NORMAN, Okla. -- Across the street from Oklahoma's campus, and a mile from the football stadium that bore witness to his legendary career, Barry Switzer sits in his home office at an ornate desk with his name on the front underneath an OU logo. Around him, commemorative footballs line the shelves, mementos of a time when he became known as "The King," winning three national championships and 12 Big Eight titles.
There's a replica Lombardi Trophy celebrating the Dallas Cowboys' 1995 championship in Super Bowl XXX, when Switzer became one of three men -- alongside Jimmy Johnson and Pete Carroll -- to win championships in college and the NFL.
