In 1945, the OU regents decided football was the path to repair the state's dust bowl image. All they needed was the right coach. OU flew in Jim Tatum, who brought a prospective assistant with him to the interview. The regents came away so impressed with the assistant, they offered Tatum the job on the condition Bud Wilkinson be part of the staff, too. Tatum left for Maryland after one year, Wilkinson took over and the OU dynasty was full steam ahead. By the time Wilkinson retired, OU had won three national titles and held the longest winning streak in college football history. -- Jake Trotter
