That's deep and they say coaches get paid for nothing. That's bull 🐂 sht. Usually good head coaches see what others don't see if everybody else just listen.
@@antwandukesya gotta think about also the time period.. this was when coaches had to actually pull up to the games all of the time and the best players were always in the newspapers so they knew who to recruit
WRONG! You mean MODEST! Humility is not modesty; although they can be similar at times. Humility is having an accurate self appraisal of one’s abilities while also giving credit where it is due at all times. So… that is on display more than you know.
Wait... You don't think Switzer knew all about Sanders? I live in California and was recruited by Big 8 Schools back then. Barry Sanders is one of the best ever and was in Switzer's backyard. I got $500 that says influential alums were trying to get Barry over to there to be a Sooner
Sanders was the better runner but Sweetness was a better all around back. He was by far the best blocking back of any of the great runners. And he was an excellent receiver. The only thing he lacked was that world class sprinting ability ala Gale Sayers.
@@tmgco I. Can’t argue with that. The shame of it is both of them did it on crap teams for the most part. I love Walter, crap man I have the Super Bowl shuffle 45 hanging on my wall. But as far as watchin a dude run, Barry was magic. I guess bottom line is it’s a conflict. 😀. But top 2 all time
I will take Earl Campbel 1st but that's probably because I saw his entire college and pro career and what impact he had. Plus he has a great nickname...The Tyler Rose.
As very much a Sooners fan, I'll still tell everyone my thoughts, Barry is the greatest RB of all time. Not only would his numbers have been ridiculous behind an offensive line like the Dallas cowboys line, he regularly made positive/ even big plays where he really should've been tackled behind the line from poor blocking. Furthermore, he could've played another 3-5 years and is still 4th. I loved watching Emmit play. He was really good as well, but I think that Barry was better.
@@sharifroyal5695 for those of us who remember the holes Emmitt had the privilege of running through, I don’t care how many Larry Allen’s there were. That line and the prolific offense made Emmitt. He was a dime a dozen back.
@@paladin1726 we can agree to disagree because he definitely wasn’t a “dime a dozen” back that’s for sure because he was doing work before Larry Allen even got there
@@paladin1726 They may not have all been HOFer’s but they had multiple pro-bowlers on that line. Erik Williams, Nate Newton, Flozell Adams, etc. Their line was stacked and continuously considered the best in the NFL during that era. There was no comparison’s between the Detroit and Dallas line. That line was a perfect fit for almost any runner, especially a downhill one like Emmitt.
People forget that Oklahoma state coach at the time pulled Sanders out in the 4thQ several games and decreased his carries the last 4 games of the season , if he didn't Barry would've had 3005 yards instead of his 2685 yds for an untouchable record for the ages 🧐
Stars get pulled all the time at the end when the victory is secured. You never leave a star in at the end, everyone knows this. Whats curious to me is why do you think he “would have” gotten 3005. That’s laughably specific. And you can’t even say he would have because maybe he would have gotten injured and not been able to play the last few games. Too many unknowns.
@@fierce-green-fire8887 he probably just took his average ypc and average touches and added up all the minutes of game time he missed. Barry also had 222 yards and 5 touchdowns in the Holiday Bowl that year. Which didn't count towards the season total like it does now. So really Barry had 2,850 rushing yards and 42 rushing touchdowns in what would have been 12 games if the bowl stats were counted.
@@Angelcynn_ I have never heard of superstars being left in games at the end of blow outs so I assume all records are conditional like that. But yeah, Sanders’ numbers would have been crazy had he sustained his rates full time for all games.
Sanders is not only one of his f not the greatest running back ever, he is also an extremely humble person. The accounts of him coming out of games for others to play even though he was about to break records is humbling and legendary.
@@Dukethedaywalker I will have to trust You on this one then. Lost over 1,000yds to gain 15k. Never had a good Online either. But another thing to think about is the man rarely even had a lead blocker (as in a FB)either. Insane to think of his one man show and the production he made. GOAT with no help from nobody. Always lined up solo in the BF . Remember Nintendo tecmo bowl.? Ace back on The Lion(s). Beast in tecmo bowl, nuff said.
