Good 'Ole boy network certainly helped out Bryant and Bryant Jr.
It's not so much how smart he was with money as it was how many smart businessmen wanted to involve Coach Bryant with their successful businesses.
He was smart with his money.

It's a pretty good bank with lots of branches over Alabama. I have a friend who did some contract work with them and she talked with him a good bit. Said he runs a tight ship and built it largely on his own merits.

he's going to make a fortune w/ NSF fees for all the sidewalk fans that will get their first checking account because it's Bear Jr.'s bank.
