ETA: he coached his last game in December 1982 and died in January 1983.
I was there, in the Liberty Bowl, Bud Dudley gave me the tickets, along with some other members of my unit, right before we deployed to Europe.
I remember exactly where I was, the mountain I was on, the moment I heard The Bear had died over a PRC77.
Y'all were after the old man since the moment he lost the Cotton Bowl the year before ... Bama fans everywhere wanted him out. And he made your program, y'all were "just Alabama" until The Bear came along. Rumor was at the time that the REC had poisoned him after the Auburn, Tennessee and LSU winning streaks came to an end. But it was the loss to who, Southern Miss, when y'all quite poisoning the food and starting main-lining his injections.

Garbage. He announced his retirement before the 1982 football season and actually retired after the Liberty Bowl. I was a student at the law school when he died, and there was never any discussion, the year before included, about wanting him out.

More garbage. It was uncut heroin, which is not poison.
You know the youngsters here take what you say as gospel, so exercise a little more discretion.
