John Hannah, who played as an offensive lineman for Alabama, and later enjoyed a Hall of Fame career in the NFL, once reportedly quipped: "Wallace called Bryant weekly. The reason was he was scared that Bryant would run for governor, because [Bryant would] win.

Didn't you notice the word "quipped". It was a joke, son.

Just because it's a witty remark doesn't mean it's entirely devoid of the truth.
I'd suspect a power-glutton like Wallace would be wary of anyone widely revered in the state of Alabama.
But who knows. In the end, Bear didn't make a public push so they never had to measure their dicks.
Anyways, pretty interesting stuff.
