@@nevillesmith426The bear was the GOAT for his era. His style of play by today's standards was antiquated. If he was coaching today...he'd be getting his ass kicked regularly. But for his time...there was Noone better.
@ Bear integrated the team and has a better record than Saban. Saban faced some challenges but not like integration. GOAT stands for all time. Saban couldn’t win today either (that’s why he quit) the dry rot we see in the team that DeBoer takes heat for (penalties, poor OL play, undisciplined) all started in 2021/22 under Saban. It was a much harder landing when Bear retired.

I loved Coach Bryant! I grew up wanting to play for him and went to the last game he coached in the Liberty Bowl when I was a Junior in HS. Class Act! Miss him ! RTR
Coach Bear Bryant was great friends with my cousin, Al Topazi, (Al used to run the press box at Legion field in Birmingham for years) so after I got out of the Navy in 1981, I was visiting my Great Aunt Mary Giattina and other relatives. She gave me a ticket to see Alabama vs. Southern Mississippi! It ended up a 13-13 tie. Bear Bryant autographed an 8 x10 photo of him self to me with my full name on it! I felt bad when I lent it to Brooklyn's bar in Denver to hang up in their legends room showcase. They never gave it back, saying they lost it. Me and all my relatives have always been die hard Crimson Tide fans!!! ROLL TIDE. Tom Lippi Denver, Colorado
"Good .... real good" "Bad .... real bad" The wonderful thing was that we got to see those feelings play out each Sunday over a Coke and a bag of Golden Flake chips. His show was absolute must watch TV for a large portion of the nation. Miss ya like hell, Coach. Roll Tide Roll
I just think it’s so awesome how he gives these young man his undivided attention and tried to answer all of their questions to the best of his ability. He is so kind and patient with them. I hope they all remembered this forever. 🐘🐻🐐🏈💪🙌👏🏆❤️‼️
Grew up in the late 60s and 70s coach Bryant was and will always be the goat!! Stallings was about like him and then we were spoiled again by coach Saban!!! Went to a lot of games at legion field!!!
Coach Bryant was always a man among men - like John Wayne. Love the memories and the toughness. He would always take the blame for missed plays because he knew the player's Mama was watching. But when practice came . . . .
One funny thing is he said he doubted they would be number 1 that year (1973), & they were: They finished regular season number 1 in both polls, before losing super close to Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl. Dropped to number 4 just in the AP poll.
What is this exactly? It feels like Coach Bryant went on a high school recruiting trip to scout an athlete and, naturally of course, the entire school saw him and converged on him because he was a celebrity. Since he was already shaking hands and signing autographs, a group of kids came up to him in the halls and asked if he would answer their questions for the school news report. Which he was obviously gracious enough to do. That's what this seems like at first glance anyways.

