One game with the University of Oklahoma (1985) and FOUR seasons with Switzer and the Dallas Cowboys (1994-1997).
So 65 games.
The next year, With Aikman having one of his best seasons posting a 99.0 passer rating, Dallas defeated the Bills again for a second-straight Super Bowl title. It was widely expected that the team might win the Super Bowl at the end of the 1994 season, becoming the first team to win three consecutive titles. However, Jones and Johnson began having disputes regarding their own personal responsibility for the team's success. Jones fired Johnson, and hired Barry Switzer. Despite the turmoil, the Cowboys almost returned to the Super Bowl, but were beaten 38-28 in the NFC Championship game by the San Francisco 49ers.
The 1995 Cowboys won a record-tying 5th Super Bowl (on January 28, 1996) beating the Pittsburgh Steelers, and Aikman threw for over 3,300 yards in the regular season. That August, a book was published alleging that Aikman was a racist, and which also suggested that Switzer planted rumors that Aikman was gay because he thought Aikman was trying to get him fired. It was around this time that Sports Illustrated carried a lengthy article about Aikman's "search for the perfect woman," and Aikman became more visible dating female celebrities.
In 1997, Aikman became the first quarterback in Dallas history to have three straight 3,000-yard seasons. However, the team missed the playoffs. Switzer suffered the first losing season of his coaching career. His off-the-field woes exacerbated a bad situation, and Switzer quit following the season.

Just one game. He broke his leg against the University of Miami, who was coached by Jimmy Johnson, who of course later coached Aikman with the Cowboys.
After Airkman was hurt, Switzer went back to the wishbone offense. After the season, he helped Aikman transfer to UCLA so he could play in a passing offense that suited his talents. Switzer followed Johnson as Cowboys coach.

I believe it was 2 full seasons plus playoffs. They won the superbowl in the 2nd season. I don't know when Switzer left or even why.

I pretty sure it was just his freshman season in college... I don't recall if he played under him in the NFL...
