Barry Switzer has a second-screen proposition for fans: Watch old college football coaches talk online during games each Saturday. Switzer started the project called Coaches' Cabana (www.coachescabana.com) last year by streaming live video commentary during seven Oklahoma games. This year he's adding 13 other coaches, including Jack Crowe working Auburn games and Bill Oliver doing Alabama games.
"What we'll be saying is a whole lot edgier and damn more funny than what two guys on ESPN are saying from a stadium," Switzer said.
A second-screen experience refers to tablets, laptops or mobile devices that are utilized during games or shows being watched on television.
Coaches' Cabana is owned by Second Screen Media, a company founded by Switzer, Oklahoma State alum Joe Tippens, Mike Henry and former CBS Sports President Neal Pilson.
The live streams are being powered by Rivals.com, which is owned by Yahoo! Switzer envisions potentially selling Coaches' Cabana to a larger website such as Yahoo! or Comcast.
"It's the wave of the future with people buying digital marketing out there for mobile devices," Switzer said. "People take them everywhere. You can't take your television set everywhere."
The other ex-coaches/players commenting on their teams' games: Danny Ford at Clemson, Galen Hall at Florida, Ray Goff at Georgia, John Fourcade at LSU, Max Howell at Ole Miss, Milt Tenopir at Nebraska, Pat Jones at Oklahoma State, Jay Paterno at Penn State, Johnny Majors at Tennessee, Jackie Sherrill at Texas A&M, and Fred Akers at Texas. Switzer plans to have 50 coaches in 2014.
