Adam CopelandHOST
I'm saying these are the things people want to parse through where Kyle's just a good coach until he wins a Super Bowl.
Adam CopelandHOST
I'm like, really? So going to two and losing him, he's just as good as anybody who's never been? Like he's worse than coaches who have been to one and won it because they got the one? Like you told me Kyle's a worse coach than Barry Switzer.
Adam CopelandHOST
Like, who hadn't been coaching, who came in in the way.
Adam CopelandHOST
And again, Seifert was already a coach on the staff.
Derek PapaHOST
It took him to the NFC Championship game.
Derek PapaHOST
The next year won the Super Bowl.
Derek PapaHOST
But you ask a lot of the players back then, they said Barry Switzer was kind of, you know, a babysitter a little bit in a way, where his coordinators really coached the team.
Derek PapaHOST
It's with Kyle, like you can't.

Ian BoydGUEST
Why do you think that is? Oh, I remember, because he was skateboarded by Oklahoma in And they got really mad when he had his father-in-law, Art Bryles, on the field with him after the game.
Paul WadlingtonHOST
Are you talking about the program that doesn't want Art Bryles associated with the program on the field, but has Barry Switzer always doing their little alumni circuit and all the handshake circuit and the banquets and on radio? And Barry Switzer's offenses that people have all forgotten were actually worse than Art Bryles? Isn't that weird?
Ian BoydGUEST
Strange.
Paul WadlingtonHOST
So funny.
Nathan BrewerHOST
Speaking of Arkansas, speaking of the University of Arkansas and their football program, Arkansas alumni...
Nathan BrewerHOST
Jerry Jones, Barry Switzer, Jimmy Johnson.
Nathan BrewerHOST
Actually, the person wrote Barry Switzerland.
Nathan BrewerHOST
Jerry Jones, Barry Switzer, Jimmy Johnson, all alumni, University of Arkansas, their football team.
Nathan BrewerHOST
That's true.
Nathan BrewerHOST
It's a true story.
Ryan McMakenNARRATOR
in return the ncaa threatened the cfa members with sanctions in all sports which led to some universities suing the ncaa on antitrust grounds with the cfa members winning Immediately, the new money began to flow in, but while the NCAA stuck to its amateur code for the athletes, coaching salaries quickly moved upwards.
Ryan McMakenNARRATOR
For example, when Coach Barry Switzer was leading the University of Oklahoma's football team to national championships in the 1970s, he was paid $24,000 a year.
Ryan McMakenNARRATOR
For that matter, the legendary John Wooden, who led UCLA's basketball team to 10 NCAA championships before retiring in 1975, never made more than $35,000 a year.
Ryan McMakenNARRATOR
Coaching salaries quickly moved into six figures and then, in the 1990s, seven figures and now eight.

Barry Switzer team, which was really a, the Jo- Jimmy Johnson team.
Rich PaulHOST
I think at some point, and again, this is just me, I can play fantasy football even though I don't play fantasy football, but I think at some point down the road, Joe Burrow ends up a Dallas Cowboy.
Max KellermanHOST
You've been saying that.
