What If Wednesday: What if Tom Osborne stuck around a while longer and didn’t retire after the 1997 National Championship?

-We welcome producer Alex Baker back for the question of the week, and it’s a doozy. Osborne retired at age 60 after Nebraska won the 1997 National Championship, passing the team off to Frank Solich. It had been 3 titles in 4 years when Osborne retired. Now, we see older coaches sticking around for a while. Solich is in his 70s at Ohio….Bill Snyder coached into his upper 70s at Kansas State

-What would be different? Imagine if T.O. coached until he was 75….he’d still be coaching through 2012. How about that for a mindbender…

Tom Osborne has some mighty big praise of Adrian Martinez, and it’s hard to think he’s wrong

August 30, 2019 by Jake Sorensen Leave a Comment

Osborne said yesterday at the Big Red Luncheon in Omaha that Martinez may be the most skilled Husker QB he’s seen…pretty big statement…though if you look at the full package, that means passers, and Nebraska didn’t really have passing QBs in their era of dominance

-Is Martinez a generational QB, or is he a product of Frost/Verduzco? Can we expect similar play from McCaffrey/Logan Smothers/others down the line?

Frank Beamer and Steve Spurrier set to coach in next January’s Polynesian Bowl….would Tom Osborne ever get back on the sidelines for one last go?

-Before you laugh—in 2018, 81-year-old Dick Vermeil was one of the coaches for one of the teams, so don’t say Osborne is too old at 82…and we’ve seen Bill Snyder coach into his late 70s in actual college football…would Tom ever give it a go for something like this?

–How great would it be to see the living legend one last time with the headset on? In the same era that Scott Frost is Nebraska’s head coach?! What a visual that would be.
