Summary

In some ways, Brian "The Boz" Bosworth and Barry Switzer were made for each other. The Oklahoma coach and the linebacker he recruited to play for him were both outsized personalities who delighted in thumbing their noses at the establishment. And in their three seasons together (1984-86), the unique father-son dynamic resulted in 31 wins and two Orange Bowl victories, including a national championship. But Bosworth's alter ego--"The Boz"--was taking over. Eventually, he went on a downward spiral and became known as an NFL bust. Director Thaddeus D. Matula examines the dual identities of Brian Bosworth as he looks back on his life and passes on the lessons he's learned to his son.
