Bootlegger's Boy

Written by Barry Switzer

Narrated by Barry Switzer

A riveting memoir by one of the most successful football coaches in America!

As head coach of the Oklahoma Sooners, Barry Switzer was the fourth most successful coach in NCAA history. Both praised and reviled by the media as the "outlaw" of college football, Switzer was characterized as the "greatest rogue, pirate, hustler, and con man" ever to command a football team. As head coach for the Dallas Cowboys, he led America' s team to victory in Superbowl XXX.

In Bootlegger's Boy, Switzer gets the chance to tell it all from his point of view. He recounts the rough path he took from his youth— in which his father served prison time for bootlegging and his mother committed suicide— to his rare distinction as one of only three individuals to win national championships in college football and the NFL.

Narrated hy Barry Switzer himself which is pretty cool. I wish the book was longer
