There's actually a small documentary on the strides he made to make it happen.

I'd be interested in watching this.

The Bear could do whatever the frick he wanted in that state.

I can't imagine the administration telling him what to do. What would they do, fire the Bear?

No, he couldn't. Timing was everything.

The Bear only had that power in the 70's and 80's. In the 60's? Not so much.

That statement is totally full of shite. George Wallace ran the state and everybody knew it. As popular as he was, Coach Bryant wasn't about to butt heads with Wallace. You can book that!

If Wallace could say no to the President, he could damn sure say no to Bryant.
