first of two national championships in 1982 (the other 1986). A certain Nebraska coach, hired in 1973, won the first of his three national titles in 1994 (then '95,'97). Like Freeman, both were rising young assistant coaches when hired for the head job. Schools that fire coaches who win 9 or so games a year typically live to regret it (looking at you, Huskers).
