Bear Bryant. Someone we haven’t even been talking about. And why??

-Arguably the GOAT
-Only been dead for 41 years. Not that old, just need to bring him back to life somehow.
-Would absolutely burn up Alabama fans.
-Houndstooth would look bad arse in Purple and gold.

Makes way too much sense.

Well, that's certainly a take.

I'd bet he's bored as hell and would take a cut rate deal just to get back in the game.

LSU sent him to his grave when we beat the Gumps arse.

I believe it was 20-10.

I can assure you this would be the case. Because in order for this to work you'd have to dig up the ark of the covenant under the Denny chimes.

All that rotgut he drank plus five packs of unfiltered Chesterfields a day has probably left him mummified. And if Hollywood and Scooby Doo cartoons have taught us anything it is that mummies can be brought back to life.

“Coach, this is something called an iPhone. There is a program on it called TikTok. That is how you talk to recruits. Speaking of, you are not allowed to sign 100 recruits every year anymore”. Etc.

He didn't have the advantage of a playoff or BCS Saban had. Sort of like how Jimmy Johnson went on a tear under the Chase format when it was much harder to win those titles under the old format.

Bryant is the reason Cholly Mac was fired at LSU and he felt horrible about it. Got Cholly the executive director of the Tangerine Bowl job at double what LSU was paying him. Bryant would do anything for his former players who he thought earned it.

Yep! The biggest joke going around LA in late 1982:

"Hey- did you hear Bear Bryant got arrested for attacking his wife??

He asked her for the time- and she answered 'Oh, it's 20 to 10.....'"

He was a hell of a coach and a living legend, for sure.


1979 in Tiger Stadium

Hard to believe he’s roughly the same age as Brian Kelly in that pic
