Yes, he said he has regularly consulted with Osborne over the years, but 
it doesn't appear to me he's talked to Tom about any specific role within 
the Athletic Dept.  BTW, the blog at the Journal-Star site has a report on
conversation with Osborne that includes this statement regarding Osborne's 
name being tossed around a lot:

     Well, I'd rather not even talk about that right now, because I don't
     know what that means, or what those duties would be.  I've had no
     serious conversations about it.

Osborne also said Perlman didn't get any input from him on the
decision to fire Pederson.

Infer what you want from that, TO doesn't sound like a guy actively looking 
for a job at Nebraska, though.
