Osborne agrees to remain as Nebraska AD

LINCOLN, Neb. -- Former coach Tom Osborne is sticking around as Nebraska's athletic director.

Osborne, 72, had indicated he would step down when his contract expires in summer 2010. But the university said Wednesday that Osborne has agreed to stay.

Osborne became athletic director in 2007 on an interim basis after Steve Pederson was fired. The interim tag was removed a few months later after Osborne hired football coach Bo Pelini.

Osborne was head coach for 25 years, winning national titles in 1994, '95 and '97. He was 255-49-3 before retiring after the 1997 season. He later served three terms in Congress and lost a Republican primary bid for governor.

"I enjoy working with student-athletes, coaches and other athletic department personnel and hope that together we can serve the people of Nebraska and the university well," Osborne said.

Osborne and Chancellor Harvey Perlman will review his position annually. When Osborne is replaced, an "open process" will be used in deciding the top job in the high-profile sports program, Perlman said.

His cell mate is Maurice Clarett, right? Sorry about that. Every program has a player that most wished never donned the uniform.

You're really going to respond to a year and a half old post that way?

His cell mate is Maurice Clarett, right? Sorry about that. Every program has a player that most wished never donned the uniform.

Clearly, most tOSU fans aren't proud of Clarett's behavior. However, once he got into trouble, his behavior was not excused and he never played another game in a Buckeyes jersey.
