Reviews
In June 1989, player misconduct and allegations of recruiting violations forced the resignation of eminently successful gridiron coach Switzer. In this explicit autobiography, the poor boy from the Arkansas swamp bottoms answers his critics while providing a game-by-game rundown of his 16-year career at the University of Oklahoma. He discusses his groundbreaking enlistment of black players, explains the "feud" with Texas coach Darrell Royal, condemns the hypocrisy of big-time college athletics, and berates sportswriters who base stories on opinion, not factual investigation. Necessary for sports and black history collections. Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 5/15/90. See also Charles Thompson's Down and Dirty , reviewed in this issue, below.
