Barry Switzer: OU football 3-time NCAA champion coach, Dallas Cowboys' Super Bowl winner

.....but went from 6-10, Switzer's last season, to 10-6 under Gailey the following season.

Chan Gailey got a bad rap
BP took Campo's 5-11 and took it to 10-6

BUT the talent was not there to do any more than that

just like with Gailey; we were a ghost of the great teams of the early 90's

Parcells took Campo's threepeat 5-11 record and took it to 10-6 because he was Parcells.

That's the point.

Parcells was a great coach in the NFL and Switzer wasn't.

Switzer was only a great coach when the talent level was overwhelmingly in his favor.

Parcells also brought in his FOBs (Friends of Bill) to bolster the lineup. He did not take Campo's 5-11 team. Until Parcells taught Jerry about the importance of the draft, our fortunes depended on health and the costly free agents Jerry would get. Now, that we understand the importance of the draft, we no longer understand the importance of top-end free agency.
