### Nebraska under Frank Solich

Nebraska Head Football Coach [Frank Solich](/wiki/Frank_Solich "Frank Solich") brought Sanders back to Lincoln in 2003 amidst a staff shakeup following the [Cornhuskers](/wiki/Nebraska_Cornhuskers_football "Nebraska Cornhuskers football")' first non\-winning season since 1961\. Sanders was now in charge of the defensive backs at Nebraska, where 47 takeaways on the season set a new school record, and the Nebraska [Blackshirts](/wiki/Blackshirts_%28American_football%29 "Blackshirts (American football)") set new school and league records with 32 interceptions, the nation's highest\-ranked pass efficiency defense, and the nation's second\-best scoring defense. Despite the turnaround, Solich was fired after finishing the regular season 9\-3\. Nebraska Defensive Coordinator [Bo Pelini](/wiki/Bo_Pelini "Bo Pelini") subsequently led the team to a 17\-3 victory over [Michigan State](/wiki/2003_Michigan_State_Spartans_football_team "2003 Michigan State Spartans football team") in the [2003 Alamo Bowl](/wiki/2003_Alamo_Bowl "2003 Alamo Bowl") to finish the team's season at 10\-3, but he and Sanders, along with nearly all of the remaining staff, were let go after [Bill Callahan](/wiki/Bill_Callahan_%28American_football%29 "Bill Callahan (American football)") was appointed as Nebraska's 31st Head Football Coach.
