LSU made "The Bear" retire, it's only fitting that they do the same to Saban

Watching LSU dominate and run all over Alabama's legendary coach Bear Bryant's players, was simply too much for 'The Bear", so he chose to retire.

But, who can forget the Bear and Bama's 3 to nothing rump where LSU never crossed the 50 yard line, safety would have won the damn thing.

I look for this year's LSU team to really bring it to Bama, who knows, Saban may end up the same way, and retire. Saban's been the best, but so was Bear Bryant.

Auburn claims to have made Bryant retire.

Bryant also lost to Southern Miss that season. Probably USM that did him in.

Human psychology is amazing

Uncertainty causes people to expect the worst in most situations

With head coaching changes, fans tend to expect the best

With LSU HC, QB, OC, or concessions staff changes, they expect natty and subsequent folding of every other program

I just always assumed it was health issues and congestive heart failure that did it. Silly me!!

LSU lost 16 of the 20 games against him, so I'm sure he was ready after that.

The OP's post is a complete and total falsehood. It was actually the 38-29 loss to Southern Miss in Tuscaloosa that caused Bear to think seriously about retirement. And it wasn't until December 15 that Bryant made his resignation and retirement official - a month and almost two weeks AFTER the LSU game.

Actually that was Bo Jackson.
Bear lost twice after LSU. To Southern Miss the best week and to Auburn the next game (three weeks after LSU)
Didn't just make him retire, killed the old drunk bastards by taking his will to live.

LINK

quote:

His last regular season game was a 23–22 loss to Auburn


That was November 27, 1982.

quote:

After the game, Bryant was asked what he planned to do now that he was retired. He replied "Probably croak in a week."[18] His reply proved eerily prophetic.

Four weeks after making that comment, and just one day after passing a routine medical checkup, on January 25, 1983, Bryant checked into Druid City Hospital in Tuscaloosa after experiencing chest pain. A day later, when being prepared for an electrocardiogram and sitting in a puddle of his own drunken piss, he died after suffering a massive heart attack.


Nearly 2 months to the day after Auburn won the old drunk couldn't handle life anymore.

This is the play that killed the Bear, "Bo Over the Top"




quote:

He is interred at Birmingham's Elmwood Cemetery


Elmwood has a red line from the entrance of the cemetery leading straight to the Bears grave, like some sort of white trash morbid road side attraction.
Ironically he's about 100 yards from a good friend of mine from HS who was one of the biggest Auburn fans I ever knew . Everytime I go to see my buddy there's always still Bama memorobila, coca cola bottles, bags of golden flake chips, and for some reason pennies scattered around/ on Bear's grave. Of course whenever I go down there I make sure to drink something before so I can do the classy thing and piss on the Bears grave.

the fact that the bear died months after dying should give an indication of why he retired
