Solich is back in the news again. Gotta love the Ohio Highway Patrol's choice for a "Poster Boy." Anyone seen these posters? Read on:
Ohio Highway Patrol stops using Solich posters
Associated Press
ATHENS, Ohio -- The State Highway Patrol has stopped promoting safe driving with posters that feature a coach convicted of drunken driving.
Ohio football coach Frank Solich entered a no contest plea in late November, two days after police found him slumped over his steering wheel. The patrol said it hasn't distributed or displayed the posters since then.
The patrol chose him for the poster last summer because of his standing in the community. The commander of the patrol's Athens post said that standing also led to widespread attention to Solich's arrest.
He appears in the poster with two troopers and the slogan, "Save the aggression for the field, not the road."
