Barry Switzer Approves of the Arkansas Coaching Hire

December 6th, 2012 by · 1 Comment

Barry Switzer, when asked about Bret Bielema going to Arkansas, offers the most rational evaluation of the hiring:

“The first thing I heard today was that he grew up on a pig farm. That’s quite a start in my book. And my last memory was watching him hang 70 on Nebraska. Just those two facts are enough. Then, I hear that he’s out of the Hayden Fry-Bill Snyder-Barry Alvarez coaching tree. Oh, that’s enough for me to like a lot. Then, I hear he’s got a 27-year-old wife. Okay, we can stop. I like him.”
