		Switzer was behind it all, and if there was one rule, it was that you never pass the ball on second and 5.
		Switzer may have left Oklahoma in a swirl of controversy — his program had become racked by scandal and was placed on NCAA probation — but he never stopped loving the university.
		Switzer’s neighbors are the brothers of the Pi Kappa Phi house.

		The title is not an exaggeration; Switzer's father was a womanizing, hard-drinking Arkansas bootlegger, while his quiet mother battled mental problems and an addiction of her own.
		Switzer installed the offense and the Sooners took off, figuratively and literally, as NCAA rushing records were shattered.
		Switzer was no stern disciplinarian, he readily admits it, and this "lack" of discipline created a perception of an outlaw program--a perception that came home to roost in 1989, when he was forced to resign by the OU administration during a series of troubling incidents that ultimately put the Sooners under NCAA probation.

	Cowboys' Switzer arrested
		Switzer's arrest comes at a time when Jones is trying to clean up the team's "bad boy" image with everything from rules on off-limits bars to cameras in the summer camp dorms.
		Switzer, 59, said he arrived at his Dallas home on Saturday to discover that he had nine house guests, three of those ages 2, 10 and 11.
		Switzer said he was glad to "have to live" with what happened instead of one of the children grabbing the gun.

	Respect as pro coach unattainable for Switzer
		Switzer won three national championships at OU, but when he left, the Sooners were seen as a renegade program, the result of a dormitory shooting incident and several players in trouble with the law.
		Switzer's inability to forge a meaningful relationship with Aikman might have been the biggest failure of his tenure.
		It was one final surprise from Switzer, who ended his time with the Cowboys still unable to gain the respect he needed to survive as their head coach.

		But his directives are weakened by the presence of Switzer, who never has hidden his basic contempt for anyone who makes a big deal about the private lives of his players and how they fill their idle hours.
		Jones denies ever directly informing Switzer he better shape up, but the owner told a Dallas newspaper recently, "I didn't go to every player on the team and say this is the way it's gonna be around here starting today, but once the word got out, they all knew they were part of it.
		Switzer accepted blame, sort of, then justified having possession of the weapon as a better alternative than allowing it to find its way into the hands of some youngster who were in his house.

		Switzer was miffed that second-round pick Sherman Williams was a no-show because he hadn't signed, and that overweight guard Nate Newton showed up nearly an hour late.
		For Switzer, it's a chance to show that he can be as successful at the professional level as he was at the college level, where he led Oklahoma to three national championships.
		But if Switzer can show that he is in control, much the way Johnson had been, then the Cowboys will have a fighting chance to remain a power for the rest of the decade.

		When his college career was over, Switzer realized his calling was coaching; Broyles gave him the opportunity by letting the young lineman join his coaching staff.
		Switzer writes he was looking for an offense to revolutionize college football; an unorthodox, high-risk option offense, known as the "wishbone," captured his attention.
		As a result, Switzer was more than comfortable approaching fl athletes--at a time when other major programs were tentatively recruiting minorities--while reassuring parents that he would take good care of their sons.
