Isn't  Osborne the one who quit coaching in his prime (under false pretenses) 
so we  could be saddled with his friend Frank Solich?  We're happy with him  
finding our next football coach?

Coincidence?

To be historically accurate, TO has stated in the past that he stepped down  
following the 1997 season to follow through with a promise that he made to  
Frank Solich many years earlier, that being that Frank would take over  the 
program after the 1997 season. Frank had been approached by other  football 
programs and Tom wanted to keep Frank at NU and hand over the  program to Solich and 
keep the coaching staff in house---thus keeping the  Husker Tradition/Legacy 
alive. In retrospect, TO admitted that  we really wasn't ready to retire 1997 
but he wanted to keep his promise to  Frank, he had some health issues, and 
wanted to spend more time with  Nancy. He did not retire from coaching to 
immediately run for political  office.
