## Resource

Nebraska football lost a true legend this past Sunday with the passing of George Darlington, the longest-serving assistant coach in school history, at age eighty-seven. A cornerstone of three national championship teams under Tom Osborne, Darlington spent thirty transformative years on the Huskers’ staff, coaching defensive ends and backs, amassing an astonishing 304 wins and only 65 losses. Known for his unwavering presence—showing up at practices and sitting in the press box every game day—he was the sole assistant coach present for all 25 seasons of Osborne’s tenure. Before Nebraska, he played at Rutgers, earned degrees from Stanford, and began his coaching career at San Jose State before Osborne brought him to Lincoln. Even after retiring in 2010, his legacy lives on through the countless players he shaped and the indelible mark he left on the program.
