Switzer: Meeting with Trump never happened

Earlier this month, legendary Oklahoma coach Barry Switzer walked into Trump Tower in New York City and headed upstairs.

When he came back to the lobby, media camped out covering President-elect Donald Trump asked Switzer why he was there.

"Donald plans to run with the ball," Switzer said then. "And I know a lot about rushing the football. So that's why I'm here."

Switzer joked that he was interviewing for the "Secretary of Offense."

Turns out the whole thing was a joke.

In a larger story on Trump's busy meeting schedule since the election, Politico wrote that the supposed meeting never happened.
