Coach Bryant Documentary- Ain't Nothing But a Winner

Here is my annual post to remember Coach Bryant.

In January 2022, I received permission from Tom Brakefield to have access and use his extensive private collection of Bear Bryant videos inside the Bryant Museum and Gorgas Library in order to produce original coaching training content and curriculum specifically for BWD athletics.

It took me over a year to pour through almost 20 hours of old video footage- some of which had never been digitized before I made the request.


One of the videos I uncovered was the documentary, "Ain't Nothing But a Winner" and it brought such great memories. The clip I am sharing today was put together by a sports psychologist in the early 80's that used the occasion of the historic 315th win vs Auburn as a microcosm of Bryant's philosophy and program.

I edited it down so you can watch it in one sitting- and will from time to time share clips for you to enjoy.


Coach Bryant's famous mumble is sometimes hard to understand, but there is some great wisdom in team building here.
