I know the whole story. I said it was bizarre. Osborne suspended him for 6 games. He was head coach for 24 years and to my knowledge ran a clean program and had an excellent reputation. He made a bad decision by trying to be a good guy and give a player a second chance. He discussed this issue with his friend Gene Stallings who told him about how he handled the David Palmer situation. It was later determined that Phillips had serious mental issues.

The reason Osborne never won a championship prior to the mid 90's was because they could not win the Orange Bowl. Alabama got his attention when we manhandled Miami in 92. Osborne befriended Gene Stallings and changed his defensive strategy to mirror the system Stallings was running. Nebraska was always a very good high scoring offensive team. Once a Stallings like defense was implemented Nebraska was the dominate NCAA football team until Osborne retired in 1997.

I think he will be the next coach at Michigan. Michigan has been too quiet in their search and that kind of tells me that they have someone in the waiting and are just not saying anything.

He earned way more than we are paying him.  I honestly don't think we are in the position we are in today without him.  How much is an SEC Championship worth to the university?  How about the national championship that we are about to play for?  We should be paying him about the same as Kirby.

30 commits but allowed only 25. Plus, that many 3* guarantee a lot of 7-5 seasons in SEC.
