Matt Crawford speaks with veteran award winning sportswriter Tom Shanahan about his book, The Right Thing to Do: The True Pioneers of College Football Integration. The stories of these groundbreaking college football pioneers and the coaches who fought for integration—led by Michigan State's Duffy Daugherty and his coaching tree, featuring the likes of Dan Devine, Chuck Fairbanks and Bill Yeoman—are compiled for the first time in The Right Thing to Do: The True Pioneers of College Football Integration. From award-winning journalist Tom Shanahan, The Right Thing to Do addresses the official racial quota system in the 1960s college football world and the “Conspiracy of Silence” in the sports press, avoiding any mention of racial politics. It also addresses carefully crafted but totally false myths from the era, including the role of Alabama's Paul “Bear” Bryant in college football integration—a role where Bryant was a laggard, not a leader.

A man of vision who has a proven record of championship success, head coach Nick Saban has returned the University of Alabama to the top of the college football landscape with his commitment to building the total program. After the victory over Clemson in the 2016 College Football Playoff National Championship Game, Saban joined Paul "Bear" Bryant as the only two coaches to win five national titles in the modern era. Beginning his 11th season in Tuscaloosa, Saban's uncompromising dedication to excellence in every phase of the program has resulted four national championships over the last seven years. A seven-time National Coach of the Year, Saban has achieved resounding success as a head coach and has earned a reputation as an outstanding tactician, leader, organizer and motivator. Those qualities have sparked impressive turnarounds at every stop of his career. Saban's consistent approach and disciplined leadership are the reasons his teams are known for exhibiting grit, determination and resilience, often overcoming adversity to achieve victory. Saban's 2016 squad completed an undefeated regular season for the first time since 2009 and secured the program's 26th SEC Championship – the third straight for the program – and the fourth in the last five years. The Tide defeated Washington in the semifinals of the College Football Playoff in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl (24-7), before dropping a stunning 34-31 game to Clemson in the CFP National Championship Game in Tampa, Fla. Alabama finished with a 14-1 record after defeating nine ranked teams and 11 teams that qualified for bowl games during the 2016 season. Alabama finished the year No. 2 in the national polls. Saban, who was named the SEC Coach of the Year and Munger Award National Coach of the Year (presented by the Maxwell Football Club), had five players earn first team All-America honors – Jonathan Allen, Minkah Fitzpatrick, Reuben Foster, Marlon Humphrey and Cam Robinson. Allen also captured the Nagurski Trophy and the Bednarik Award, both of which go to the national defensive player of the year, and the Hendricks Award as the nation's top defensive end, while Foster won the Butkus Award that is given to the nation's best linebacker, and Robinson captured the Outland Trophy. The senior class posted a NCAA-record 51-6 record from 2013-16 and a 64-7 over the last six years which is also the best in NCAA annals.   Saban has compiled a 205-61-1 (.770) record as a college head coach and has gone 112-13 (.896) in the past nine seasons in Tuscaloosa, which includes a 64-8 (.889) mark in regular season conference play. In 2016, the Tide reached the 10-win milestone for the ninth consecutive season and won 11 or more games for the sixth straight year, which extended the conference record. Saban is 12-2 all time in conference or national championship games. Alabama has been ranked No. 1 in the Associated Press poll for at least one week for nine straight years, which broke the all-time record of seven established by Miami (1986-92). Alabama extended its streak of consecutive weeks in the AP Top 25 to 145 weeks, the longest in school history. The 2015 team secured the Crimson Tide's fourth national championship in the last seven years. They became the first team to win back-to-back Southeastern Conference Championships in 17 years (Tennessee, 1997-98) and were the only program to earn an invitation to each of the first two College Football Playoffs. Saban led his team to victories in the final 12 games of the season, including wins at No. 8 Georgia, at No. 9 Texas A&M, vs. No. 4 LSU, at No. 17 Mississippi State, against No. 18 Florida in the SEC Championship Game, vs. No. 3 Michigan State in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl and over No. 1 Clemson in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game. The senior class won a school-record 50 games (50-6) over their four years with three SEC Championships and two national titles. The Crimson Tide featured Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry, who also captured the Maxwell Award, Walter Camp Player of the Year and Doak Walker Award. Ryan Kelly won the Rimington Trophy as the nation's top center. Linebacker Reggie Ragland was a finalist for the Butkus Award, Nagurski Trophy and the