I just heard this story over the weekend from friends who were friends with the woman he did it to back in college. This is absolutely a pattern. That issue should have made front-page headlines and gotten Mickey kicked off the team immediately, but it was covered up, and it's only being talked about now because he did it again. I'd like to say I can't believe they hired Mickey after that incident 30 years ago, but the more I hear about Osborne the more I can 100% believe it. 4 2 Quote Link to comment

How did he handle it poorly if he didn't hit her and instead just walked away? I'd say that is about the best way you could handle a really bad situation. 1 Quote Link to comment

For all the good Osborne's done and the good qualities he possesses as a person, which are plenty, he really bought into his own hype so much in a way that resulted in too much damage and carnage to others. 4 2 Quote Link to comment

And he personally ran interference with the local PD and news outlets to suppress stories about his players. My friends who witnessed this in person thought I knew. 1 Quote Link to comment

This is why I said earlier in this thread that HR for Husker Athletics is not raising enough red flags, or else they are and the administration is overlooking it. If Frost had issues with drinking and was missing visits for key recruits, that is something that in most organizations would result in immediate termination (if it's impacting job performance). I cannot imagine these habits just started late in his 4th season too and it explains a lot for why this team continued to lose games. As for Joseph, I agree with you that his past misconduct at a minimum should have caused pause in bringing him on as a coach, and if anybody in HR or the athletic administration knew the full story, it likely would have meant passing on him taking over as interim HC.

Skerbaby Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Its also pretty much bull$%^&. Just like Frank getting all these student pregnant and every coach since then assaulting people/drinking too much/ having affairs etc. I have family on the police force in Lincoln and I worked in the media there during the late 90s. Those things were usually unfounded. 2 1 Quote Link to comment
