Not sure you can list Riley. Teams closed the gap over the years while he was our coach. We were blessed he left.

Well we tried a Gomer, Gary, Howard, John, and Lincoln. Took us a while to recognize there was a winning pattern.

And don't remind Okie that the bootleggers boy, and really their best coach, was born in Crossett, AR and was a lifelong Razorback. Just like Bama's greatest coach was an Arkansan, so was Kentucky's and Aggies. Auburn's best coach was an Arkansas, South Carolina's best coach was a Coach at Arkansas before, Ole Miss's 2 of 3 best coaches were Arkansans, and Lane spent some time in Arkansas as a kid and Tennessee's best coach was a Hog coach first. There are probably a few more. But the moral of the story is..... Arkansas can't keep great coaches in state.
We are well aware of Switzer’s roots.
Also you forgot to mention Jimmy Johnson.

You could maybe add Chuck Fairbanks to the list. Coached from 1967-1972, 3 Big 8 titles, a .728 win%.

Um… Auburn’s “best” coach was from Alabama, followed by another from Georgia. Get your shite straight hoss.

See a pattern there?
Our current coach is named Brent.
By the way, the Whorns named their stadium after an OU player. That was mighty gracious of them.

It's a clear strategy. OU is one of the few schools with 4 100+ game winners

If you've ever been to Hollis, it is obvious that the town is almost in Texas. My uncle lived on the Red River and then moved to a house where their back yard was in the Texas panhandle.
Hollis, Oklahoma, was founded in 1898 on land formerly part of Greer County, Texas. In 1896, the U.S. Supreme Court incorrectly ruled that Texas' boundary was formed by the south fork of the Red River instead of the north fork, which had served as its boundary, thus moving Hollis from Texas to Oklahoma. DKR was from Texas, not Oklahoma.
