Your e-mail is somewhat reminiscent of some that I received in the early 90’s wanting me to fire Charlie McBride and others on my staff. We then proceeded to win 60 games and lose 3 over the next 5 years and such talk subsided considerably. We have won 29 games in 3 years and may very well win 30. Very few coaching staffs have won 10 games a year in their first 3 years, and that would include some of the greats of the profession, such as Bear Bryant, Woody Hayes, Bo Schembechler, etc.
I wish you well. I thank you for caring.
Best wishes,
Tom Osborne

So he won’t fire Watson which we all knew so lets pray everyday that Watson gets a job elsewhere this offseason otherwise it will be another close but no cigar year next season.
Go Big Red!!
Especially considering teams played only 10 regular season games back then.Mosskid84 said:. . . Very few coaching staffs have won 10 games a year in their first 3 years, and that would include some of the greats of the profession, such as Bear Bryant, Woody Hayes, Bo Schembechler, etc.
WIth all respect, I think you're wrong. If he really didn't care for Watson, he wouldn't have responded. Frankly, the fact that he DID respond at all is a surprise, so a nonresponse would have been completely ambiguous. The fact that he came out in support of Watson speaks volumes, IMO, especially because it would seem to make it harder for the team to try and get rid of Watson if that was their intent.And what if he does think its an issue? Do you honestly think he's go to reply "Yeah, Watson sucks a big one, we're trying to get rid of him as soon as we can. Thanks for caring."? This was a form letter, go ahead and send him a complaint about any coach on staff, you will get the same exact response word for word.
I lol'ed!!Maybe you should send one to Bo..... you know to make sure. I'll save you the time.......
YOU THINK YOU KNOW EFFIN MORE THAN ME YOU STUPID EFFIN IDIOT. YOU EVER SEND ME ANOTHER EFFIN EMAIL ABOUT EFFIN ANYTHING AND I'LL SEE TO IT THAT YOU NEVER SEND ANOTHER EFFIN EMAIL AGAIN YOU EFFIN IDIOT. :LOLtartar
I did not email him directly all I did was email the AD department and a few days later I got this response from Anne saying it is a message from Tom. So they don't have a direct email to him but it went to the AD office. You can go to Huskers.com and I selected the "ask the Athletic Department optionSoooo..

What's Toms email address?
None of my friends or family ever seem to reply back to my emails.
Maybe he will remember me.
