Coach Osborne is a great man. His focus on the process kept Nebraska at or near the top his entire tenure. 82 and 83 were special teams. 93 just missed. 94 was so satisfying in Miami. 95 team the best ever. 97 team resilient and sent coach out on top.
He served as a role model for so many. I looked up to him from the age of 8 and am grateful for all he’s done for NU.
Husker fans love Dr. Tom Osborne.
GBR.
And nothing about his handling of the Phillips situation. Bec if you do it changes everything about the "great man", "role mode", "grateful" horsesh*t, huh!
It has been said the he didn't need Phllips but not in his little mind.
@@robjohnson8861 you are a sad sorry troll. We all know that. Your commentary always pumps Wolverines and s. on Nebraska. your team didn't match up in 1997 and the Pac 12 Big 10 contract saved you from getting embarrassed on National 📺 that year.
Outside of the state of Michigan the rest of the USA remembers Nebraska as 1997 NCAA champs.
No one except Maize and Blue sycophants believe Michigan could've held up against NU.
Stop trolling. You're a stats hack with no feel for the actual game played on the field. Coach Osborne would try to help someone lost like you so I won't say much in his name.
There's no place like Nebraska. Your take on Coach Osborne only tracks with a very small minded minority.
But we all do remember one of your great coaches. "Take me to jail boys." 🥃
👮♂️ classic that you would ever open your mouth and slander Nebraska or Coach O.
Sixty some odd days before you get stomped into the ground by Ohio State.

@@robjohnson8861 hey look it's pea brain, for someone that hates a state, football program, thinks knows the state though never leaves the safe space basement.
But you know what I figured it out, you hate Osborne and people of Nebraska because we do what we can to help others while you didn't and don't receive help. Darn shame, there's still time, sure there's someone that can help you out
Thanks for the memories Dr. Osborne.
Osborne will always be the GOAT. Not just in football, but as a man in every aspect of life. Truly a man to look up to and emulate.
Yes, let's all remember his, win at all costs, handling of Lawrence Phillips. Listen, you know somebody close to Osborne repeatedly said, don't reinstate him, but he never listened and it will always follow his legacy. That and his losing bowl record. You can't be great if you have a losing bowl record. Period. His last game, against an OOC opponent, wound up being more losses, than wins. The bowl record validated the sorry conference he was in.
Rob Johnson salty!
@@robjohnson8861 They could've won the championship without Phillips they didn't miss a beat with Ahmad Greene
@@DJ-oy7cu Don't you know Osborne wished he he could have had a do over. The interviews I saw of Osborne afterwards appeared to be that of a man with heavy shoulders.
@@robjohnson8861 I'm sure he did. Personally I wouldn't have played the guy, but he failed to realize you can't save everyone. But I wouldn't call him a win at all costs coach he doesn't deserve that.
David Humm, Lawrence Phillips, Brook Bennger, Bob Devaney, and Keith Jackson R.I.P
oh man, i didn't know Dave Humm passed. one of our first true passers and he rode the Raiders bench behind Snake...they drafted him because he was a lefty too and he did a great job backing up a legend. RIP Mr. Humm.
Bobby Bowden R.I.P
Badger fan here, loved the video. Love football history, coach Osborne was a class act.
Classy man. Leading 48-0 over OU, Osborne still had Frost and Mackovica in for 1 more score. No telling how many games he ran the score up in padding his numbers where Carr may have been pulling his first string. And never forget his classy behavior in dealing with Phillips under the guise of caring about him.
@@robjohnson8861 More idiotic commentary from the loser boy and 30 IQ schlong sucker rob johnson.
@@robjohnson8861 why are u the one to judge a man?
@@themidwesternperspective8328 did you judge Biden and Trump before voting?
Update: 2021.
I looked at Carr's and Osborne's best wins in 97.
Leading IN by 31, Carr pulled Griese.
Leading IOWA St by 56, Osborne pulled Frost.
Anybody want to bet that Osborne was not running up the score and padding his best offense numbers by keeping his 1st string in longer than Carr did in every game?
i grew up in Western New York in the 60/70s..and still recall watching college football..and the game of the Century cemented my love for Nebraska football..and still, to this day, am a rabid fan..they played no prisoners..big..tough..no dram in your face football..they way it should be played..well coached..and teamwork before stars..how i wish it was like that today..but now they are transferring every time they do not get the ball..ffs..thx for these videos...
