With the success that Devaney had here at Nebraska and the culture he instilled in the program during his time here, one might wonder if things might have changed if he did not become AD after his time as coach. This is just a hypothetical because of what we have seen since Osborne retired in 97. If Osborne would have became the AD after like Devaney things could have been completely different then they are now. Nebraska did win 9 games a season and make it to 2 title games with TO as AD. Its all what if, but one has to wonder if the how the program would have looked if Osborne doesn't completely step away until 2008. This just seems interesting to me because of having Frost as our coach now and trying to bring us back to national relevance, and because of what Wisconsin has done with Alvarez as the Coach and AD.
