Paul (Bear) Bryant today signed a 10-year contract as head football coach and athletic director at the University of Alabama, bringing to an end rumors and speculation that have been running the gossip gamut since midseason of 1956. No salary terms were revealed, but the consensus is that Bryant is to receive $17,500 yearly. "We have secured in our way of thinking the best football coach in the country," said Dr. Frank Rose, president-elect at Alabama.
