The power Bryant is perceived to have didn't exist until after the late 1970s. People actually were calling for his head after the average years of 1969 and 1970.

Alabama was already used to playing successful football after Wallace Wade and Frank Thomas. A championship winning coach wasnt some unreachable thing to alabama fans, and when Coach Bryant had a few down years, his light flickered a bit. Of course we know that he righted the ship and became the greatest coach to ever live before it was over with but his career wasnt without some rocky moments.