I never understood why the Bear flopped like he did in the 71 NC until recently. Ok, so he had routed Neb in their previous meeting, but that wasn't enough.
But then it dawned on me. In 1971, coaches voted national championships before the bowl games. AL knew almost a full month before the game that Neb was 1/2 the NC and nothing did they in the game would change it. Nothing.
How many times have we heard the comment, we still have everything to play for. Who was that true for in 71, Neb or AL? And there you go. Bama at best was playing for 1/2.
@@robjohnson8861 can't accept fact that Nebraska was clearly better team that night against Bama. It just bugs you that Nebraska's 4 out of 5 National Championships are against SEC schools. Get over yourself
@sorney98 LOL. Not as much as Neb's neighbor owning 4 consensus NCs vs Neb's 3 consensus does you. Who da F has Minn been for 60 yrs.
I so much get a kick out of thinking of about you prissing in the 90s thinking Neb was a real team vs the reality of now. At least your father and brother got to die before it got so ridiculously bad. I bet Pabst is a good friend of yours.
R.I.P. Keith Jackson
Tom Osborne is the greatest coach of all time! Go Big Red!!
"Yeah, I love him. He condoned my thug activity and maybe because of that, I'm dead." signed Lawrence "the abuser" Phillips. Maybe if Osborne kicked him of the team, maybe Phillips was still reachable.
@Paul Robinson Tom O. was 5-12 against Barry Switzer, son. Saban is by far the best college football coach there ever was and ever will be. To do what Saban has done in the modern era of college football, with the NCAA rules and enforcement the way they are today, is absolutely amazing. But the fact you would leave Barry Switzer off your list makes you a horses ass.
@@abc-jq4hi "Saban is by far the best college football coach there ever was and ever will be."
There are so many reasons this can be debated. for 1, He owns 4 of his 6 national championships from the BCS era, a truly despised system for picking the two best teams to meet for the NC game.
Let's look at the 4.
LSU vs OU (OU was defeated 35-7 in their Big 12 championship game). Had the same formula been used to pair the top 2 teams the 5 years before this game and the 9 years after, LSU would have faced USC (the AP NCs that year), not OU.
AL vs ND. We were all sick about how this game came to be. Sh*t ND had to go to 3 OTs at home to beat a bad Pitt team.
AL vs LSU. How did Bama lose to LSU, not win their conference and get to leap frog other teams.
AL vs TX. The only game of the 4 BCS NCs that any fan could embrace as being truly legit.
Can't blame Saban for being part of a bad system, but you can't anoint him king either for 3 of 4 of these games.
@Paul Robinson Urban Meyer was pretty damn great as well
@abc-jq4hi yet Switzer says Osborne's 90's Nebraska was better than any of his Oklahoma teams. That shows respect by coaches to each other. Maybe ask Saban about advice he got plus a practice he attended in 1996 while at Michigan State. Nick Saban is one of the many coaches to thank Coach Osborne for help
Great documentary! Tom O.... one of the best ever!
Mike Alstott Not one of, the best
@@colbsterino88 Cough, what?
*** 1st NC 22 years in. Has to be record for the "best" coach.
*** Avg 1 outright NC every 12.5 years. Again, has to be record for the "best" coach.
*** never less 9 wins, but a losing bowl record. Again, has to be record for the "best" coach.
*** never less than 9 wins and only finished in the top 5, 33% of the time. Bowden when winning 9 or more, 65%, Switzer, 77%.
Your definition of "the best" is different than mine.
Rob Johnson I said not one of, implying that he was THE best ever
@@colbsterino88 read dumbass. Every one of my references i referred to the best, not one of the best.
Rob Johnson I can tell you’re one of those people who escalate things VERY quickly, I did not mean to insult you in my reply, I just read it wrong, that’s my mistake
As Miami fan, still loving this
Enjoyed watching this. Much respect to Nebraska. BoomerSooner.
i miss the NU-OU Thanksgiving Games. for us a family rivalry with my cousins in OK. Great games and Great Times.
Main thing I liked the Oklahoma rivalry was always a good game. Better than the superbowl you guys beat us more than we beat you. But it was always a good game. Kind of miss Switzer. And Osborne both.
I agree with the California guy above. I miss my relatives and the nostalgia is too much.
@@robertpolnicky7702 I bleed Cornhusker Red, and I was 10 y..o. and saw the Huskers 1st National Championship on TV, The Game of the Century. I moved to CA in '95. You are right about Nostalgia, All those games we watched with our families as kids help date our memories and good times.
