Can you put a cite on that criticism re: Switzer winning with JJ's players? It seems like perhaps a pretty narrow criticism. Especially because a) how good a coach is does not equal how good the G.M. is - even if the coach is also the G.M. and b) plenty of coaches have taken the same players and done far better or far worse than their predecessor the next year and c) it's pretty rare for even the same coach to win multiple titles with the same players.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Awwill ( talk • contribs)
The section about his time as coach from Oklahoma is badly biased and is written with disgracefully poor grammer. I would appreciate anyone who knew the story to fix it.

Did Barry write this article?
Almost all of the information in the article about Switzer's family needs citation. And actually so does everything else. A lot of new information has been added that is just a mess. I've started to clean it up, but could use some help. aww 16:06, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
Barry Switzer is widely sited online as having originated the saying "Some people are born on third base and go through life thinking they hit a triple." Does anyone have a definitive citation as to whether or not he actually said this, when, where, and if it was original with him? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 192.88.94.254 ( talk) 17:07, 21 March 2007 (UTC).
I understand the policies behind the removal of the bulk of this article, but the majority of the 'undocumented statements' came from 'Bootlegger's Boy', Switzer's autobiography. They need to be replaced until someone with access to the book can properly source the material. Either that, or someone with access to the book needs to properly source and replace the material. It represents the bulk of the subject matter on this topic. Again, the wikipedia policies exist for a reason, but when the material is coming from the autobiography of the subject, it is considerably less inflammatory.

Why wasn't the Superbowl win listed under Career highlights? Was that Superbowl totally the work if Jerry Jones? Starrymessenger ( talk) 23:51, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
[1] This article has lots of information on Switzer that perhaps can be incorporated into the article. I will try to delve in if time allows. -- Pink Bull 01:20, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
On this page it says Switzer, Paul Brown, and Jimmy Johnson have done it, but on Johnson's page it lists just Johnson and Switzer. I don't know the answer to which is correct. 170.232.128.10 ( talk) 15:51, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
It lists Pete Carroll as having won a college football national championship but the title in 2003 was an AP title not a BCS title. The AP was contractually obligated to name the same champion as the BCS. Then the 2004 season was vacated. — Preceding

Switzer has been involved with the Special Olympics for nearly 30 years. I do not know if this really fits in the article but it would be nice to see. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.141.105.2 ( talk) 16:22, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Barry Switzer/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.
The Early Life and Career section has several typos where text appears to have been cut and pasted. Since I don't know the fellow's life story very well, I don't know how to fix it. |
