Tom Osborne was coach to at least 800 different players as a head coach at Nebraska, assuming he brought in about 30 scholarship and walkon players per year and inherited 50 or so more.
Among those 800, a small fraction had trouble with the law and super tiny fraction had major crimes put to their names.
I'd say TO's character judgment was pretty darn good.
It's sad we have fans now who need to reinvent history and throw barbs at a man like TO to justify their defense of guys like Perlman and Pederson.
