A well-respected coach from the University of Nebraska who was voted 'greatest college football coach of all time' in a 2007 ESPN poll.

Thomas William Osborne is a former American football player, coach, college athletic director, and politician from Nebraska. He was the head coach of the Nebraska Cornhuskers football team from 1973 to 1997. After being inducted into the College Football Fame Hall in 1999, Osborne was elected to Congress in 2000 from Nebraska's Third County. He served three terms, returned to the University of Nebraska as athletic director in 2007, and retired in 2013.
