[QUOTE="Sideways, post: 353958, member: 2451"] I distinctly remember reading a quote, perhaps from Taz Anderson or maybe Billy Lothridge to the effect that as a team they always expected to win because Dodd instilled that confidence in them that he would always think of something that would work. Opponents derisively called it "Dodd Luck" but it was actually a result of supreme self confidence that the players had in themselves and their coaches. Bear Bryant himself once said that by the early 1960s he was confident in his teams ability to beat just about anybody and he would rather look across the field and see anyone but "that damn Dodd". Confidence is a fragile thing that has to be nurtured and maintained on a football team. [/QUOTE]
