Today marks 43 years since the passing of Paul “Bear” Bryant, the man who didn’t just coach @AlabamaFTBL — he defined it. On Jan. 26, 1983, just more than a month after retiring, Bryant left this world, but his presence has never left Tuscaloosa.
Bryant finished with 323 career victories, a number that once stood as the all-time standard in college football. More than wins, he built a culture of toughness, discipline, and accountability that turned Alabama into a national symbol of excellence.
His six national championships (1961, 1964, 1965, 1973, 1978, 1979) weren’t just trophies — they were milestones in a dynasty that stretched across generations, eras, and styles of football. Bryant proved that greatness wasn’t a flash — it was a habit.
From Junction Boys grit to Bryant-Denny Stadium Saturdays, his influence shaped not just players, but an entire state. Coaches, athletes and fans alike still speak his name with reverence because his standard still lives in every Crimson Tide snap.
When Bryant stepped away in December 1982, he famously said, “I think I’ve been fortunate.” Alabama would argue it was the other way around. No program in the country was ever more fortunate to be led by one man.
Forty-three years later, we don’t just remember Bear Bryant — we still feel him in the Walk of Champions, in the roar of Bryant-Denny Stadium, and in every championship banner that followed. Legends never leave. They just become part of the fabric.
🐘 Forever the Bear. Forever The Standard.
A Message From Me to You
Today is one of the hardest days I’ve had in a long time. I don’t know if it was the dream I had last night or the reality I woke up to this morning, but something hit me deep. I’m fighting through a heaviness that I can’t shake, and I need to be honest about it.
I feel depressed in a way I’ve never experienced before. It’s a kind of loneliness that sits in the soul, even when people are around. Unless someone lives this battle every single day, it’s impossible to understand the emotional toll it takes just to keep going. I fight like hell, every day, only to watch my physical condition continue to decline. And today, that truth hurts more than usual.
I know things can get better. I know this moment won’t last forever. But right now is all I can see, and right now feels like a deep pit. I finally understand what depression really is and the cloud it casts over everything. The emotional pain is something I never imagined I would feel.
I’m doing my best to look toward heaven, even when my head feels too heavy to lift. I’m asking for your prayers—not out of weakness, but because I need every bit of strength I can get. I appreciate every person who holds me up, even quietly.
Tanja sees me every day, but she has no idea how deep this pit is. I don’t want to burden her with all of it, but I also can’t pretend I’m not struggling. So I’m saying it plainly: I need prayer. I need covering. I need someone to whisper my name in their quiet time.
If you’re reading this, I’m asking you to lift me up. I’m fighting, but today the fight is heavy. And I don’t want to face it alone.

Before exiting the post-game press conference, Germie Bernard had one last thing he wanted to say:
“I just want to give glory to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for allowing us to have this opportunity, for allowing this team to be here together in California, to enjoy this moment, even tho it didn’t go the way we wanted — there’s still a lot to be grateful for…”
Imagine an Iron Bowl Rematch at Jordan-Hare in a CFP semifinal. Or Texas-A&M at Kyle Field for a spot in the national championship.
That's what's going down in Montana on Saturday afternoon.
