Former Oklahoma Sooners and Dallas Cowboys head coach Barry Switzer was on Dallas-Fort Worth radio station 105.3 FM 'The Fan' on Thursday evening and was asked about the Longhorns football team and new head coach Charlie Strong. Switzer had a variety of negative things to say, including calling Strong 'Charlie Weak' and describing the Texas offense as "terrible."
With that said, Switzer did add that he admires Strong and had high praise for Texas sophomore quarterback Tyrone Swoopes.
Here is what Switzer had to say:
"Well it's down to Charlie Weak right now. They got problems, but I admire him for being old school. He got seven guys who didn't want to believe in what he asked them to do and he got rid of their ass. And that's the thing to do. I don't know what kind of uproar would have been made if I'd been coaching there or Jackie Sherrill or Freddy Akers had done something like that, but he got away with it and I admire him and I'm glad he can. I think it just takes time and I know he's a good a football coach hell, he's from Arkansas, that's why about 70 miles from where I grew up. So he's got problems because of talent base. All that you fiction writers always said that Texas recruited the best players that were and ranked them up there one, two ,three in the country well they're not as quite as good maybe as some of the others and maybe they're just coaching better. I know they coach good at Baylor and I know they coach good at Oklahoma. But anyway, we'll find out but it's going to take some time. I hope they give him some time."
" I don't live in their house, it's difficult to talk to about someone when you don't live in their own damn house and know what's going on. But I just see and look and know and talk to other people and have my own opinions and evaluate things about what's in play. They played hard the other night. They tried hard on defense. They're not very good on offense. They're terrible on offense. I tell you what, the quarterback, I like the quarterback they put out the other night. Kid's got potential. He's got a chance to be a good one big, fast, strong. Hell, he can go out how many freshmen, rookies go out there the first time and go 7-for-7? Not many can do it."
