[Husker] Ostergard

I did not meant to contact Osborne about decisions. Osborne is on record as 
saying his input  would have been worth something though. I am only saying 
he should get a courtesy call, early in his retirement, not now I wouldn't 
think. Geeeesh.  Uncle!

I really don't want to get involved in discussions about personnel moves in 
the athletic department, but I did wonder the same thing here. This is not 
typically what is done (contacting the former coach for decisions) 
regardless of the stature of Osborne. Sure the AD and coach Callahan seem to 
take a very business-like approach to what they do, but like it or not this 
is the way things are done now a days in collegiate athletics. People on 
this list need to let go of the past, and that can be very difficult, 
especially after folks like Devaney and Osborne set the bar so high in 
Lincoln.

Just a question here;  Why would anyone contact
Osborne?  Is he still associated directly with the
University Athletic Department?
