Could Osborne do it?

First, this is in no way an attack on TO. I defended him in the early 70ies when fans were calling for his head.

Why would we think TO could turn things around? Has he ever had to turn a program around? NO. He inherited Davaney's program and a staff of experienced assistants and several of them stayed with him for years. Pelini got a program that was in shambles. Built a staff and has

brought us back to the 9 wins a season level. With an extra game or two every year and weak competition in those games I'm not impressed by

this.

If we want someone to turn things around then let's find someone who has been there and done that.

How about Bill Snyder? Heh, heh.

I realize Snyder won the B12 in 2012, but he typically beats Texas and loses to the top teams.

Wow, just wow. Do you watch college football? In 2003, everyone had pretty much just anointed OU the NC. In the Big 12 Championship, KState took OU behind the shed for a beating of a lifetime. KState was headed to the NC game in 98' but they lost to A&M in the Big 12 Championship. KState would have won the NC in 03' had Roberson not got hurt during the season when they lost to Marshall. Bill Snyder is probably one of the best football minds and coaches college football has ever seen.

Lightning does hit the same spot (or almost the same spot) more than once, contrary to folk wisdom. It could be simply a statistical fluke (i.e., with all the lightning that occurs, eventually lightning will strike somewhere near a previous lightning strike within a short period of time). It could also be that something about the site makes it somewhat more likely to be struck. - National Severe Storms Lab

Osborne never changed his philosophy.

He changed his offensive and defensive schemes repeatedly, and overhauled his recruiting philosophy.

Tom Osborne may have maintained the way he treated and molded young men, but he changed his football repeatedly until he got it right, and that took him 20 seasons.

Tom had teams that defined badassery.

Even in defeat.

I want that

I want it now.

I don't care who brings it back.

I just want it

I want it that way