Bednarik Award, while A'Shawn Robinson was a finalist for Outland Trophy. The offensive line was also awarded the Joe Moore Award, which goes to the nation's toughest line. All four of the Tide's finalists garnered first team All-America honors, while Eddie Jackson was a second-team selection. Henry set school records for rushing yards (2,219), rushing touchdowns (28), rushing attempts (395) and all-purpose yardage (2,310). A trademark of Saban-coached teams, the Tide ranked among the nation's best on both sides of the ball, checking in at No. 1 in the country in rushing defense, No. 3 in total defense and scoring defense, and eighth in pass efficiency defense while averaging 199.9 rushing yards and 227.1 passing yards per game on offense. Special teams were also impressive in 2015 with Cyrus Jones setting the SEC record with four punt returns for touchdowns and place-kicker Adam Griffith connecting on 23 of his final 28 field goals. Saban's on-side kick call in the national championship game proved key, propelling the Crimson Tide to the program's 16th national title. In the classroom, the numbers were just as astounding, as UA had a nation-leading 29 graduates on the roster for the bowl game including three players with their master's degree in hand. He is the first coach to win back-to-back BCS national championships and has won five titles in his last 11 years of coaching college football. Saban is one of three college coaches in the poll era (since 1936) to win three national championships in four years, joining Frank Leahy of Notre Dame (1946-47, 1949) and Tom Osborne of Nebraska (1994-95, 1997). He is also just the second (Leahy) to win four titles in seven years. He is the second coach in the poll era to win at least five national championships (Paul "Bear" Bryant). Saban, the 2014 Bobby Dodd National Coach of the Year, led the Crimson Tide to the top seed in the first College Football Playoff at the 2015 Allstate Sugar Bowl, Alabama's 24th SEC Championship and a 12-2 record. Alabama won its final eight games to earn a spot in the playoff, including a closing gauntlet that included wins at No. 14 LSU, over No. 1 Mississippi State, against No. 15 Auburn and versus No. 14 Missouri in the SEC Championship. The 2014 senior class finished with a 48-6 record over four years and went to four straight New Year's Six Bowls, including national championships in 2011 and 2012. The Crimson Tide featured Heisman Trophy finalist and UA's first-ever Biletnikoff Award winner Amari Cooper and Nagurski Trophy and Thorpe Award finalist Landon Collins. Along with Cooper and Collins, Ray Guy Award finalist punter JK Scott, linebacker Trey DePriest and offensive guard Arie Kouandjio garnered first team All-America honors. SEC Championship Game MVP Blake Sims set school records for total offense (3,837 yards) and passing yards (3,487), while Cooper established UA marks in every receiving category. The Tide ranked among the nation's best on both sides of the ball, checking in at No. 6 in the country in scoring defense and 15th overall in scoring offense. In the classroom, Alabama had 22 graduates on the roster for the bowl game (tied for the most in the nation) and seven players with their master's degree in hand (first in the nation). Saban led the 2013 Alabama team to the Allstate Sugar Bowl, making a sixth straight New Year's bowl appearance and the third straight in a BCS bowl. That senior class posted a remarkable record of 60-7 over their last five years with four bowl wins and three national titles. Their record in the classroom was just as impressive as 28 Crimson Tide graduates took the field for the bowl matchup with Oklahoma. Senior quarterback AJ McCarron was named a first team All-American, won the Maxwell and Unitas Awards, and finished as the runner-up in the Heisman Trophy voting while directing one of the most productive offenses in school history. On the other side of the ball, senior linebacker C.J. Mosley took home Alabama's third Butkus Trophy and earned All-America honors for the second straight year as he led a defense that entered the bowl game ranked second nationally in fewest points allowed. Safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix and offensive tackle Cyrus Kouandjio joined McCarron and Mosley as first team All-Americans. Alabama remained at the forefront of the college football world in 2012 with an explosive offense and a retooled defense that maintained its place as one of the most dominant units in the nation. The Crimson Tide won the program's 23rd SEC championship (the most in league history) with a victory over Georgia that propelled Alabama into the 2013 Discover BCS National Championship Game, where they soundly defeated Notre Dame by a score of 42-14 to earn the school's 15th national title. For his efforts following the season, Saban was named the Bobby Bowden National Coach of the Year, his third such honor in his previous four years. Under Saban's guidance, Alabama boasted a 978 APR score that ranked 11th nationally in 2012 and second in the SEC. The Crimson Tide also had a 75 percent graduation rate, which was among the best in the nation. The Alabama defense led the nation in rush defense (76.4 ypg), total defense (250.0 ypg), and