You know any players that played for Bryant, Switzer or any other great Coach from that era?

Saban chews out A.J. McCarron and slaps the hell out of him on the arse on national TV over one poor play in garbage time?

A.J. McCarron goes on the win two national titles.

Switzer criticizes Dupree for spending December eating fried chicken in Mississippi and not being in shape for the bowl, which cost them the game?

That mean ole Switzer.

Dupree was a head case and had bad influences back home, notably Ken Fairley. Very little real blame lies with Switzer. No coach, teacher, counselor, etc., can reach them all no matter how hard they try.

What does Switzer’s affair with an assistant’s wife have to do with Marcus Dupree?

This has nothing to do with Marcus Dupree...

Did you not get the context of what you quoted? You said, I figured tongue in cheek, "that mean ole Switzer" when you were discussing players being reprimanded during a game. How Switzer was getting on Dupree for eating fried chicken before a bowl game.

All I was say saying is Switzer is a scumbag....

Sorry you didn't get that...

Well, maybe it should - since this thread is about Marcus Dupree.

Lots of people in power positions are scumbags. Switzer’s affair with his DC’s wife several years prior has nothing to do with how he handled Dupree.

Oh, I got it. It’s just irrelevant.

If it makes you feel better, Switzer and Lacewell eventually moved on from it, and they worked together with the Cowboys in the ‘90s. Lacewell remained married to his wife too.

I would have been done with both my wife and Switzer for good in that situation, but that’s Lacewell’s business.

Switzer may have screwed Lacewell’s wife, but he didn’t screw Dupree. Dupree and Fairley did that.

Barry Switzer devoted an entire chapter to him in his autobiography, Bootlegger’s Boy. It’s an excellent book.

How Nick Saban treated AJ McCarron during one game at Alabama has absolutely no relevance to how Switzer handled Dupree during his tenure at Oklahoma. What an absolutely ridiculous comparison. Not all players respond to a certain type of coaching the same way. Tell me you realize that right?

You're legit arguing that Switzer did nothing wrong with Dupree and it was all on Dupree while Barry Switzer himself admits he did things wrong with Dupree Literally no one is saying that Dupree didn't create issues for himself but I think I'm going to believe Barry Switzer made mistakes when Barry Switzer said he made mistakes.
