Barry Switzer shows no chill in letting media run with fake Trump meeting

Former Oklahoma coach Barry Switzer isn't even a little bit sorry for tricking media gathered in Trump Tower into believing he got a meeting with the President-elect earlier this month.

The story, which was widely reported and, apparently, entirely a fabrication, gave Switzer a little more than a small chuckle.

"All the media people said, 'Coach what are you doing here,'" Switzer said. "I told them I was here to see the president like everyone else."

"I told the reporters I had a great visit, and that we were going to make the wishbone great again," he said.
