Coach Barry Switzer is intently listening to me explain Steve “Dr. Death” Williams' Photo Shoot.

This photo was in the office of then Oklahoma Sooners Head Football Coach Barry Switzer, a Hall of Famer, in about 1988 or 89. Coach is intently listening to me explain what we were going to attempt to accomplish that day which was to shoot some vignettes of Steve “Dr. Death” Williams training at the OU facilities for a UWF Title match against Big Bubba Rogers (the late Big Bossman/Ray Traylor). Coach Switzer appeared in these vignettes to help Doc who was one of Coach’s “boys” when the Good Doctor played offensive guard for the Sooners. Both Coach Switzer and yours truly are writing forewords for Doc’s upcoming book that is scheduled to be released in the near future. I still see Coach Switzer on a regular basis as we each live in Norman, Oklahoma. “The King” as Coach is called in these parts is one of the nicest, most personable individuals I have ever met. Living in Norman and becoming friends with one of my heroes has really been a great experience. Coach makes a mean BLT, too.
