Apparently back in the 1977 season, Switzer had been drilling his Defensive Coordinator's wife. DC finds out about it between the end of the regular season and the bowl game. OU is 11-0, ranked #1 and heavily favored to beat Arkansas in the Orange Bowl to win the national championship.
OU gets drilled in the bowl game and after the game the DC walks up to Barry, tells him he knows what he has been doing with his wife, and says that he called the wrong defensive alignments on purpose as payback. Then he quits.
I can't verify the stuff about the DC quitting, but the other stuff lines up with how the season went down. Heard it from a guy at our tailgate yesterday who knew some big OU boosters back in the day.:lol:
