Bear Bryant...

“I wanted to be the Branch Rickey of football.”

That is what legendary Alabama head coach Paul “Bear” Bryant told B.J. Phillips of TIME Magazine just three years before he passed away in 1983.

Bryant was the Godfather of football in Alabama. Not only did he captain one of the greatest winning machines in college football history he formed a personal legend worthy of multiple books.

However, his greatest accomplishment may have been finding a way to use his titanic social influence and power within the Yellowhammer state to force segregationist Governor George Wallace to allow the mighty Crimson Tide to desegregate.
