Well if you went 8 bowls without a win then I would say its about as bad as it looks.

Bryant had an okay bowl record, but he went 8 bowl games without a single win (1967-74). That makes it seem worse than it really was
He lost 8 in a row. There is no "seem" about it.

Exact same as Tom Osborne. Osborne could have had more wins/titles, but he had a pair of nuts and went for wins instead of ties, etc. Greatest coach of all time.

"The Tide was all white until 1971. They played in an all-white conference and mostly against all-white non-league foes. This means they did not field the best players from the widest talent pool (which helps explain why they have fewer Heisman winners, All-Americans, and NFL stars than other storied programs). It also means their competition was not quite as good as what other schools, presumptively USC, Notre Dame, Michigan, et al were playing."
Coach Bear Bryant’s Crimson Tide went to Miami undefeated, untied and ranked No. 2. against Nebraska's integrated team in 1971...The Tide left a 38-6 loser.
By 1973, one-third of the team's starters were black.
