I know him the best, and he left an impressive record on and off the field over a long period which included a variety adversities. Perhaps at a later date I would answer "Scott Frost."

I confess I wasn't thrilled in the first few years after he took over from the Bobfather, but he continued to improve and demonstrated that he could both build character and win the big game.

This isnt even a question, not taking anything from Bob, but Tom was calling plays when he won his 2 championships . And the 25 years of head coaching with at min of 9 wins is something that just don

No comparison-with what he has done not only on the field but for the whole state of Nebraska-and done it all with integrity and class.

Why isn't Riley a stand alone option.... That is hard to say with a straight face. Also, Osborne over Devaney because I didn't exist when Devaney coached.

Devany got it started but Tom persevered and keep it going for 25 years. Built it and maintained it in a changing game environment and style.

Devany Is the one who turned a pathetic football program into a champion chip program. Osborne inherited a championship football program.

There would not be a coach Osborne at Nebraska if not for Bob Devaney. He had the foresight to take over as Athletic Director and make sure Tom Osborne had a chance to grow into the coach he became.

Devaney took a losing program and left it in the hands of an excellent head coach. Enough sais.

Bob started it all, hired Tom and got it all rolling.

Bob Devaney started and Tom Osborne continued Bob's legacy. Tom learned from Bob, not vice versa.

Considering that roughly 90 teams would be "tough" for Nebraska these days, I think you have to schedule tough teams. There wouldn't be a lot to choose from otherwise. Those lower level cupcakes are being scheduled by other teams too.

Need to be tested before big 10 begins. Should not be afraid of anyone.

The NFL has a pre season and nebraska should look at it like that. Get the players ready for the season. Conference play. Its a good way to build depth and get experience. They play toigh enough teams in the Big10 not to have to play them outside of the Conference.

Roy makes a valid point below. I also want to add that until the SEC goes to 9 conference games AND the selection committee starts putting more weight into the strength of schedule, we should keep scheduling cupcakes for non-conference games.

Nebraska needs time to develop game ready players before heading into the big ten.
