It never changes. Football is a game of repetition, mental and physical. You may try to articulate it a little different, but it's the same thing: Get better players, make fewer mistakes, and drill the fundamentals into your players' heads. The rest of it is a joke. Teams aren't winning because of what they had for breakfast or what some coach said in the locker room.”
Barry Switzer quote
“You're a great player. I love you.”
Barry Switzer quote
“It was a horrible, terrible, atrocious offensive football game.”
Barry Switzer quote
“In pro football you're a number. If you don't play well, you're gone and no one cares. But in college, coaches recruit young men and ask them to become a part of their family and help you become a productive citizen for the next 30, 40, 50 years of your life. Your coaches help you develop into something you can be proud of and they are there for life.”
Barry Switzer quote
“The one thing I wonder about is that those three guys in the review box. I know that all of them have prostate problems, because all three of them had to go to the bathroom at the same time and miss Vince Young putting his knee on the ground.”
Barry Switzer quote
The key to his success? He's just faster than the guys who are chasing him.”
Barry Switzer quote
“It was like a heart transplant. We tried to implant college in him but his head rejected it.”
“Some people are born on third base and go through life thinking they hit a triple.”
“Friends are like elevator buttons, they either take you up or they take you down.”
