Tom Osborne (Nebraska AD)

[NFBuck]

OTL first report just said Tom Osborne is heading back to Lincoln to replace the Huskers recently ousted AD. Can't find anything on the web yet. Thoughts?

That's probably the best thing that could happen to nebraska at this point.....

It's the worst thing they can do.

They need to move on and quit yearning for the days gone by.

It's equivalent the Alabama obsession with Bear Bryant.

Don't dog on Bear, he did win 26 NC's for bama over a 25 year stretch.

Maybe they can bring back Mike Rozier and Tommie Frazier too.

...and Lawrence Phillips will chuck another chick down the steps and beat her head off off the wall...then play later in the season.

True they do need to move on, but I seriously doubt Osborne is going to appoint himself the head coach.

I'm pretty sure they won't go back to the Power-I, but I am pretty sure they'll end up hiring someone who isn't going to run the West coast or something else that won't fit in with either the atmosphere or the athletes they have there.

Osborne is the only person associated with the place that can get control of the situation and go from there. Let's judge them on that move instead of this rumored one. If they go out and hire Norv Turner or Wannstedt, that will be the end of Nebraska, but if they hire someone like Bo Pelini or Paul Johnson (the two names I've read rumored so far), that's another.

Ahh... the good old days...

They could start by putting Tommy Lee back in the marching band.

 

[jwinslow]

Will he call up Willie Williams?

I commented that Callahan would be gone about a month ago in the D.J. Woods thread. DaytonBuck and Billmac91 had him staying. With his A.D. buddy being gone, I think it would take a miracle for him to be there next year.

Every fanbase of a struggling team wants this guy...maybe Nebraska will do the smart thing?
