UA's dilemma

The University of Alabama continues to search for a coach who can follow one of football coaching's hardest acts — “The Bear.”

What Bama fans can't fathom is that even if they were able to hire a coach who was as good or better than Bear Bryant, they still couldn't follow his awesome act because “The Bear” act included unlimited recruitment of most football talent sought by SEC competitor coaches.

No UA coach will ever be able to perform “The Bear” act because he will be competing against awesome competitor talent, who in the day of Bryant would be firmly ensconced on the Bama bench.