@@Dukethedaywalker I think the Fran Tarkenton stat is he has the most fumble recovery yards lost or gained I don't know which but they were from him recovering his own fumbles which is funny stat to have as a QB but I'm still not sure how the stat falls on him but it's a fumbling category stat. Man their is a lot stats we probably don't even realize they tracking
To add to that Barry is the only back in NFL history to have as many negative carries as he does positive carries from scrimmage and still average over five yards per carry
I can also remember on a talk show before the OU vs OSU game the year Barry won the hiesman that Switzer told Jones that Sanders would get his 200 yds against OU, but OU would win the game!
Barry Sanders always shows a great level of humility. He can easily say I'm great, but is always respectfully humble. That's high character exemplified. That to me is what makes him so cool.
I felt honored to have been able to watch Barry Sanders run while growing up. Amazing doesn't even describe his capabilities on the field. This man was from a different planet! And Humble! Incredible 🍻
I doubt they lined up in the same backfield 5 times. Sanders backed up Thomas. The same backfield would be like, Morris and Csonka, Smith and Johnston, Craig and Rathman, Dickerson and James.
Switzer one of my all time favs.....oklahoma vs nebraska for the big 8 championship most years at least till colorado had a 5 year stretch...those was incredible football days
I played golf with Barry in Phoenix. He’s the coolest, must down to earth athlete I’ve ever met. After we played golf, he invited me to eat lunch with him and his family. He’s an awesome guy.
THE LEVEL OF RESPECT MY GOD YOU GOTTA LOVE FOOTBALL AND THE UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA GOOOOOOOOOOOOO SOONERS...........4-LIFE...... 💯 FACTSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.......!!!!!
@@chriswebster24 their is no other college player ever that is comparable, how about that, and I got to actually see him play, absolutely no comparison ever. Prime Barry could step onto a college or pro field today, exact same results. That's the difference.
@@johnbeavers6497 That's a great point. Hell, he may be even better now, because tackling is do much worse (college and pro), and in the pros he'd be facing nickel defenses a lot.
To have that problem not be a problem because the best of all time was cool playing behind a top 10 of all time. These guys truly respected each other. 💪🏾🏈
I was not a fan of Detroit, but Barry Sanders made me wanna watch Detroit play ball. He could run like no other player in football. He was a joy to watch.
Incredible era in college football 🏈 wowwwwww soooo blessed to watch it!! Barry Sanders AMAZZING RB --- million times more impressive human being -- Tim’s of respect for him ❤️🙌🏼
@@jasonwolfe3252 NOT TRUE. Watch the Sanders game against Nebraska. He lined up in the "I" formation and followed his fullback EVERY time, cleared the point of attack, and wreaked havoc. When he was tackled, he DRAGGED guys. In the NFL, Barry had no fullback, and the first season he got one, he had 14 straight 100 yard games and ran for 2000 yards.
One of the greatest to ever do it Barry Sanders and retired because Detroit wouldn't trade him. Imagine Barry playing behind a Dallas O-line or San Francisco O-line at. that time
Barry Sanders was such a SPECIAL PLAYER! HE BROKE MORE ANKLES ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD. THAN ALL THE POINT GAURDS ON THE BASKETBALL COURT IN THE NCAA AND THE NBA! 👏👍💪✌️⚡ BARRY IS A CLASS ACT AND A HUMBLE SUPERSTAR! THERE'S WILL ONLY BE ONE BARRY SANDERS! ⚡ ENOUGH SAID!!! ✌️
#Truth. Barry was one of the Greatest of all time. I always say that Jim Brown was the prototype power back and Barry Sanders was the prototype elusive back. No one has EVER done it better than those guys. #Goat
Greatest running back of all time. Incredible what he did. I have heard all the accolades about Jim Brown and watched videos of him. A 230 pound beast that played against weaker smaller players. He would have been a better than average runner today.
This guy broke more ankles than high heels and stripper shoes put together
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
😂😭
😂😂😂
Yesssirrr and I’ve seen all three 😂😂😂
That is really a fact while you playing
Switzer “ Don’t hurt the starter because the back up will destroy us” 😂
Man thats a coach who did his home work!!😂

