[QUOTE="Sideways, post: 283599, member: 2451"] I understand your point, which is a good observation but if you were a fan in those days it really was not so amazing. Dodd could sell sand to an Arab and got good players from across the South on a pretty much continuous basis. Players in those days from the rural South wanted badly to come to Atlanta and he had their parents eating out of his hand in no time worth mentioning. He was also a pretty good game day coach according to no less authority than Bear Bryant who said many times that Dodd was the best. Dodd's main problem was...wait for it... Calculus. Not to mention pending integration, the Falcons, and a host of other problems he did not want to deal with. He was a great football coach and a wonderful leader of young men but an absolute disaster as a athletic director. IMHO [/QUOTE]
