I was bored and doing a little project, trying to gauge the success of the bryant coaching tree. So far, I have come up with the following 11 names who played for or coached for bryant: Gene Stallings, Howard Schnellenberger, Paul Dietzel Danny Ford, Charlie Pell, Bill Bttle, Mike Riley, Ray Perkins, Charlie McClendon, Pat Dye, and Jackie Sherril. Can anyone help me with names ive left out (looking for only major college or professional head coaches). Thanks.

Cutcliffe's 1st coaching job was under Bryant as a Student Assistant.
I've heard he was recruited for the Football team, but an injury prevented him from ever playing...

Are you looking for just at Bama, or any of his coaching stops?
ETA: You are, so I'll add Jim Owens, he was at Washington forever...

Yeah, I noticed him when I went back to read the OP.
Jim Owens was at Washington for the longest time, he was an assistant at Kentucky also...

Red Blaik taught Paul Dietzel football. That is why he left LSU and went back to Army.
But yes, he was a Bryant assistant at one point.
During his tenure at West Point, Blaik coached three Heisman trophy winners, Doc Blanchard in 1945, Glenn Davis in 1946 and Pete Dawkins in 1958, as well as a total of 11 Hall of Fame players. Twenty of his former assistant coaches became head coaches in their own right: Paul Amen, George Blackburn, Clarence Boston, Eddie Crowder, Paul Dietzel, Bobby Dobbs, Sid Gillman, Jack Green, Andy Gustafson, Dale Hall, Tom Harp, Herman Hickman, Stu Holcomb, Frank Lauterbur, Vince Lombardi, John Sauer, Richard Voris, Murray Warmath, Bob Woodruff, and Bill Yeoman. Legendary fighter pilot Colonel Robin Olds also served as an assistant coach to Blaik. Dietzel, while at LSU, and Murray Warmath, while at Minnesota, won national championships as head coaches. Gillman, while head coach of the San Diego Chargers won an AFL championship. Lombardi, as head coach of the Green Bay Packers, won five NFL titles and the first two Super Bowls.

Yes, Im sure he learned so much more from Blaik than Bryant, even though he was with bryant longer.
