A Salute to Nebraska's Tom Osborne: A 25-Year History

By The Lincoln Journal Star

More Than a Coach: A Legacy of Integrity

Through the expert reporting and evocative photography of the Lincoln Journal Star staff, A Salute to Nebraska's Tom Osborne captures the essence of a man who redefined collegiate athletics. Over a legendary span of twenty-five years, Coach Osborne made winning a way of life—not just on the scoreboard, but in the character of his Cornhusker players.

This volume offers an intimate look at the man behind the headset. Readers will explore Osborne’s life before his arrival in Lincoln, his steadfast devotion as a family man, and his profound impact as a humanitarian. The book also provides a poignant look at one of the program's most difficult chapters: how Osborne navigated the tragic death of Brook Berringer with grace and leadership. It is a vital historical record of a quarter-century of excellence in the heart of Nebraska.
