In light of the Urban Meyer cover-up news, do you think Osborne would have survived the 90's as head coach if it was in today's time of social media and hot takes? At the very least, without proper context and from the outside in, some of his behavior looks ~very~ morally suspicious.

@Comfortably Numb what about the hidden gun?

Plus I will add, after LP was gone TO still was in contact with him and continued to try to help and support him even when there was no benefit for the football program. That tells me a lot about Tom. I think it was a very hard decision for TO at the time and it was driven more by what would help LP than by what would help NU football. Even if it obviously ended up being the wrong way to handle it, as TO admits now

@HuskerNBigD What about the gun...? I don't think TO handled that the right way at all and what should've happened is much more cut and dried than in the LP situation. Look, I'm not claiming TO was any kind of saint but I do think a lot of people misrepresent or don't really understand the LP thing. It was not a win at all costs wild west environment but there may have been a few things that flirted with or stepped over that line. That should shock no one considering what our team accomplished in the 90's and virtually every team that has ever attained that level of success. Plus, when you're that good, the scrutiny gets turned way up. It doesn't mean questionable things aren't happening everywhere, just that there is no reason to look at a .500 level team or coach.
