ColoradoHusk Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 This is some odd trivia, but I thought it would be fun to do, while in the midst of a coaching search. In the fall of 1997, other than the coaching staff, AD, families, etc. who was the first person to know that Tom Osborne was going to retire and Frank Solich was going to be named the head coach?

Average coach, but did have a hell of offense going. Running and passing. Coached Manziel and Mahomes. NFL ties, but I'd assume will be in the Rhule category of making mad money to stay at home. 2 minutes ago, ColoradoHusk said: This is some odd trivia, but I thought it would be fun to do, while in the midst of a coaching search.

Without looking at any response. I am going to assume it is relevant to today...I would assume a Husker player, but for some reason Bobby Bowden creeps in (unsure why)...so I am going with Trev?

The answer I am looking for has not been said, and this person isn’t very relevant to current days Nebraska football. This person isn’t someone that Osborne told or shared info with, and again it’s not Bill Byrne, any family members, or coaching staff from back then. Quote Link to comment

I'm going to say as a final guess Tom's personal physician. 1 Quote Link to comment
