Back then ABC had the rights to live college football broadcasts. Teams were maxed out at 5 appearances in a 2 year period, of which only 2 could be seen nationally. These coaches shows with their film clips were often the only way fans could actually see any of the game action.
what made him so effective was his substitution policy. which made the 2nd team on 1st.now you have the 3rd team mostly fr. and so. gaining some game exp. and now your left with a system that doesn't have "rebuilding years"
Yes, LSUTFTC, Coach Bryant is dead. But he lives in every Bama Championship and in that 21-0 BEATDOWN in the Superdome!

Those wonderful Bryant coach's shows I used to watch with my late dad: what a great memory.

Thanks for this. I was a television reporter in Birmingham at this time and remember that game like it was yesterday. :)
