as you are undoubtedly a very loyal Husker fan. I think that you should just take the time to read and listen to what others say about the current state of the team (including AD and Coach) instead of simply playing the devils’ advocate without understanding their comments. I think that you’re a good Husker fan, Pete, but you might consider apologizing to BugEater for “not playing fair” and pretending to be other bloggers, plus for calling this site “just a bloogging site”. Mike D. said it best last week: this is a quality site run by fans with a lot of true class, and we all owe them a great deal of gratitude. Thank you, and thanks to you too Pete for admitting your mix-up. You’re ok.

Ned, I do read and listen to what others have to say. A lot I do not agree with but I do read and listen. I understand that I probably didnt “play fair” but there had to be at least one or two blogs that agreed with me! Oh well, I dont think anyone will get to worked up about my little “mix-up”. I would like to apologize for calling this just a “blogging site”. I now understand that this is one of the more high-quality sites for husker football. Husker fans are truly the greatest fans in college football and this site sure does show it.
March 12th, 2007 at 6:27 am
Pete, you are a loyal Husker fan and a good guy. You don’t need to hide behind any other names on this blog, just continue to speak your mind. Regardless of whether or not any one else agrees or disagrees with you, your intentions and appreciation of this site seem to be genuine and based on loyalty to the Huskers. In turn, you are appreciated as well. Best of luck.
March 12th, 2007 at 7:24 am
I’m not afraid to speak my mind. Just a little frustrated, that’s all. Tou and everyone else on this site are also gret fans.
March 12th, 2007 at 8:53 am
Many of us are also frustrated Pete, about various issues (such as SP and BC) and in varying degrees. But as Jeff P. said, we’re all on the same team and this site is a great means to band together, even if we see things differently from time to time. Keep the faith, and keep the blog! Thanks very much to both Bugeater and Administrator as well.
March 12th, 2007 at 9:17 am
We also thank you Art!
March 12th, 2007 at 9:21 am
Hi David-currently reading the book, and loving it! I love journal type books, memoirs, and I think it gives good insight into the program. May I inquire about the publishing house? I am a writer, poetry, just wondering how you got it out there-is Authorhouse the publisher or did you self publish? I think people have a problem with the book only because they continue to want to see the program through rose-colored glasses, and not clear reality. I love the huskers, but I am able to say that knowing they aren’t perfect by a long stretch, and that as outsiders, we never know the whole story like the players do. Take care-Cathy
March 12th, 2007 at 7:53 pm
Cathy: Thanks for the great review. In response to your question about publishing, you’ve got tons of options this day in age and I encourage you to explore all of them to find the best one for you and your project.
I’ve learned a lot about it from this little adventure. First, get a realistic idea of the potential market for your book. If it’s small, consider self-publishing. You’ll get to have full control over your project and you’ll end up with a nice memento for friends and family. If you see it having a large market, send a querry letter to a publisher and see what happens. Getting your foot in the door as an unknown author at a traditional publishing house (Scholasic, Little-Brown, etc) is very tough unless you can really blow them away with your idea. There are plenty of books that can help you with this step.
Another possiblity which I’m currently looking into is becoming my own publisher. Simply incorporate yourself as a company, follow some coaching and advice, and you’ll end up with all the benefits of self-publishing with the benefits of having your own business. There’s a company in Omaha called Conscierge Marketing (just type in http://www.lisapelto.com) and talk with Lisa Pelto. Helping people become their own publisher is what she specializes in.
There are plusses and minuses to every scenario. The plus of a traditional publisher is there’s no out of pocket expenses. The minuses are that you lose a great deal of creative control over the product and you’ll recieve a lot less per book, even though they also pay for the marketing and publicity that should help it sell more. They will do a lot of work for you and your book becuase they’re invested in it, but you don’t see a lot of profit unless it really takes off.
The plus of self publishing through a company like AuthorHouse is that you are in complete control, you maintain ownership and copyright, they are hooked up with the major distributors who can get your book listed in Barnes and Noble and Amazon, and you make a bit more per book than you would though a traditional publisher. The down side is that these Print-On-Demand companies (or POD’s) are generally not as respected among bookstores because they will print pretty much anything and quality is never a gurantee. Also, the price of the book in the end will generally be quite a bit higher than you would like. And, don’t forget that with a POD house, you pay for everything up front. Most of these places can do anything you’d like from editing to marketing, but you’re going to pay for it, and sometimes you may pay more for their service than the product itself (for example: copyright registration is $30 if you do it yourself. AuthorHouse charges $150).
If you become your own publisher, you once again pay for everything up front and you have to do all the work, but once you have a book that you’re proud of, there’s no middle men. You print at a fraction of the previous cost, you can lower the selling price of the book drastically to make it more customer-friendly, and you keep just as much if not more of the profit. It’s a bigger initial investment, but it pays off much quicker.
Best of luck with your project. I hope this information was helpful! Feel free to email any further questions to huskerstories@hotmail.com.
March 13th, 2007 at 7:54 am
Hi David-thanks for the info on book publishing-very informative and helpful-I wish you the best of luck with the book!! Cathy
March 13th, 2007 at 12:07 pm
Just one little random question…is anyone else here a Creighton Bluejay fan on the side? I am but only for basketball.
March 13th, 2007 at 2:06 pm
@Pete
I’m not much of a basketball fan in general, however I do pay attention to the Blue Jays come tourney time.
I’m in a quandry this year though as my brother, whom I mentioned previously used to be a sports writer out west, is now the assistant SID for Nevada. So I’ll be rocking the Wolfpack coaching staff shirt he sent me on Friday.
Rest assured, I’ll be back in Husker red for the Nebraska/Nevada game Labor Day Weekend.
I also keep tabs on Blue Jay baseball as much as I do Husker baseball - which is usually quite a bit come April/May.
March 13th, 2007 at 2:26 pm
Thanks for the response Administrator. I just wanted to know if any other Husker fans paid any attention to Creighton like I do. After all, I live in Omaha. I wasnt sure if Nebraska fans outside of Omaha hated Creighton or liked them. And heres a fun fact..My grandparents close friend (I’m not sure of his name) used to coach for the wolfpack as head football coach. Isnt it a small world!
March 14th, 2007 at 5:57 am
I like the Blue Jays too, Pete, but similar to you, I typically only follow the Basketball team. The Bluejays came through in the clutch to win the Missouri Valley Conference, and I believe that they’re a dangerous #10 seed in the Big Dance. But Nevada’s a tough draw in the first 7-10 game. Go Bluejays! It is a small world.
March 16th, 2007 at 4:15 pm
Well now that the Jays are done, we can focus our attention back to the more important team in this state…The Huskers!
