[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 806811, member: 1640"] Correction. We like the guy because the whole football world liked the guy at the time. Paul Bryant said he was the best and most respected coach he ever faced. Even the Dallas Cowboys borrowed from him. No, loving Dodd was not just a Tech thing. He was known and appreciated throughout the country. And the SEC and, eventually the NCAA rules, were shamed into changes because of Dodd’s principled stand. It is only in hindsight that we see that he and Tech paid too big a price. Football has evolved light years since then in ways no one could have seen coming. College football was more important than pro sports back in the day and now major college sports are essentially the farm team for the pros. I wish there was someone as principled as Dodd to come along now and straighten up the current mess. [/QUOTE]
