Tom Osborne never won less than 9 games in a season.....

[c_broadus]

There is a meme going around that says basically:

"Tom Osborne started coaching in 1973 and didn't win his first national championship until 1994. Championships take time and patience."

While I don't disagree but it's alot easier to have patience for 21 years if you are winning 9 games or more every year and win 13 conference championships in that time period.

It also says that "Scott took over Nebraska at its absolute worst in program history" and that is not true. It's in it's worst shape since 1962 when Bill Jennings was fired but not EVER..

Bob Devaney took over a worst program than Scott Frost. Bob also won 9 games or more his first 4 years at Nebraska.

Since then Scott has turned it into the worst program in Nebraska's history though..

Also it took Tom Osborne 11 (1984) years to lose as many games as Scott has already (26)

Comparing Scott Frost's problems to Tom Osborne is a complete absolute joke...

 

[headcard]

TO also had 11 regular season games for most of his career.

 

[CameronKrazie86]

In basically 4 seasons, Scott's won only 2 more total games at Nebraska than Tom's best individual season (13-0).

 

[IM4NUalways]

He also lost like 9 times at home. That may not be correct but its close.

God Diviney won nine games or more in his first five seasons, dipped to six wins for the next two, then crushed it.

Look at those old schedules. There were fewer games, and it was rare to see a cupcake in the non-conference schedule. There just weren't games against directional schools and FCS programs back in the 1970's. In 1974, for example, the non-conference schedule consisted of Oregon, Wisconsin, Northwestern, and Minnesota. In 1975 it was LSU, Indiana, TCU, and Miami. Frost might not win one game per season with a lineup like that.

Yeah Osborne's very first win was against a top ten team (#10 UCLA).

 

[Charlie Marlow]

BO Pelini always won at least 9 games too.

 

[redwine65]

dr. tom ran the football
and used more then the qb to run

 

[Catch50]

Tony Davis ... 40 yard touchdown run. As an IB.

[huntered]

TO always had backup qbs prepared and ready to go
if a qb wasn't performing well, in came the next guy
frost may never turn into 500 mike riley
thick as a brick

 

[icnu525]

Was Tom in the big ten ?
A big diff there

Ha. I was kinda thinking the same thing.

And to think OU still isn’t an SEC member.

The thing about Jennings was, he wasn't shit as a coach but could recruit his ass off and Devaney walked into cupboards full of talent. Frost walked into a shit show depleted in talent.

enn St may have cost the 1982 team a chance at a natty.

I consider the 1983 team co-nattys with Miami. Also a very bad call vs PSU may have cost them another.
TO's run of consecutive 9 win season may be one of the best coaching achievements in the history of college football.

Yet, arguably, his best season/team was his first one. Had a 1,000 yard receiver and rusher, good O line. What did he do to build up the roster and team overall from that point?

I do not buy the premise even though it is often repeated like it is fact.

He flipped the roster over with a plethora of talent enough that we can play with anyone but talent isn't the issue. People thinking that tOSU is just gonna waltz in here and blow us out are are living in the same fantasy world they were when they were adamantly saying OU was gonna blow us out! I think this is absolutely hilarious!

So, you've cleaned out your 401K and put it all on NU to beat the spread?

 

[Sinomatic]

Osborne's first championship was in 1970 as he was on staff. I believe strongly that Osborne's newly installed I formation based offense at Nebraska as O coordinator was what pushed Devaney's team to the top.

Tom Osborne has all 5 rings boys and girls....

TO was surely a big part of that team's success, and I would never argue otherwise. But Devaney's NC teams were nothing short of remarkable on the defensive side of the ball.

What was the spread against OU again? More than against Bucky, how did that turn out for ya? No one on our schedule has manhandled or kicked our ass as we literally gift wrapped every single game as we've become the National Champions of giving every single game away and not the other way around. There is not a team on our schedule good enough to blow us out and that includes Bucky. I'mgonna be laughing at all the turds their money just like they did against OU. Hope you didn't put too much on the game, because you will be losing it and will be back to tell you I told you so. Let's make this clear, I'm not saying we will win the game by any means but it will not be anywhere near a blowout and they won't cover the spread.

Would be nice to have that again!

Its a 10 year rebuild.

Frosters act like Riley put the program on probation.

 

[Wyldcard]

Frosters act like Riley put the program on probation.

Solich, Pederson, Callahan, Pearlman, Eichorst, Pelini and Riley were the reason for the stench on the program when Frost got here. The whole thing with this team this year is ALL mental and youth at key postions. We've got the size, speed, strength and power enough to compete with anyone. Go ahead and laugh it up, every single loss we've had hasn't been because the opponent was better than us as a matter of fact we were the better and more talented team overall than any team we've played to date and that includes Sparty and Shitchicken. I'll call the OU game a wash. I'll post what I did in another thread, we've become the National Champions at gift wrapping and literally handing the wins to every one who beat us this year.

Bo winning 9/10 games a year and finishing 1/2 in the conference each year and putting dudes in the NFL each year is the reason for this season being shitty??

Stretch Armstrong and Gumby think that is a stretch.

I haven't bet anything on the game. But I'm not the one wagging his finger at everyone and claiming to be Johnny SuperFan. You, on the other hand, should bet the farm.

Bo got blown out right and left in almost every game that mattered.

 

[SuperBigFan]

Bo got blown out right and left in almost every game that mattered.

Nope, in fact in his last season, when he had "no talent" left from BC, he lost one game in blowout fashion.

And you know why he played in games that mattered...

Because he won games, a lot of them.

 

[StoneTempleHusker]

I've never lost a game as a head coach.

While I've never been a coach, I've only lost 3 or 4 insurance sales in my career.

$5.6M a yr. I get to pick my assistants.

Were they blowout losses?

And are you nice or do you get mad?

Wagging? I'm just stating a plain fact, Bucky ain't gonna blow us out and will be lucky if the cover the spread Saturday. I keep saying this, if we can ever find a way to get the fk out of our own way and play without the BS mistakes we would have a real chance to maybe win this game.
