Plenty of Alabama fans should have little problem naming three of the four men who served as head football coaches at both Alabama and Texas A&M.
Thereās Bear Bryant (1954-57 at A&M, 1958-82 at Alabama), Gene Stallings (1965-71 at A&M, 1990-96 at Alabama) and Dennis Franchione (2001-02 at Alabama, 2003-07 at Texas A&M).
Bryant and Stallings each won a conference championship at A&M. Stallingsā 1967 team won the Cotton Bowl over Alabama. Only two Texas A&M teams have won the Cotton Bowl since then, and both were coached by a former Alabama player, Jackie Sherrill, whose 1985 and 1987 teams won that bowl game.
But Sherrill never was head coach at Alabama, so heās not the fourth name on the list.
The fourth might require a little research, even for the biggest Alabama fan.