scoring defense (10.9 ppg) in 2012. The Tide offense ranked 12th nationally in scoring at 38.7 points per game, 16th nationally in rushing at 227.5 yards per game and set a school record with 542 points scored in 2012. The Crimson Tide featured four first team All-Americans in 2012, including two along the offensive line in center Barrett Jones and left guard Chance Warmack. A pair of defensive standouts also earned All-America honors in cornerback Dee Milliner and Mosley. Jones captured the Rimington Trophy, presented to the nation's best center, and the prestigious Campbell Award, as the student-athlete who best combined performance on the field, success in the classroom and service away from the field. The 2012 senior class set school and SEC records for wins, while garnering a 49-5 record since 2009, a mark that tied Nebraska's NCAA record 49 wins from 1994-97. It also broke the Cornhuskers' record (60 wins from 1993-97) for the most major college football victories in a five-year period with 61 (2008-12). The 2011 squad produced one of the most dominant defenses in the history of college football and captured Alabama's 14th national championship with a 21-0 victory over LSU in the BCS National Championship Game. The Tide defense led the nation in all major categories, becoming the second team since national statistics have been compiled, and the first since 1986 (Oklahoma), to accomplish that feat. UA allowed only 8.2 points per game, 183.6 total yards, 72.2 rushing yards, 111.5 passing yards and an 83.7 pass efficiency defense. Alabama finished with a 12-1 record. Saban's 2011 senior class won 48 games over the span of four seasons (2008-11). Seven members of the 2011 Crimson Tide (including five on defense) were recognized as first team All-Americans by major media outlets, while Jones took home Alabama's third Outland Trophy and Heisman Trophy finalist Trent Richardson received the Tide's first Doak Walker Award. The team was recognized with the Disney Spirit Award, which was presented to snapper Carson Tinker, for the team's response in the community following a tornado that devastated Tuscaloosa on April 27, 2011. Jones also received the ARA Sportsmanship Award and the Wuerffel Trophy. Saban's efforts earned him the Bobby Bowden National Coach of the Year Award. The Tide also had extensive success in the classroom with 38 SEC Academic Honor Roll selections (a league record) and produced one Academic All-American in Jones. Despite a young roster that listed only eight scholarship seniors, the 2010 Alabama team finished with its third consecutive 10-win season following a dominant 49-7 win over Michigan State in the Capital One Bowl. Five players were named first team All-SEC by either the AP or the league coaches, while six more earned second team All-SEC honors. Most impressively, two players (quarterback Greg McElroy and Jones) were named first team CoSIDA/ESPN Academic All-Americans, which marked two consecutive years in which Alabama boasted two of the three CoSIDA/ESPN Academic All-Americans in the SEC. McElroy, the ESPN Academic All-American of the Year, was named a National Football Foundation National-Scholar-Athlete as a finalist for the Campbell Trophy. The 2009 season at Alabama turned out to be one of the most memorable in program history, as the Tide compiled a perfect 14-0 mark and won the 2009 BCS National Championship by defeating Texas, 37-21, at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif. Alabama earned a spot in the title game with a resounding 32-13 win over defending national champion Florida in the SEC Championship Game, as the Tide moved to No. 1 in both major polls. The SEC championship was the program's 22nd. On Dec. 12, 2009, more history was made for both Alabama and Saban when running back Mark Ingram became the first Heisman Trophy winner for both. Saban's 2009 squad also was prominent when it came to other honors, as Rolando McClain received the Butkus Award as the nation's top linebacker and six players earned first-team AP All-America status — a college football record. After the perfect 2009 season concluded, Saban was presented with the first Bobby Bowden National Coach of the Year Award. In addition to the on-field success, the 2009 Tide active roster featured a nation's-best 13 players who had already graduated. That number increased to 22 players with degrees for the bowl game. Saban's first Alabama team finished 7-6 in 2007, but the 2008 season saw a vastly improved squad take the field. Saban's influence had taken hold in Tuscaloosa and – behind a small and united senior class along with a talented group of newcomers – the Tide returned to national prominence. Alabama developed a reputation as the most physical football team in the country and methodically dominated the competition. Saban produced the largest win increase from year one to year two in school history, as the Tide went from a seven-win team in 2007 to 12 wins in 2008. Alabama swept through the 2008 regular season schedule with a 12-0 record, moving to No. 1 in all of the polls and capturing the SEC Western Division Championship before falling late to Florida in a hard-fought SEC Championship Game. The team's efforts earned them a trip to the Allstate