Alabama Football: The Crimson Tide program having two ‘Goats’ belies the fact being an Alabama Head Coach is tough duty.
Going back to Xen Scott’s first Alabama football season in 1919, the Alabama Crimson Tide has had 14 head coaches. Interims, like Joe Kines, are not included in the count, though one who never coached a game, Mike Price, is one of the 14.
Of the 13 who preceded Nick Saban, none of the exits were painless. Paul Bryant left on his own terms but it was clear to those close to him, his health has been damaged by decades of hard work (and some hard living).
