Jes' an ole Arkansas plowboy....THE GREATEST TEACHER...of men..he was ...like Vincent T. Lombardi...MORE...than a coach...he embodied all we cherish as men..and real winners...
The Bear was a legend, but Saban has done more in a much tougher time period of college football. The Bear laid the foundation but Saban built the dynasty
Damn Right. The way he gutted out that Liberty Bowl, I'll never forget. Hell, He even pulled a second wind in the hospital the morning before he passed. Competitor.
Great coach, an even better man, and this comes from a Tennessee fan. But, it's sad to see that even Bear Bryant lived in denial upon arriving at the moment that the game had finally passed him by. He was human after all.
Bama fan here. I was around during this time. The game hadn't passed him by. Just two months before this interview, Bama was 5-0, ranked second, and had beaten eventual champion Penn State 42-21. Like Keith Jackson says in the interview, Bama was favored to win its 3rd national championship in 4 years. The game definitely hadn't passed him by. But due to his declining health, recruiting had fallen off a cliff the previous year or two. As he said in the interview, we had the starters to win another national championship (see the Penn State game for evidence), but the team wasn't deep. Injuries took their toll, and for Alabama fans, the unthinkable end-of-season collapse happened. Followed by Bear Bryant's retirement and death shortly after his final game. It's a huge mistake to think the game had passed him by. But it's very nice of you as a Tennessee fan to compliment the Bear as a coach and a person.
Bear was/is the GOAT. Coach Bryant coached and recruited 2-3 star players at most. He had very few 4-5 star players and still won. I love Coach Saban but didn’t like the way Nick went out. Of course I’m guessing they both may have paid players. But Saban would never have won with the same players that Coach Bryant had. Yes different era. But Bryant still the GOAT
The greatest announcer interview the greatest coach
Not. Neither
@@Phone-sh7jg Who is?
My cousin Jeremiah Castille played for him his last year before he died. He was also one of the pallbearers at his funeral too
Where is Simeon?
The one they are all measured against... The "bear" we still love you RIP
Met him in 1978. My cousin, Greg, played LB for him. Roll Tide 😀😀
The Greatest Coach. It's as simple as that.

@@Youre_Right I agree
No doubt
That's the MAN and he always will be the man and the houndstooth hat. ROLL TIDE !!!!

I like Keith Jackson even more.
Man his voice takes me back even though I really didn't watch football.
Wow! They said “they will have to carry him off”. How right they were. He passed over just 28 days after his last game.
The ultimate college football coach of all time
Pure class
GOD BLESS
them boys back den was ready to play for alabama coming out of the womb.roll tide
LOL if Auburn wins I’ve already told the University to investigate it prior to the game! 😂
Greatest of all time.
Great coach, an even better man, and this comes from a Tennessee fan.

I don't think the game had passed him by, I think his age/health was catching up.
Didnt shit pass him by he still is the game
Reggie Jackson put this man on blast for who he really was….
Look into what? I was busy going to school in 82. Missed the news. What happened?
Bear went and called his momma two months after losing to Auburn😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