imagine that the back up better than the starter and he a freshman
That was the best backfield of all time...Barry Sanders and Thurman Thomas on the same squad?!?! Unreal
yep
Reggie Bush and Lendale White are close...
Squad yes ,backfield no ..they never lined up together
Eric Dickerson & Craig James
@@THEAdmiralXizor🤣🤣😂🤣
Most humble superstar ever!! Hands down 💯😇

Yep...
Truth he and Walter Payton
He didn't think he was the guy😏 very humble!
Barry was the AI of the NFL.
Barry was just a special once in 10 generations typa DUDE.....he was and still is the GOAT
Truth right there
Barry Switzer?
It’s crazy that the best Oklahoma State player of all time is a deep, rooted sooner fan
@@JerryfallwellBarry Sanders
@@JerryfallwellBarry is fool
The combination of humble and beast is rare to see now a days

Sanders was and still is the best running back that has ever touched a football on any level
Agreed
Facts
I get it...but I still say Walter. But I am Bears fan lol.
Its a toss-up between him and Bo Jackson. No one else comes close
It was Jim Brown and Barry would yell you the same thing.
Bro, was the backup to a Heisman trophy winner and a future hall of famer yet everyone was afraid of him getting in the game. 🐐🐐🐐🐐
Thurman didn't win the Heisman, but the point stands IMHO...🫡🍻
DUDE YOU GOT 43 SHEEP TO BELIEVE YOUR B.S.
Nothing could make a coach cry faster than seeing Thurmond Thomas and Barry Sanders in the backfield, together.
When a coach knows who you are😅
Wait... You don't think Switzer knew all about Sanders? I live in California and was recruited by Big 8 Schools back then. Barry Sanders is one of the best ever and was in Switzer's backyard. I got $500 that says influential alums were trying to get Barry over to there to be a Sooner
He knew his Father..
Love how humble Barry is
A coach saying u don't want to hurt the starter cause u scared of the back up,that gotta be a first ( that's respect right there)🤔😳💯💯🔥
Coach knew that he was gonna have to deal with Barry enough over the next few years, lmao. Didn't wanna have to start early.
Barry is being honored with a statue in Detroit, Mi
Yep, long overdue
HE SHOULD ITS WAY OVERDUE. AND IM A COWBOYS FAN. BUT ALWAYS HAVE MAD RESPECT AND LOVE FOR BARRY SANDERS
Bears fan so I’m w Walter but Sanders is the greatest rb ever

Emmitt smith has left the chat
@@jamor2549Put Barry behind that cowboy line and it would of been 5 straight 💍💍💍💍💍
Barry was generational talent. Left NFL early but it was great for his health.
It was because he wanted a ring but Detroit wouldn't let him leave so he retired
I will take Earl Campbel 1st but that's probably because I saw his entire college and pro career and what impact he had.
Plus he has a great nickname...The Tyler Rose.
Switzer knew the real deal when he saw him!
Noooo he knew his Dad..
Barry has always earned respect on and off the field. Its incredible that someone with that much talent could stay humble.
The single most exciting athlete I have ever seen with my own two eyes
Bo Jackson. Greatest athlete of ALL TIME.
The best college and pro running back I have ever seen play
U must of never watched Bo Jackson. If not for injuries Bo would be leading rusher ran 4.12 at 230 lbs

I thought it was Fran Tarkenton. You probably are correct though. Just trying to have the facts is all

A true icon, Humble and the goat RB
He is so humble for being so incredibly talented.
Barry was my favorite player of all time and the best part was his humility.
Great praise..
Thurman was a great back. Vastly underrated on any all-time list. Top 10 no... top 20 definitely!!
Top 15 imo...my fave rb of all time
Barry Sanders always shows a great level of humility. He can easily say I'm great, but is always respectfully humble. That's high character exemplified. That to me is what makes him so cool.
The GOAT running back!
Beauty in motion!
The best & most elusive running back I've ever had the pleasure of watching...very humble, great guy!!
You gotta wonder what Marcus Dupree would have done had he stayed with it.
For real tho!!!
Exactly!!!!
Omg....talk about a freak of nature!
@@spencerchristie3735 Still holds the record for rushing yards (249) for the fiesta bowl.

Wow what a set of RB’s
That was the serious one-two uppercut backfield in college football history!
He was a Raider at heart the whole time!!
To the best backs in history in the same backfield
To have that problem not be a problem because the best of all time was cool playing behind a top 10 of all time. These guys truly respected each other. 💪🏾🏈

That just might be the smartest thing that Barry Switzer had EVER said! 💯
Barry was lots smarter than people thought
Thee Greatest running back ever!
Payton was mentioned. I stand by my statements. Great blocker. Great receiver incredible ball runner. Even threw touchdowns‼️
