Message: [QUOTE="OrangePA, post: 399289, member: 204"] A couple of things. First. There was one Bear Bryant. Second, Bear Bryant always had a lot of talent. Third, when he didn't have the talent he lost. You will recall the famous episode when he brought USC to Alabama to demonstrate to his fans that the program needed to recruit African-Americans kids to continue to compete - Sam Cunningham and company badly beat the great coach that day - Bryant couldn't beat yourn's with hisn's that day because he didn't have the talent to do it. So, please stop trying to lionize these guys or to make them what they are not. They are teachers who perform better when they have talented students. They are not magicians. [/QUOTE]
