Osborne Greatest of All Time

[huskernumerouno]

Well deserved, and earned in my opinion. Fans everywhere had the chance to vote for their favorite and if people think that they didn't vote multiple times then they are wrong. I am sure that people in Nebraska are not the on;ly ones that know how to vote more than once.

Looks like we knew how to do it best, though!

[REDSTEEL]

big thanks goes out to all of the obsessive/compulsive huskers who voted a bazillion times.

 

and yah... i was one of them.

 

That must have been the reason why my vote for Hayden Fry was a non factor in the voting process.

We freakin' rule at voting on online polls.

 

First, the greatest teams of all time... now this.

 

I think the Great Mr. EmCee Hammer said it best -- "You can't touch this!"

[MCAT800]

If you are considered among the top 3 all time, then that's pretty damn good.

 

No questions, Osborne and Bear - those are the best.

 

My biased opinion agrees that TO was slightly better.

 

Couldn't have said it better myself

Way to go TO

Congrats to Coach Osborne.

 

But in the end this because a battle of the computer geeks that took the human factor of the voting.

 

 

if i remember correct.. espn even said "come back tomorrow and vote"

 

saying that you can only vote 1x per day? idk for sure but i thought thats how it worked...

Coach Tom Osborne

CHEATERS! IS THIS HOW OSBORNE WON HIS GAMES.... BY CHEATING?? MACRO (CHEAT) ALL YOU WANT BUT WHO IS THE NCAA FOOTBALL COACH OF THE YEAR AWARD NAMED IN HONOR OF? PAUL "BEAR" BRYANT

 

 

The Bear had too many losing seasons in there before he finally started letting black guys play. Sorry, he's not best coach of all time....

 

OZ WINS!

Osborne was a wonderful coach and being voted as the Greatest of all time, and, I'm sure he'll be humble as usual. I'm sure he'll wonder why a vote should have been taken in the first place becuse every coach are doing the same thing...trying to teach young players. As a fan...I thank Tom Osborne for teaching his players and staff. I really do believe Osborne deserves it....but that's only my opinion..

[Bleeding Husker Red]

They'll say Nebraskans are so bored they had all the time in the world to vote. Since it's too cold to be out on our tractors.

 

 

yeah, well..our guy still won. So there.

[xkbubo]

whatever made that portion of the crowd think only Nebraskans voted for TO? I know there's many non-nebraskas who would do the same too.. out of knowledge and respect.

 

so they need to sit down and accept the fact that TO is the greatest college coat of all time ^^

 

the % would've been a little higher if us Nebraskans did countless ip changes. CMD ftw.

Losing seasons: Only one - 1st at Texas A&M - noted for Junction Boys book & Movie. This Coach Bryant team won the SWC championship 2 years later. Indeed, there were a few below par (less than 10 wins) years, during the '60s, when Bama won 3 national championships. In 1966, Bryant's 11-0 Crimson Tide finished behind 9-1 Notre Dame. This twarted Bama's quest for a three-peat.

Black guys: Ever heard of Sam "The Bam" Cunningham. "He was a USC All-American fullback in the 1970s whose performance led his team to beat an all-white University of Alabama 42-21 at Birmingham on September 12, 1970 in a primetime matchup that convinced (through his play) Alabama and its fans to let Coach Bear Bryant integrate Southern football. Jerry Claiborne, a Bryant assistant, said, "Sam Cunningham did more to integrate Alabama in 60 minutes than Martin Luther King did in 20 years." This was the plan of Coach Bryant with the assistance of Coach John Mckay of Southern Cal Trojans that changed the face of college football in the South. Prior to this time state laws in Alabama and throughout the deep south prevented intergration in athletics. Southern football? Yes, Coach Bryant was the leader in Southern football and throughout the nation.

 

In 1971 Coach Bryant adopted the wishbone offense. That plus the addition of black players gave Alabama a great decade in the '70s with national championships in 1973, 1978, & 1979.

Yes, Coach Osborne was a great at Nebraska. Greatest ever? Thought that was settled when they named the coach's trophy. Oh, again, what is the name of the dinner to honor Coach Osborne?
