From what I was always told, it was a this point that Coach recommended, to the Dolphins, that they hire Don Shula, instead of himself. Pretty smart guy that Paul Bryant.
Miami was not stupid in trying to hire the Bear, but I have a sneaking suspicion , Bear Bryant would have despised the pro game. Too many of his strengths might have been wasted on the pros.
Coach Bryant was smart enough to see the Pros for what it is. Spurrier and Saban didn’t quite see that fact. It’s just a different game for coaches who use intimidation and a certain level of brainwashing to win. Not an insult. Just a fact. Guys like Joe Gibbs and Don Shula were just as much politicians as coaches. They have to deal with all those personalities. When you’re a college coach you set the tone and no BS.
Spurrier couldn't coach in the NFL. Saban couldn't coach in the NFL and, I bet The Bear would have had trouble too. Only difference is that he was wise enough to realize ahead of time that the coach isn't the boss of those players like at the lower levels.

Rest in Peace Coach Bryant.
Not only was Coach Bryant was a great Coach but a Great Human being.
You sure about that? Notice how his teams were entirely white?
He was a good man to his white friends but was as racist as all them krakkas in the south
He's was racist as Alabama
Lol sure he was
Miami Dolphins tried to steal Bear Bryant so we stole Nick Saban. BOOM!!!!
Al McGuire once said that the reason he never wanted to coach in the pros is that he wouldn’t be the highest paid person on the bench

...like Saban.
Wow the Alabama/Miami relationship is complex. Bryant, Mike Shula, Nick Saban,
thedungeondelver Don't forget Howard Schnellenberger, who played for Bryant at UK, but was Shula's OC before going to the Hurricanes.
That's right! Wheels within wheels.
i remember as a kid,reading that Coach Bryant had actually taken the job at Miami,but we know the rest of the story.
THAT’S AWESOME I didn’t know that👍🏼👍🏼

if the old bear was alive he would shit a brick sideways if he knew how much Saban makes
Yah but if Bear was coaching today he'd be making Saban's salary. :)
@@thedungeondelver If not more.
These NFL coaches are a joke. Babysitters for multi-millionaires. Bear was an intellligent man!!!
Belichick a babysitter.😆😆

@@christophercringle896 Can't remember the name for this type of argument. I think it is called a fallacy of logic. Anyhow, I ain't no big brain.
We almost lost Bryant to the Dolphins. And then we took Saban from the Dolphins
the 1 dislike is a dolphins fan
Or that dumbass Duke Moose guy, most likely.
BAMAFAN exactly right
Lol 😂
Roll Tide ❤️🐘🏈
Bear Tide lol
Now Nick Saban is the "Bear", but I predict Bama is going on NCAA probation soon.
No one cares what you predict TROLL
Still on that nonsense? Damn. When I saw this post,I thought it read "8 yrs" instead of "8 months." Move on, genius.
Your prediction didn’t turn out.
Best racist coach there was
Everyone was racist back then
