One bad hit created beef between Bear Bryant and Bobby Dodd and altered the SEC forever
Bear Bryant and Bobby Dodd are two of the greatest coaches that college football has ever seen. Importantly for us, these legends also shared admiration for one another, which blossomed into a friendship that endured through many years.
"Wait, but this is beef? Why is that lucky?" Well, if you'd let me finish, I'd tell you.
Those good vibes lasted until they were forced to share the SEC. As the Alabama vs. Georgia Tech clashes became more contentious, and things took an abrupt turn in the coaches’ personal relationship, which impacted both on and off the field. From the teams ending their annual matchup to Tech leaving the conference to the coaches not speaking for years and years, this beef left quite a mark.
