[Husker] A Different Take on Tom Osborne

[richards todd]

Dr. Tom said on ESPN Radio yesterday that he hopes to
work himself out of a job.  He didn't estimate how
long that would take.

I think a few things are crystal clear about the
Interim AD situation:

1.  T.O. doesn't have a lot of answers right now.

2.  T.O. took the Interim position to bring some
stability to the program.

3.  T.O. Doesn't know for sure what will become of the
current football coaching staff after this year is
complete.

4.  T.O. will attempt to bring some people back into
the program who have previously been involved with the
football program who have been dis-enfranchised for
whatever reason.

5.  T.O. has full authority in the Athletic Department
and is only obligated to keep HP informed, and stay
within the budget unless prior approval to exceed the
budget is given. 

6.  T.O will be available to assist BC and his staff
in any way they see fit.  They will have to ask though
because T.O. will not micro-manage.

7.  The next 5 games are critical in regards to the
fate of the current coaching staff.

I get the feeling from listening to T.O.'s own words
that he has made few if any permament decisions yet. 
T.O.'s use of the word dis-enfranchised was quite
interesting and refreshing to hear that kind of
honesty.
