  February 12, 1966: Coach Paul W. Bryant officially quelled rumors that he will run for governor by issuing the following statement: “I feel the place for me to serve my state best is as head football coach at the University of Alabama. I thank all of those who have urged me to run, and I have given it careful consideration, but I’m a teacher, not a politician.” – Bryant Museum
