July 11, 201412 yr Author The little guy was named after the one I'm talking about. :clap: For what it's worth, you're in the neighborhood. It's not Bryant, but there's a connection to him.
July 11, 201412 yr Author George Blanda Not a personal connection to the guy in the photo, but a different kind of connection.
July 12, 201412 yr Author Bill Curry? There's actually a double connection there, albeit not a personal one. You guys are in the ballpark.
July 12, 201412 yr Author Charlie Bradshaw. Winner! Bradshaw, of course, was an assistant at Alabama under the Bear and alongside Stallings. And he's loosely connected to Curry, with the two having coached at Alabama and Kentucky, although not at the same time. I saw that photo sitting out in our archive room and the guy looked familiar, and when I looked on the back of the pic it had all the info. It looked like an old press photo that UK probably sent out to local papers back during Bradshaw's reign of terror at UK.

What is the reign of terror you are referring to?
