Barry Switzer, a three-time national champion college football head coach who led the Dallas Cowboys to a Super Bowl title in the 1990s, has made his stance clear on transgender participation in women's sports.

He's not up for that.

The 86-year-old Arkansas native appeared on OutKick's “Don't @ Me with Dan Dakich” on Thursday and was asked if he supported transgender women competing against biological women in sports.

“What the hell. You think I got…? Hell yeah! Hell yeah! I don't want them to have their asses out there. It doesn't make sense,” Switzer told Dakich. “It's not something. It bothers me so much. You know I'm the only guy out there and if you ask him if he belongs there, I'll tell you no, he doesn't belong there.”

“No, not at all. I don't support that, and millions of people like me don't support that. Hundreds of millions of people like me don't support that. It's ridiculous that we have that.”

Switzer said coaches in her era would have laughed at the idea of a transgender woman in the women's locker room.

“We're dealing with some pretty crazy stuff these days, I can tell you that. It's incredible what we have to deal with. But back in our day, it was different.”

The full interview between Switzer and Dakich will be posted on YouTube over the weekend.

Switzer replaced Jimmy Johnson in Dallas before the 1995 season, and the Cowboys went 12–4 and defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers to win the 1996 Super Bowl, 27–17.
