If memory serves me right...so should have TO. We all know how that ended.

"1978 was a pivotal year in his tenure. After six seasons, Osborne was reportedly considering leaving Nebraska for the head coaching job at Colorado, which had become available after Bill Mallory was fired. According to sources, Osborne had a surprise visit to Boulder and seriously considered the move, primarily due to the more relaxed atmosphere in Boulder compared to Lincoln. He ultimately decided to stay at Nebraska."
I mean Tom never should've been fired but he took over two time national champions and mostly Bo Pelini'd it in the 70s.