Can't wait for scott frost to add to this great documentary within the next 10-20 years!
nice joke
Won't happen. Frost will be gone in a few years. He's no Devaeny
or Osborne. Nebraska went down hill since joining the Big Ten.
lol
@@michaelluczak3019 They'd be a .500 team in the Big 12. It's gotten to the point where there's few realistic that could get Nebraska to what they were with Osborne. The athletes the caliber of what Frost had around him end up in Clemson, Tuscaloosa, Athens, Columbus, and closer to where they can contend for a national title. Other Big 10 teams have gained ground, Nebraska hasn't, and Frost's pretty much been left with a ship irreparable.
Frost can't even beat Illinois
Without a doubt the best college football team in 1997. Nebraska would of taken Michigan out behind the wood shed.
Please respond with the facts that you know about both teams. Obviously, very little.

How bout SOS for both teams?
How bout # of unranked teams that MI/Neb beat by less than 10 points.
How bout unranked teams MI/Neb had to go to overtime to beat?
How bout margin of victory over Baylor/CO?
How bout touchdowns scored by Baylor/CO?
How bout margin of victory in AP poll, margin of coaches poll, margin when combining both polls?
How bout number of ranked teams beaten in last 5 games.
With your stat. I count MI 9, Neb 2. HA! OWNED!
i'd say '95 was the best, won every game by more than 14 pts. '97 had 2 games that we almost lost.
@@robjohnson8861 actually strength of schedule is done at the end of the season, and who’s schedule was better in 97? Oh yea Nebraska, had more teams at end of season in the polls let alone in the Top 10. Maybe actually know how the polls vote. And let alone, a game in season can look good, but how did they finish. End of the day Nebraska had 5 teams in Top 25, 2 in Top 10. Michigan had 4, with only one team in Top 10.
Thank you for this! GBR!!
Thanks coach
I would have loved to seen Nebraska played Michigan that year to truly decide who was national champion I think Nebraska would have whooped them.
Nebraska was the better team that year.
Not sure who would of won, Michigan D was exceptional. Nebraska was an awesome team too. FSU was not far behind either team also.
@@Christianmusic001 And you brought 0 stats in making that claim. I'm baiting you. Don't go there.
@@robjohnson8861 The only thing you bait is someone else's schlong in your hands, dipshit 30 IQ boy.
@@robjohnson8861 - Vegas had Nebraska by 14 "Sporting News, Sportscenter, Boston Sports Online..."
Will always have mad respect for this man for what he did on the night of January 1, 1984. Could have simply kicked the PAT and played for the tie, would have been the only unbeaten team in the nation and it would have been very likely his team would have won the national title. Only other coach I have seen make such a gutsy call as that was Jimmy Johnson (Miami at Notre Dame) nearly 5 years later. And yes coach O's 94 team would have beaten Penn State had they played.
*"Before the kickoff against Miami,"*
* Neb's ultimate goal for the season was to win everything, right! But if that could not be achieved, what was 2nd? *"The NC."* 3rd, win ALL the games.
* How many of the pollsters (AP/coaches) would have said a tie gets Osborne the NC.
Miami was #5 and finished #1 with a 1 point win. Neb was #1 and fell to #2 with a 1 pt loss.
It was a complete Osborn blunder, like so, so many that littered his career.
@@robjohnson8861 blunder? Kinda like your life goal to be a troll on Husker videos? Time to get out of the basement and get a job.
Love that man!
Hey there Mr. Osborne I'll do anything to play and it sure would be an honor sir, to call you coach someday.
Thanks for the vid
His first autobiography is apt: More Than Winning. He talks about the process being more meaningful.
What a human being, what an American, what a Christian.
OH Nebraska how we miss OUR Glory days!!!!!
Tom Osborne the great quintessential gentleman of sports in general when Osborne retired Frank s o l i c h was promoted when he was forced out the program went downhill to stay which is which is it currently is in 2022 still this is a great documentary on Tom Osborn who still youthful for his age just like Dick Clark was anyway I'm enjoying store in this upload in my file great documentary
Devaney/Osborne/ a bunch of other guys/FROST....
Frank and Bo.
Hilarious....
Tom looking at his watch at the beginning of the 94 championship...as if he's got somewhere else to be
we played on their home field, on grass chewed up by the dolphins day before, in the heat/ humidity. No difference if they came up to Lincoln on the turf, in the cold, in front of our crowd, ya think would be worth 1 point???
