Osborne Interviews Candidates for Head Coach

A private plane owned by Norfolk Iron & Metal has flown from Lincoln to Baton Rouge, and from Baton Rouge to Atlanta Sunday.  The Lincoln Journal Star is reporting that University of Nebraska Chancellor Harvey Perlman and interim Athletic Director Tom Osborne are on the twin-engine Cessna.

The eight-seater landed at Atlanta's Fulton County airport at 7:52 EST.  Prior to that, it stopped in Baton Rouge, LA for nearly two hours.  Bo Pelini reportedly interviewed with Husker officials at that time.

Buffalo Head Coach Turner Gill is also set to interview for the Nebraska Job.  Buffalo Athletic Director Warde Manuel offered his support for Gill, saying he's worked hard and deserves an opportunity to interview with Osborne.
