Gov. Pete Ricketts with former Husker great Tom Osborne.
Tom Osborne said on Gov. Pete Ricketts' new podcast that part of the reason he went into sports was to please his dad.
The former Husker coach said he didn't really plan to be a coach and thought he'd go into college administration work. But after helping Bob Devaney, he couldn't leave sports and ended up taking over the coaching job from Devaney when he became athletic director.
On recruiting: "A big part of recruiting is being someone people want to be around," Osborne said.
