Eight years ago Nebraska legend Tom Osborne retired.
According to one of the stories written at that time,
"The 60-year-old coach said he was retiring because of
health problems and to spend more time with his family
and at church. He had heart bypass surgery 13 years
ago and was hospitalized with an irregular heartbeat
last month."

So much for staying retired!

This from ESPN.com:

Former Nebraska football coach Tom Osborne plans to
seek the Republican nomination for governor instead of
a fourth term in Congress...

The decision to run took him more than a year, he
said. Osborne, who had open heart surgery 20 years
ago, said he had a physical and talked with his doctor
before making decision, "to make sure I'd be vertical
for the next five years."

Retiring wasn't really an option for him, Osborne told
the crowd of about 100 people including family
members, well-wishers and the media. "I'm not really
good at retiring. I tried that one time and Nancy ran
me out of the house," Osborne said, referring to his
wife.

If elected, Osborne said that he intended to serve
only one term but would not rule out a second term if
he felt it were necessary.
