  • Final Paper on Bear Bryant with Footnotes
    Coach Paul W. “Bear” Bryant: A Giant in the College Coaching Ranks and a Powerful Influence on Two Generations of Alabamians David Limbaugh April 22, 2012 The University of Alabama Crimson Tide football team has won two of the last three national championships in college football. The year between the “other” university in Alabama, Auburn University, won it. Two of the last three Heisman Trophy award winners, identifying the best college football player in the nation, have been won by an Alabama running back and an Auburn quarterback. The Harvard College Sports Analysis Collective studied attendance at college football games in 2010 and Alabama ranked first in the nation at 110.51% capacity for each game and Auburn ranked fourth in capacity compared to population, 87,451 in a city of 125,781 residents.1 To say college football in the state of Alabama is important to the residents of the state is an understatement. Sadly, this generation of fans, especially the younger ones, do not know the history of Alabama football, from early Rose Bowl wins to decades of greatness. The saddest thing of all is they do not know the history of the greatest coach not only for the University of Alabama, but college football itself. They are not aware of the career and life story of one Paul W. “Bear” Bryant. In this paper I will be making two distinct arguments. The first argument is that football coach Paul W. “Bear” Bryant was the greatest college football coach of all time. This argument is not based on his record of wins and losses or the number of national championships he won.
