“Frank offered me the job and I turned it down because I had a better job at Oklahoma,” Switzer said.
He has no regrets or second thoughts about not coaching at Arkansas.
“Hell no. I don’t have any regrets about turning that job down. I had all of those great teams in the 80s. I knew I had the best program.

And yet we smoked them in the Orange Bowl.
But yes Oklahoma was definitely a great gig back then and would have been the choice of many coaches I'm sure. Couldn't blame him.

He was on Drivetime a few years ago and mentioned that Frank offered him the job when he retired but that he turned it down partially because '75 was his best recruiting class and included Billy Sims.
Of course that's probably BS because when Broyles retired, Switzer was a year removed from his 2nd straight NC. He wasn't going anywhere.

Compared to our most of our SEC bethren, we are at a little disadvantage. In state recruits with actual SEC level talent are low in number. We have to work really hard out of state to compensate. But, we already all knew that.

The population difference isn't that great. Bottom line, money talks and bullshite walks. Hardly anyone was cheating as hard as Barry at OU. It's really easy to recruit when you're making it rain.
