From Tom Brokaw's NOW tv show, Bob Costas interviews newly hired Dallas Cowboys coach Barry Switzer in 1994.

It's interesting to note that Barry Switzer holds the NFL record for most playoff wins (e.g., 5 playoff wins) by a head coach in their first 3 seasons on the job. From 1994-1996, Switzer's Cowboys were 34-14 in the regular season, 5-2 in the playoffs, they appeared in 2 NFC Championship Games, and they won Super Bowl 30. That win resulted in the Cowboys becoming the first team to win 3 Super Bowls in 4 years. If you add the fact that Switzer won a National Collegiate championship as an assistant coach and 3 National Collegiate championships as a head coach, one could argue that Switzer is one of the greatest football coaches of the 20th century.

Still cannot believe there has not been a movie done about him or 30 for 30

[@rog9601]

He has quite a story and a personal one at that, it would be a go.

@@rog9601 It would be a good watch; although I will always believe Barry won because of Jimmy's talent. Enjoy listening to Barry over the years. Respect.

The "media" don't want to hear Barry's story. They view him as a privilaged white guy. Who, profited off a black players. OU fan here. My 2 favorite OU players are The Boz. And Leroy Selmon. And Lucious, and Dewey Selmon. And Charles Thompson. And .............