So because he is talking to black people he isn’t a racist? Lmao at the Alabama logic when being so football obsessive. It’s pretty obvious what the state of Alabamas priorities always have been. 😂
In 1973 Sugar Bowl, Notre Dame beat Alabama 24-23, to win the National Championship. After that game, many sports writers called it the greatest football game ever played on ANY level! GO IRISH!!!
@bobby3397 If BAMA had ANY CLASS & INTEGRITY (and they DON'T) they would NEVER have claimed the championship for that year since Notre Dame beat them. And they did it again in 1978 when USC came to Alabama and beat them. but Bama still claimed to be national champs even though USC & Ala had identical records that year,but since USC had beaten Ala on the road IN Birmingham, sole ownership of the REAL national championship.should have gone to USC. But those 2 polls were determined by BIASED SPORTSWRITERS and BIASED COACHES. IT WAS A JOKE THEN, AND STILL IS NOW. IT'S MORE FAIR NOW, BUT NOT TOTALLY. BIAS STILL COMES INTO PLAY WITH THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF COMMITTEE. THE REAL CHAMPIONSHIP SHOULD BE DECIDED BY COMPUTER SELECTION BASED ON NUMEROUS FACTORS INCLUDING STRENGTH OF SCHEDULE, ETC. WITH NO CONSIDERATION IF YOU ARE A "BRAND NAME " SCHOOL THAT WILL ATTRACT A LARGER VIEWING AUDIENCE IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP PLAYOFFS. The human element in selecting the winners should be minimized. Of course, that would require great objective, non-biased computer programmers to set up the algorithms.
@ J A T - He played and coached in an era when black players/coaches were excluded and a LOT of people had NO problem at all with that.Just the suggestion of unfairness cost his unbeaten/untied team the 1966 National Championship.
This is so politically motivated! I'm so surprised Coach Bryant even took part in it! Let's just be honest as folks! Love all people! Regardless of their race! Judge everyone by their character only!
+jon wilson , how is this politically motivated, it was an interview conducted by possibly some inspired black kids in the 60's or 70's, Bear Bryant was one of the first Coaches who had the courage to recruit black players in the SEC, trust me I understood his motive, he wanted to win, but nonetheless, it takes a man of great courage to face bigotry and hatred head on. However, he did the interview anyway. And I beg the differ, you don't love all folks regardless of race, because if you did, you wouldn't make such a statement@!
You must be black!..Bryant wanted to use this interview to aid his recruiting dept...Winning football games with the best athletes he could get was what this was about!
+jon wilson Hello Jon, it really doesn't matter if I'm black or white, the bottom line, Bear Bryant knew he had to change the culture in Alabama by recruiting more black athletes in the 70's if he really wanted to compete. With that being said, this is why I commend the man. But you on the other hand, fail to give credit, to where credit is due, by down playing the truth and the facts! Com'on man, he was one of the first coaches in the south to recruit black athletes, because he wanted to win, and he wanted a change in the deep south. Don't misunderstand me, it took white athletes as well. But it was a lot easier on the Bear to win, with both races playing together as one. And trust me he faced a lot of adversity and opposition at trying to make this happen, most of these stories haven't been told. And furthermore, to elaborate on your point, yes he wanted to aid his recruiting dept, and win football games with the best athletes, but don't get it twisted, he knew what type of Athlete he had to bring to Alabama, and I am forever grateful for men like Paul Bear Bryant! and "Yes" I am black! and proud of it,,,
jon wilson Bear was winning, he was getting recruits and he got facility upgrades when he wanted. He tried to recruit black athletes and was a huge part of it happening sooner. Trying to tear down anybody great with race is just tacky and shows a lack of character.
The Bear wanted Black players, school officials said 'no!', The Bear scheduled USC Trojans in Alabama, got spanked & thanked, 21-42, school officials said 'yes'. The next year, '71, John Mitchell became 1st Black player to get on the field for the 'Tide'. 🙃
Saban and The Bear are both the GOAT
Saban wasn't even the greatest Ala coach, definitely not the GOAT. Bear is.
@@nevillesmith426YOU HAVE TO BE DUMB,SABAN IS THE GREATEST COACH IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL, DO YOU NOT WATCH TV,BEAR CAN'T TOUCH SABAN "THE TRUE GOAT"
Bear Bryant is a dead drunk. Not a good man. Literally fell out at public speaking events from being so drunk.

Such a class act he was... He was very patient and kind with these kids.
Alabama was lucky to have him.

I love Coach Saban, but, I grew up in the Coach Bryant era, and he will always be The Man to me. ROLL TIDE!!
coach bryant was such a great man he could be with presidents and then he would take time for these young kids too.
Love seeing the Bear! He was so sweet to these kids!

Thanks for all the memories Coach Bryant.

