There was never one like him before and will never be another going forward.

We were lucky to have him.

It’s easy to monday morning QB, but i am 90 percent sure there would be more national championships with Switzer as Coach…

best recruiter, best motivator, best coach.

rare talent. Too bad he got boondoogled, but such is life.

Still love seeing Switzer news and around. HE’s da man, as they say….!

Boggs, Hurt, Soldan…like Trammel & the gang – but that was a stellar group.

Thank you Coach Switzer for being a good face for OU football —– Boomer Sooner !!
