For'the last 25 years, Tom
Osborne has taught numerous ath
letes about football and life.
When he retired from coaching
after the Orange Bowl in January, he
decided to return to a place he hadn’t
been in a long time - behind a desk in
a University of Nebraska-Lincoln
classroom.
“It’s kind of run a full circle,”
Osborne said. “That’s where I started
out, and that’s where I am going to
endup.”
Osborne’s plans for the near
future will consist of teaching two
classes, working with University
Foundations to raise money for a

library addition, speaking at organi
zations, getting more involved with'
the Teammates Program and serving
as a Cabela’s consultant.
Since retiring, Osborne said he
hasn’t felt any withdrawal symptoms
from football. But that’s because he
has stayed busy with various func
tions.
“I feel like I did during recruiting
season,” Osborne said. “But I never
felt bad. I was never emotionally
exhausted or so tired I couldn’t func
tion right. I feel good enough to
coach some more. That’s probably
one of the problems. If I were
exhausted and burned out, it would
be easier to step aside.
“I’ve deliberately kept myself
pretty busy because I know it would
n’t be a good idea to all of a sudden
start sitting and staring at walls. A lit
tle bit (of these activities) is filling
the void, but sooner or later there is
no question you will come face-to
face that you aren’t coaching any
more, and I think that will be an
adjustment and be difficult, but it’s
something that has to happen.”
To help keep himself involved
with football and students, Osborne
asked Chancellor James Moeser if he
could return to the classroom in the
fall.
“I know I will miss contact with
players and coaches, and I think that’s
part of my attraction to the teaching
area because I was very much torn
when I was 28 years old,” Osborne
said. “I really loved teaching and I