Im 60 so Bear Bryant Gene Stallings and Nick Saban are the greatest coaches BAMA has had in my lifetime 🐘
what a charming man. It’s no wonder that the people who were in his close circle of friends loved the guy
Ol Bear recruited a few of my prayers when I as coaching. Met him many times.
So kind and humble, one of a kind.
Coach Bryant personifies CLASS! A great coach and a great man
This video shows the best of Coach Bryant. He treated those kids with class and respect.
And demanded the same from his players, NOT A PERFECT MAN, BUT A GREAT COACH, DON'T FORGET THE SHUG EITHER.
I'm a MAJOR Oklahoma State fan but if ou love College football, you have to love and respect Coach Bryant. GREAT Man!! GO POKES!!
It feels good being a Alabama native & a Crimson tide fan Roll Damn Tide 4ever!
Grew up in the late 60s and 70s coach Bryant was and will always be the goat!! Stallings was about like him and then we were spoiled again by coach Saban!!! Went to a lot of games at legion field!!!
Coach Stallings has the greatest voice!
Great video. People want to simplify Bear Byrant. He’s just a product of our society. Trying to do the best he can back then.
Coach Bryant was always a man among men - like John Wayne. Love the memories and the toughness. He would always take the blame for missed plays because he knew the player's Mama was watching. But when practice came . . . .
I like his answers. He's educating this kid at the same time about things like dedication and hard work.
He taljs to the young men like adults, not condescendingly. What a class act.
Im the kind of guy who rarely cries.But when i saw this a tear came in eye.Because my dad started watching Alabama football when Bear got there
That was GREAT!! 😂😂 🗣️ ROLL TIDE 🐘
That was great!!!
You know what the crazy thing is other fans are more attracted to the videos than the bama fans who already lived these moments..
Hi Glynn. I just saw this!
This is a really good video...we're going to feature this video on our channel today! LOVE IT!
Thanks for this treasure. That jacket is something else:)
Hoping to catch a glimpse of Bum Phillips, who was one of Bear's assistants. Don't know if he was on staff when this film was made...
Those kids had great questions.
This is classic.
Thanks. A reader did the conversion and sent it to me to publish.
He has almost as much patience with those kids as Nick Saban would.
Pass that bag of Golden Flake tater chips! I'm fixing to eat me a Bryan Bologna sammich! 🤗
He was truly a legend. He reminds me of John Wayne lol
Corey S. Vaughn Except not a racist.
John Wayne was not a racist. That's an old, dirty lie.
Don't you mean that John Wayne reminds you of Coach? :-)
Really, I not old enough to appreciate legendary actor John Wayne
U got that right. Love me some Coach Bryant. Hook'em!
One funny thing is he said he doubted they would be number 1 that year (1973), & they were: They finished regular season number 1 in both polls, before losing super close to Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl. Dropped to number 4 just in the AP poll.
Ughhh
GREAT VIDEO!! ROLL TIDE!!
Interestingly, the Mississippi and LSU were the last two collegiate programs to integrate in 1972.

that's my table cloth from my Italian restaurant on him
The man was never a racists.... Look at who he is talking to.
So because he is talking to black people he isn’t a racist? Lmao at the Alabama logic when being so football obsessive. It’s pretty obvious what the state of Alabamas priorities always have been. 😂
"I would like to know..." Haha I like them kids way better than any of those knuckleheads on espn.

If BAMA had ANY CLASS & INTEGRITY (and they DON'T) they would NEVER have claimed the championship for that year since Notre Dame beat them.
And they did it again in 1978 when USC came to Alabama and beat them. but Bama still claimed to be national champs even
though USC & Ala had identical records that year,but since USC had beaten Ala on the road IN Birmingham, sole ownership of the REAL national championship.should have gone to USC.
But those 2 polls were determined by BIASED SPORTSWRITERS and BIASED COACHES. IT WAS A JOKE THEN, AND STILL IS NOW. IT'S MORE FAIR NOW, BUT NOT TOTALLY. BIAS STILL COMES INTO PLAY WITH THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF COMMITTEE.
THE REAL CHAMPIONSHIP SHOULD BE DECIDED BY COMPUTER SELECTION BASED ON NUMEROUS FACTORS INCLUDING STRENGTH OF SCHEDULE, ETC. WITH NO CONSIDERATION IF YOU ARE A "BRAND NAME " SCHOOL THAT WILL ATTRACT A LARGER VIEWING AUDIENCE IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP PLAYOFFS.
The human element in selecting the winners should be minimized.
Of course, that would require great objective, non-biased computer programmers to set up the algorithms.

alot of people make everyone out there make this man a bigot . Paul was just the opposite
Who in the world would say he was a bigot? This is Bear Bryant

NO problem at all with that.Just the suggestion of unfairness cost his unbeaten/untied team the 1966 National Championship.
