Bear Bryant decisions cost Alabama Football a National Championship
Criticizing former Alabama football, Head Coach, Paul ‘Bear’ Bryant is uncommon. The fact he coached segregated Alabama football teams for over a decade does not sit well with some. In that failing, Bryant was joined by many southern head coaches. But given Bryant was probably more popular than George Wallace, it is fair to claim he failed to do enough to force the pace of integration.
Putting politics and southern history aside, Bryant is nearly universally acclaimed. Finding fault with anything Bryant did while coaching a game, is almost nonexistent.
