Barry Switzer should be in the College Football Hall of Fame

Bobby Bowden, Bear Bryant and Tom Osborne all have losing records against Coach Switzer.
He was one of the first coaches to actively recruit African-American atheletes. He perfected the Wishbone offense. There are also many coaches in the NCAA and beyond who were mentored by him.
His influence in the game of college football is still felt today and it is wrong that the College Football Hall of Fame will not induct him.
The original excuse was that Coach Switzer was inelegible because he began to coach the Dallas Cowboys. That point was proved moot when Coach Tom Osborne of the University of Nebraska was inducted into the hall the year he retired.
I believe Coach Switzer is not in the hall right now because of a bias that exists in the College Football Hall of Fame. This is wrong and he should be awarded a place in the Hall of Fame, where he belongs.
