I'm just saying that he may have been in that middle ground where he did a lot of things right and a lot of things wrong.

The better players getting extra comp tickets, a generous price for them from boosters, part time jobs where punching the clock wasn't particularly strict...lot of that back then. I never thought Coach Brynat or those around them did anything much different than what was fairly normal at the time. He always represented the school well and his accomplishments were second to none. What I remember most at the time is he had a sense of honor about him. In hindsight what I miss, was the mercenary coach wasn't in vogue then. Today, if someone stays 10 years, that seems eternity. Kudos and RIP to Coach Bryant.
