God bless all.....Still remember Coach Bryant's look after his last game. You could almost see sadness. Every body is human. I wasn't there but as corny as this sounds 'everybody needs a hug'. We all need love. Something he did for so long was then gone......He was a great one
After one of his Super Bowl wins, Lombardi was asked what's it like being the best in football and Vince said I don't know, we haven't played Alabama yet. I think he was joking but a little bit serious.
Are there any coaches like that now? In any sport? In today's society, I wonder if Coach Bryant would be accepted by a college administration. Same for Woody Hayes and some others.
Darryl Royal ran a pretty tough program. Woody Hayes. Lots of coaches who were great in that era could not coach in today’s “woke” climate. Lombardi couldn’t. Shula with 4-a-days in the Miami summer his first year?
Bryant manipulated him. Bryant was trying to keep one of his starters. If you don’t believe that then why did he call his Daddy? Vaught at Ole Miss did the same thing. None of that would work today.
Every few years, I come back and listen to all these old stories about Bear Bryant. I wish there was just one full video of it.
And people say that a home doesn’t need a father.....
Great football and great restaurants !
The great Bear Bryant. He was a true legend.
Me and my father and myself went to the meeting? Really enjoy all the chances to see the old guys tell stories.
A tough love, great, caring man, that wanted the best for his boys as if they were his own son.
If we were all lucky enough to have a Couch Bryant in our lives.
My fav defensive lineman
She ain't as smart as me
my couch was made by christoper knight of Brady Bunch fame. So I have a Couch Knight (not bobby) in my life.

Dealing with 18 year old punk athlete’s is defiantly a skill.
Reminds me of
Oh
Well…..

I understand Bear Bryant and Vince Lombardi were great admirers of one another

Coach BRYANT made winners in life and football, we have another great coach in SABAN now, very similar in philosophy RTR
Paul Bryant . I miss him so !
Yes. We miss that type of no nonsense leadership.

Happy birthday day coach

Great video!
I think that guy was Bob Baumhower who went on to play for the Dolphins in the NFL
You are correct
That’s pretty good coaches
Just wait in 10 20 yrs mama players will tell these stories about Saban. Male moore worked with bear, he knew Saban was cut from same cloth.
Bama players

I always wondered about how John McKay and Parseghian ran their shows. Great coaches but such different personalities from Bryant. (Bobby Dodd, too.)
