Switzer Named Oklahoma Coach In Wishbone Era Rise
Barry Switzer, architect of Oklahoma's wishbone, was set to become head coach after the Special search committee endorsed him to replace Chuck Fairbanks. Switzer, 35, has spent seven Oklahoma seasons as offensive coordinator and assistant head coach, shaping Heisman winner Steve Owens and backs Greg Pruitt and Owens. He studied under Broyles, MacKenzie, and Fairbanks as his coaching philosophy guides a program that rebuilt NCAA rushing and total offense records in 1972.
