I have a book by Charles Thompson who is interestingly a Black Quarterback who played for Switzer.
He basically says that Oklahoma under Switzer was just about as corrupt as a program can be. It was all there, drugs, girls provided for sex basically, you name it, Switzer did it.
24 Switzer was the Bill Clinton of college football. If he broke rules and got away with them, he’d just break more rules and dare you to catch him.
My memory is slipping, but I seem to recall that Switzer was caught in an adulterous relationship with the wife of 1 of his coaches at OU back in the 1980s. Someone made a joke about it incorporating those PSA commercials popular at the time, i.e., "It's 11:00 ... do you know where your child is?" To wit ...
OU and Barry Switzer are coming to town for the big game. Do you know where your wife is?
