The Chuck ToddCast · Alabama: The Making of Nick Saban’s Football Empire (Part 2) · 25 Aug 2026 podcast

we saw that Bear Bryant had become essential to football at at Alabama, right?

And the in the task of replacing him

really wouldn't be successfully accomplished for another couple of decades.

You know what?

It probably felt like a relief to be in the shadow of the basketball team.

There's a lot less scrutiny.

You can just go to your business.

It's funny that that, you know, one of the reasons Bear Bryant left Kentucky was he couldn't take being number two to Adolph Rubb's basketball program.

But Bill Curry welcomed it, right?

Let me let me just go over here and mind my business.

Like Kentucky, you just go six and five and and people will be happy with

for analytics.

I'm still stuck on why the fans were so upset by the removal of the tower.

It's not like you're at practice, right?

It's not like they would go in there and see Bear Bryant up in the tower, right?

Like it doesn't affect your enjoyment of Alabama football at all.

But I think just the knowledge that this was Bear Bryant's and it belonged to him and and now it's gone.

Look,

Yeah, Gene Stallings, who had the job for seven years, nineteen ninety to nineteen ninety-six, a Bear Bryant player played under him, a survivor of the Junction Boys camp, the Texas AM.

Um, and he got Alabama back to the top, restored them to the Bear Bryant glory days, at least temporarily.
