Coaching career
Osborne is best known as the former head coach of the Nebraska Cornhuskers, UNL's football team. Osborne was the head coach from the 1973 season until 1997, and led the Huskers to 13 conference championships and three national championships (1994, 1995, and 1997). It should be noted that his teams came agonizingly close to the National Championship on multiple occasions prior to 1994, including the 1981, 1983 and 1993 seasons. The Cornhuskers were 12-0 entering the 1984 Orange Bowl game and ranked #1 in the country for the entire season. Nebraska scored a late touchdown against the then #5 ranked University of Miami to get within 1, 31-30. Rather than attempt an extra point to finish with a tie (and probably win the National Championship), Osborne opted to attempt the 2-point conversion to gain the lead. Had the attempt been successful, the team would probably have won the game and the title. The attempt failed, giving Miami the victory and the 1983 national title. But it cemented his reputation as a great coach who had his teams play to win. A college football game between Colorado State University and the Air Force Academy. ...

Legacy In his quarter-century as head coach, Tom Osborne never won fewer than nine games in a season. His 255-49-3 record gave him the best winning percentage (83.6%) among active NCAA Division 1-A coaches at the time of his retirement and the fifth-best of all time. As of 2006, only Joe Paterno has reached 200 victories in fewer games. But Osborne, who went on an NCAA record 60-3 run over his final five seasons, won 250 games faster than any coach in Division 1-A history. Osborne was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1999. In 2000, he received the Jim Thorpe Lifetime Achievement Award. Osborne will be forever linked with Husker running back Lawrence Phillips who was allowed back on the team after assaulting a former girlfriend after a football game. Some believe that Osborne wanted to keep Phillips on the team in order to win the national championship. Osborne contends that the structure of football was necessary in Phillips life.

While Osborne captured populous Omaha and Lincoln, Heineman sealed his victory in rural counties and key population centers in western and central Nebraska’s critical Republican battleground....
...it was the political impact of two gubernatorial vetoes that appeared to lift [Heineman ] into a late surge, especially in Osborne’s congressional district.
Heineman’s opposition to Class I rural school reorganization and the granting of resident college tuition rates to the children of illegal immigrants cut into Osborne’s support.
Osborne declined to sign referendum petitions seeking voter repeal of the rural school legislation and said he would have signed the resident tuition bill." [2]
