Tom Osborne
NE, US
Nebraska head football coach and College Football Coach Hall of Famer
This legendary Nebraska head football coach compiled a remarkable record of 255-49-3 during his 25 seasons with the Huskers. His 36 years at Nebraska is the longest tenure for a Nebraska coach and the longest ever in the Big 8/Big XII. Osborne's last five Nebraska teams put together the best five-year run in collegiate football history with an amazing 60-3 record, including five consecutive 11-win seasons, back-to-back national championship titles in '94 and '95, and a shared national title in '97. Upon retirement, he earned an immediate ticket to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1998, waiving the customary three-year wait for induction into the Hall.
