Don't get too excited, it will probably only be until the end of the week. As I may or may not have mentioned earlier in this crazy week, Osborne passed the NCAA head coach test Wednesday in order to go out on the road and recruit and keep prospective players committed to Nebraska after the Callahan firing.Hopefully, Osborne's status (although probably fading among kids 17-18 years old) will cement some prospect's decision making process in playing for the Huskers. Some of Callahan's assistants have been out in the trenches this week in living rooms talking to recruits and trying to hold the ship together.
Down To Two
This should come as a shock to no one who reads this, ESPN reported yesterday from an undisclosed source close to Lincoln saying that the final two candidates are Bo Pelini and Turner Gill. The announcement on which one, if either, would ascend to the head coaching role at Nebraska should come down soon. It seems like the whirlwind around Lincoln may finally be slowing down a bit with Osborne on the road and the hiring being left up to him and school administration.Hopefully we have an answer by the end of the week. Reports said it could be as early as today. Keep refreshing ESPN or any other source you're using to track this story the rest of the afternoon.
Here's a quote. How much of a polar opposite would this guy be from Callahan?
"We're not going to overload them with checks and 9,000 different things. We don't want our guys ever out there memorizing what to do." -Bo Pelini
