Something that I have been thinking about recently.

What if Coach Bryant had taken the original HC job with the Miami Dolphins? What if, after their first two years (1965 & 1966) he decided the pro game was not for him? What if, after their 5-4-1 season in 1966, LSU decided that instead of the Paul Bryant protege-Charlie McClendon- they could have him instead? What if coach Bryant had done all he did between 1967 and 1982 with LSU instead of with Bama?

Guys and gals, I wouldn't even be here writing this if all of the above had happened. I would have died of a stroke or heartbreak or something if Coach Bryant had spent his last 15 years at LSU.
 
OK, I'll bite.

It seems you are saying "what if Bryant left at the end of the '64 season?"

Well, chew on this one. Stallings left after the '64 season to take the HC job at Texas A&M. I'd bet he'd be the guy Bryant pegged to take over the program.

Do you see us missing a beat if that happened?

NOPE !!! :word:
 
What if Prothro wasn't playing the 4th quarter against FL and Bama went on to win it all with Shula.

Never would have happened with that what if...

The loss of Closner, who wasn't that good of a senior, is really what killed that team. Britt just couldn't handle the position.
 
The biggest what if to me ....

What if Cody didn't reach up as high as he did? What if Cody didn't find his way to Alabama? Are we looking at the crystal football in Tuscaloosa right now? Doubt it.

That would have certainly eased the pain.
