Tom Osborne
Ever tried to argue that Tom Osborne isn't one of the greatest college football coaches? Good luck. The man practically breathed football, turning Nebraska into a powerhouse that was about as subtle as a freight train on a quiet night. And let’s not forget that 60-3 run in the '90s. It's like every game was Osborne's personal mission to prove gravity was optional for his players. Try debating his record without getting a Cornhusker fan to bring up every single win... in detail.
