Nebraska football head coach Matt Rhule is preparing for his second season with the program. Despite his relatively new position, he still makes sure to keep in touch with the legends of the past. That includes Husker great Tom Osborne. Rhule appeared on The Jim Rome Show earlier this week and talked about what the former Nebraska head coach can still bring to the table.

Osborne still regularly shows up at Huskers practices, offering Coach Rhule insight. The latter gave Osborne a glowing review as Nebraska prepares to embark on the 2024 campaign. Osborne is still very active in giving Rhule advice, even diagramming play ideas.

He’s been everything to me. He’s helped me on a personal level. He’s spoken well of me. He’s come in and drawn up plays for us last year. We lost a quarterback and started running a little more option. At 87-year-old he comes in and grabs the marker and it’s amazing the detail.

The intertwining of current and past Nebraska football personnel is something that makes Lincoln special. As far as Rhule is concerned, he will look to establish his own story with the program as the Huskers look for their first season-opening win since 2019.
