Harry KalasSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And in the 1980s, he has the fourth best coaching record in all of collegiate football.
Harry KalasSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Behind only Lavelle Edwards, Tom Osborne and Braskin, Vince Dooley of Georgia.
Harry KalasSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It's the second down and five called.
Harry KalasSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Here's Jefferson again.
Gary DanielsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
There you see him, how he rakes both of our coaches, winning his active coaches behind just Paterno and Bowden for Hayden Fry.
Gary DanielsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Of course, Tom Osborne there from Nebraska and Lavelle Edwards, who's done a magnificent job at BYU also.
Gary DanielsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
They had an average three wins a year for 10 years before Lavelle Edwards took it over.
Gary DanielsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Two great guys who turn around programs.
Elijah HerbelHOST
They got it done.
Arden LockePANELIST
The Tom Osborne whole complex that is, you know, state of the art, got all of the accolades.
Arden LockePANELIST
But that was supposed to be done like a year and a half before it was.
Arden LockePANELIST
I was told as a recruit that I was going to be in that my freshman year.
Peter SchmitzHOST
And it's just a nice reminder.
Peter SchmitzHOST
of just how brilliant Tom Osborne was as an offensive coordinator.
Peter SchmitzHOST
There were so many plays that he pulled out that, you know, we were the first ones to use them in the collegiate level where we invented it, if you will.
Peter SchmitzHOST
The fumble ruski, of course, very, very prominent, although I don't know that was necessarily Tom's invention or anything.
40 MINS LATER
Alex SchmitzHOST
Right.
Alex SchmitzHOST
Uh, another close game that, uh, stood out to me was, uh, Auburn versus, uh, Baylor, uh, Auburn won that one 17 to 16.
Alex SchmitzHOST
And, uh, that one actually, uh, ended on Baylor scoring at the end of the game and then decided to go for two Tom Osborne style to finish the game rather than going to overtime.
Alex SchmitzHOST
And, uh, they didn't, they didn't get it.
Mack BrownGUEST
So here I am at 29 sitting there talking to a 55-year-old, and I remember trying to force him to run the sweep like Nebraska was running.
Mack BrownGUEST
I wanted the Tom Osborne sweep, and he didn't want to run it that way.
Mack BrownGUEST
And I made him.
Mack BrownGUEST
I said, no, this is what you got to do.
Taylor LewanGUEST
Um, I really liked the way that they recruited me at Illinois, and then there was still Nebraska.
Taylor LewanGUEST
Tom Osborne flies down to my school, and all the teachers, all the old heads were like, "Yo, Tom Osborne, legend, legend, legend." People are running out of the classroom to go meet Tom Osborne, like, teachers, bro.
Taylor LewanGUEST
And, um, we didn't have a head coach yet, and he said, "I think you're re- you're really gonna like who we bring in.
Taylor LewanGUEST
We can't let that be known right now." They didn't tell me who it was gonna be.
Mike ValentiHOST
And, and also I wanna be careful about acting like Brent Venables, who was on the ropes for most of his time at Oklahoma [chuckles] and then got an extension.
Mike ValentiHOST
I'm not ready to act like that's, you know, Tom Osborne coming into town.
Mike ValentiHOST
So I just wanna see Saturday.
Rico BeardHOST
No, I'm not saying people see the apples to apples from last year playing them and, you know.
Jack EblingHOST
He'd done it so well for so long, including with Bill Belichick in the NFL.
Jack EblingHOST
And Tom Osborne and company hung half a hundred on him.
Jack EblingHOST
So it was 50 to 10.
Jack EblingHOST
And Nick, after the game, is just furious, right? And he says his players quit and all this stuff.

Todd EulerGUEST
I don't know how many people know, like, I have a really bad hip right now.
Todd EulerGUEST
So walking from the Tom Osborne Comp- Complex back to the radio station downtown, then back, you know, to the game and, and I have, uh, Letterman Lounge tickets, which it's only open until kickoff, which you, you don't wanna miss kickoff anyway, right? So-
Jake BockovenHOST
Yeah
Todd EulerGUEST
... you know, it's like, man, I...
Todd EulerGUEST
He was inducted into the Nebraska Hall of Fame.
Todd EulerGUEST
A- and I was like, I, I thought he was already in.
Todd EulerGUEST
I mean, Terrell was in, so I was like, "How is Corey Schlesinger not in?" He scored the two touchdowns to win Tom Osborne's first national championship, and Terrell beat him in.
Todd EulerGUEST
I'm, uh, I was, I was gonna question Terrell on that today.
