re: Ever seen a prominent coach in public just by chance?

In 1965 at Denny Stadium I was there to watch my brother play in the Alabama High School All Star Game. I ran into Bear Bryant in a isolated part of the stadium he stopped and talked to me like I was an old friend.( I was 17 years old at the time). I ran to Shug Jordan in Auburn several times and he always made me feel like he remembered me because my brother played at Auburn, he was a real gentleman. I sort of knew Terry Bowden he was a real butthole. I ran into Pat Dye at a hunting expo and he teamed up with me for a while maybe because I am a former college football player and sort of looked the part. We spent quite a bit of time together that day and he was a very humble person and made me feel important. I was waiting at an Auburn restaurant one night when Tommy Turberville came up an introduced himself and we talked a bit. I also met and talked to Sonny Smith at an event. Very nice guy and really enjoyed talking to him. Almost forgot I did some promotions with Gene Stallings and man was he a great guy, Also did some promotions with Bill Curry and I can’t say the same.