Sugar Bowl for the 13th time in school history. Saban was named the 2008 Home Depot Coach of the Year at the ESPN Awards Show and won several other national coach-of-the-year honors including the FWAA/Eddie Robinson, Associated Press, Sporting News, Walter Camp Football Foundation and Liberty Mutual. Lessons learned from the 2007 season – which was capped with a win over Colorado in the Independence Bowl – no doubt carried into spring and summer preparations for the 2008 run. The win also continued an impressive streak for Saban as he has yet to have a losing season as a college head coach. Of the six losses in 2007, none was by more than seven points. In addition to an improvement in the win column from the year prior, the 2008 signing class was rated by many analysts as the best in the country. Off the field, the focus on academics by Saban and his staff made an immediate impact, as the 2007 team put together one of the finest academic fall semesters in school history. The freshman class set a solid foundation for their future at Alabama as they led the way with an impressive combined grade-point average of 3.10 in the fall. Before arriving in Tuscaloosa, Saban's most recent college head coaching stint was a five-season run at LSU that produced a record of 48-16 (.750), one national championship (2003), two Southeastern Conference championships, three SEC Western Division championships, and a 3-2 record in bowl games with two Sugar Bowl victories and a Peach Bowl win. LSU constructed a 28-12 (.700) record against SEC opponents under Saban's guidance. He was named the 2003 National Coach of the Year by the Associated Press and earned both the Paul W. "Bear" Bryant National Coach of the Year Award and the Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award by the Football Writers Association of America. Saban was named SEC Coach of the Year twice (by The Birmingham News in 2001 and by the Associated Press in 2003) while at LSU. Saban took over the Alabama program after serving two seasons at the helm of the Miami Dolphins. Saban's teams showed marked improvement over the unit he inherited. Taking over a team that finished 4-12 in 2004, Saban led the 2005 Dolphins to a 9-7 record, the third-biggest turnaround in the NFL that season and the second-highest victory turnaround for a Dolphins team in any non-strike season. Most impressively, the Dolphins finished 2005 on a six-game winning streak to end the year, the longest streak in the NFL that season. Prior to his stint at Miami, Saban's impact on the LSU program transcended the success on the field. His commitment to building the total program, placing education first and instilling discipline with responsibility on and off the field transformed the Tigers into a force on the national stage. LSU produced 84 Academic All-SEC honorees in Saban's five seasons, including 25 members of the 2003 national championship squad. LSU's graduation rate for football players improved dramatically under his watch and two players – offensive tackle Rodney Reed (2002 and 2003) and offensive lineman Rudy Niswanger (2004) – earned first team Academic All-America honors. Linebacker Bradie James earned a postgraduate scholarship from the National Football Foundation (2003). Saban also spearheaded a $15 million fundraising effort to construct a new academic center for student-athletes at LSU, and he and his players were active in community involvement in the Baton Rouge area, taking part in community service projects, visiting schools to mentor children, and taking time to visit local hospitals on a regular basis. More than 50 of Saban's LSU players earned their college degrees, in addition to 28 who were selected in the NFL draft (seven in both 2004 and 2006). Named head coach at LSU on Nov. 30, 1999, Saban led an immediate turnaround of a program that had suffered through seven losing seasons during the 1990s. His 48 victories over five seasons ranked third among Division I-A head coaches during that time. Saban, Paul Dietzel and current LSU head coach Les Miles are the only coaches in the program's history to post multiple 10-win seasons. Saban, Dietzel and Bernie Moore are the only head coaches in Tiger history to win two SEC titles. Saban's 2000 Tigers rebounded from two straight losing seasons to post an 8-4 record, capped by a 31-20 win over No. 15 Georgia Tech in the Peach Bowl. Victories over Tennessee and Mississippi State highlighted that season, along with a key road win at Ole Miss. The 2001 Tigers improved to 10-3 overall and won the program's first outright SEC title since 1986 with a 31-20 win over second-ranked Tennessee in the SEC Championship Game. An impressive second half against the Volunteers was a trademark of Saban's coaching acumen, as LSU outscored the Vols 21-3 in the final half to erase a 17-10 deficit. They won the game despite the absence of starting quarterback Rohan Davey and running back LaBrandon Toefield. Sparked by one of the most prolific offenses in the nation, a unit that averaged 451.5 yards per game, the Tigers capped the 2001 season with a 47-34 defeat of Big Ten champion Illinois in the Sugar Bowl, LSU's first victory in a New Year's Day bowl game since 1968. Stifling defense was the trademark of the 