In his autobiography “Bootlegger’s Boy,” Barry Switzer says that he resigned as Oklahoma football coach after a meeting at which he was accused of being around drugs and gambling on college football, including the Sooners.

Switzer writes that he stepped down six days after meeting with former interim president David Swank and other school officials.

Excerpts from the book were printed in The Daily Oklahoman.

Switzer said that at the meeting in June 1989, Swank told him he had information that Switzer had been in a Las Vegas hotel room in 1983 where cocaine was used, that he had bet on games and had manipulated the drug testing of Sooner players. Some of the information came from the U.S. attorney’s office in Oklahoma City, Swank told Switzer.

The former coach writes that none of the allegations were true, but he realized after the meeting that his career at Oklahoma was over.
