I suggest anyone who wants to know what kind of person Switzer is, should read “Down and Dirty” by Charles Thompson.
The Oklahoma program under Switzer was just about as corrupt as it is possible to get.
Sounds to me like in his own crude way he’s trying to endear himself to the sports journalism community.
Switzer and Thompson are not enemies. If you really want to know who Switzer is then read “Bootlegger’s Boy”