He is my hero and role model. No doubt.
what adult says that?
College footballs greatest announcer narrating the biography of its greatest coach. Name another coach that followed a living legend and then surpassed him? The great Bob Devaney hand picked Osborne to continue the legacy he created. The GLORY of Nebraska football was in its Rock of Gibraltar consistency. Over a span of 25 seasons Osborne never won fewer than 9 games a season. How would you like a coach whose idea of a disaster was 9-3? After a succession of bowl disappointments, Osborne went after speed across the roster. The end result was the greatest combination of power and speed ever seen in a college team. Keep Alabama, Miami, Georgia, Ohio State or the Trojans of Southern Cal. Name your champ. The Huskers were better. The quiet man from Hastings, Nebraska did all his talking on the football field. A final record of 60-3 over his last five seasons. Three National Championships in the greatest swan song any coach ever had. From 1962 in Devaneys arrival in Lincoln to Osbornes glorious run ending in 1997 the Huskers were unparalleled. A record of 356-69 over 36 seasons! What Devaney and Osborne did will never be seen again. COLLEGE FOOTBALL'S GREATEST DYNASTY.
I would bet my paycheck im related to him some how we have alot of famliy out west and he look alot like my grandfather's people
I sure hope Tom Rhule watches this video
I think the Cornhuskers got screwed in 97 . They were the sole champion that year no way michigan stayed on the field with them.
Got the Crystal Trophy though!
I think the Missouri Tigers got screwed in 1997. If they could stay with the huskers Michigan could.
@@CarmieSchulz NU wouldn't have taken Michigan as lightly as they took Missouri, especially with a national championship on the line. Michigan that year had a great D, but a very mediocre offense. Nebraska was top 5 in both offense and defense. They would have crushed Michigan.
Thunder'sDad Yeah, like they crushed Colorado in their last regular season game. All I’m saying is they really weren’t un-defeated that year. Missouri got screwed. Washington also hung with them as Michigan would have.
@@CarmieSchulz No, they were undefeated that year and Missouri did not get screwed, they lost that game fair and square. We'll just have to agree to disagree.
whoops that was the 84 game(prv comment).. this was even better..
Just like in movies there's no one better to do voice-overs then Morgan Freeman. Well for college football there's no better voice over than Keith Jackson
Jurgen Klopp of Liverpool is cut of the same cloth.
Going for 2 in the '84 Orange Bowl is obvious to anyone who understands the most basic concepts of competition. Why this was so debated is beyond me. When you play, you play to win. DUH.
love tom osborne
There should be a way to thumbs down the thumbs down. Thank god for Coach Osborne.
What were they chanting at 129. ?
Can we rehire Tom Osborne at Nebraska?
Can anybody see this????????

Tom Osborne should never recruit Lawrence Phillips.
There was no red flags on Phillips during his recruiting. Had there been legal problems pop up during his recruitment sure but fact is Osborne took a chance.
It didn't workout, and that's it, Osborne did what he could to help Lawrence Phillips.
But look at the people that he helped non football wise, Terrell Farley who had alcohol problems thanks TO for helping him. Jon Vederal as well many other players.
Too bad Nebraska football is a thing of the past!
Whoever put the music in this program should've been fired, great story but the music choice was horrible.

@@robjohnson8861 You realize how much you contradict yourself? You're always saying how awful Lincoln is, why would anyone want to play at Nebraska. So if you think Nebraska is such a hard place to succeed why would you criticize Osborne for struggling with a coach who's at FSU with a lot more resources and talent to work with? Besides that Osborne ended up more successful, doing more with less, even winning more NC's than Bowden. Miami during his time was one of the best of all time. No coach had a good record against them. Sorry I have to keep putting in your place, but you make it so easy.
@@dadestarmysteries255 Whut? Stop drinking before posting.
You said, "why would you criticize Osborne for struggling with a coach who's at FSU with a lot more resources and talent to work with?"
Here we go again. When Osborne won, he was great. When he lost, those pesky excuses could bail him out. Please, dorfus, support how FSU had a lot more resources and talent that Osborne had. You know good and well you said something that is very hard to refute bec of the lack of readily available stats, but then again, your lip service is hard for you to prove too. Bring it..
You said, "Miami during his time was one of the best of all time. No coach had a good record against them." What coach had a losing record to so many Cane coaches like Bowden did? He sucked cept when he played Ozzy 6-2.
