I agree with Coach Bowden. He took a lot of heat while at FSU ("Free Shoes University") and there may have been some sketchy things going on under his watch. But the worst of what he may have done or allowed while coaching the Seminoles isn't in the same league of the depraved criminal culture that existed at "Happy" Valley during the Paterno/Sandusky reign of terror.
When asked why he didn't retire from coaching, Joe Paterno famously remarked: "It would leave college football in the hands of the Jackie Sherrills and Barry Switzers". Well, Sherill's castration of a bull while at Mississippi State is pretty tame stuff indeed compared to the violence permitted by Paterno and his crew at Penn State.
Barry Switzer has more class in his little pinky than Paterno, ok so he likes to say “Hell” and “Damn” a lot.
