He has a big say in the goings on, but not as big as many would have you believe.

He owns a huge ReadyMix operation and is worth millions!

He has a son by the name of Paul W. Bryant Jr. that has no reason to raise funds. He has more money than probably the two next wealthiest people in the state of Alabama. He owns Bryant bank and they are opening everywhere in the state. He still ownds the oilwells that were given to coach Bryant by boosters when he was at aTm. He is a very wealthy man and you never see him in public. They say he looks just like coach Bryant. I have been a BAMA fan my entire life and I have never seen him in person, in the paper, or anywhere. He is kind of a mystery man of sorts.

Scoop, I've heard that he is the power behind the throne in Alabama football. My sources say that he is practically obsessed with protecting his father's legacy. If Nick isn't getting along with Bryant, Jr. he will have a miserable and probably short tenure there. Bryant could buy Nick out with pocket change. He is low key and avoids the spotlight but he is fierce in protecting what he sees is his turf. Don't f&%k with him.
I admit that this is second hand information so take it for what you want.

That is true. I don't think it is Bryant that he doesn't get along with but another big booster. Bryant jr. definitely protects his dads image. Remember the movie Crimson Tide, about the submarines? The dog in that movie was named "Bear" and the Bryant family sued them.
If Saban gets along with Bryant jr. he will be protected from the rest becasue jr. can fund the program on his own.
I can tell you this...when they decided to fire shula there was a 4.5 million dollar buyout and they had a check from only two boosters to cover that cost within an hour of their decision. They have deep pockets.

That is what everyone has always said. They say that in a coat and tie and a hat, that it is strange he looks so much like him.
I have always wondered why they don't just hire him as the head coach, give him the houndstooth and just hire a great offensive and defensive coordinator. Hell everyone wants Bear back anyway. People would shite if they actually did that.