2002 Tigers. LSU posted an 8-5 record and a second straight New Year's Day bowl appearance. The Tigers, who faced Texas in the Cotton Bowl, held opponents to under 275 yards per game through the season's first six games and scored a school-record 30 or more points in six straight games. LSU just missed winning a second consecutive SEC West title, as a last-minute comeback by Arkansas in the regular-season finale prevented LSU from another appearance in the SEC Championship Game. That LSU team overcame the midseason loss of starting quarterback Matt Mauck, free safety Damien James and Toefield in successive weeks to make a run at an SEC Western Division title. Saban's philosophy of "out of yourself and into the team" paid huge dividends in 2003. The Tigers produced a 13-1 record, won their second SEC championship and earned the school's second national championship with a squad that was among the nation's most dominant on both sides of the line of scrimmage. The LSU offense scored a school-record 475 points (33.9 per game) while holding 13 of 14 opponents to fewer than 20 points. LSU's defense ranked first nationally in points allowed per game (11.0) and total defense (252.0 yards per game). After a 7-1 start, LSU ended the season with six dominating victories by an average margin of 35-10. An impressive 34-13 victory over Georgia in the 2003 SEC title game paved LSU's way to an appearance in the BCS Championship Game against top-ranked Oklahoma. The Tigers produced a dominant defensive effort against the Sooners in the Sugar Bowl, limiting the Sooners to 154 yards of total offense in a 21-14 victory. Saban's final LSU team in 2004 overcame the loss of 13 players from the 2003 squad who went on to NFL rosters, posting a 9-3 record while producing the SEC's best rushing offense (200.7 yards per game). The Tiger defense ranked third nationally during the regular season in total defense (249.9 yards per game) and passing defense (145.4 yards per game), allowing only 15.9 points per contest. Over its final six games, the 2004 LSU defense allowed only 12 points in the second half on the way to a berth in the Capital One Bowl against Iowa – LSU's fourth consecutive January bowl berth (a first for the Tiger program). Saban served as head coach at Michigan State from 1995-99, his second stint at the East Lansing school as he also spent 1983-87 as the Spartans' defensive coordinator/secondary coach. After playing in only one bowl game in the previous four years, Michigan State made four postseason appearances in Saban's five years at the helm. Saban led MSU to a 34-24-1 (.585) record. In 1999, Saban led his final Spartans team to a No. 7 national ranking, finishing in a tie for second place in the Big Ten. The Spartans defeated Notre Dame, Michigan, Ohio State and Penn State in the same year for the first time since 1965 and recorded six wins at home for the first time since the 1912 season. The Spartans' performance that year landed them a spot in the Citrus Bowl. Michigan State led the Big Ten in rushing defense (77.0 ypg) and total defense (299.0 ypg) while ranking fifth nationally in rushing defense and 11th in total defense. The MSU offense averaged 31.0 points per game. Saban was the first coach in school history to put the Spartans in postseason bowl games in each of his first three seasons – as he led Michigan State to the Independence Bowl in 1995, the Sun Bowl in 1996 and the Aloha Bowl in 1997. Before Michigan State, Saban spent four seasons (1991-94) as defensive coordinator with the Cleveland Browns under head coach Bill Belichick. The Browns went from allowing the most points (462) in the NFL prior to Saban's arrival to allowing the fewest points (204) in the league in 1994, the sixth-fewest points surrendered in NFL history at the time. In each of Saban's four years guiding the Browns defense, they never permitted an average of more than 19.2 points per game. He built a reputation as one of the finest defensive coaches in the league and also was heavily involved in the team's player personnel and scouting process. Saban's first head coaching position came at the University of Toledo in 1990, as he guided the Rockets to a record of 9-2 that year, finishing as co-champions of the Mid-American Conference. The Rockets ranked among the NCAA leaders in both total defense (12th at 284.8 ypg) and scoring defense (16th at 16.2 ppg) and missed posting an undefeated record by a mere five points. Saban joined Toledo after serving as secondary coach with the Houston Oilers for two seasons under Jerry Glanville (1988-89), his first NFL coaching position. He quickly made an impact on the Oilers defense, as the team's secondary tied for fourth in the AFC in 1988 with 21 interceptions and then tied for second in the conference in 1989 with 22 picks. In his first stint at Michigan State, Saban served as secondary coach and defensive coordinator under George Perles from 1983-87. Saban played an integral part in helping the Spartans make three postseason bowl appearances, including a Big Ten championship in 1987 and a 20-17 victory over Southern California in the 1988 Rose Bowl. Michigan State led the nation in rushing defense in 1987, (61.2 ypg) and ranked second in scoring defense (12.4 ppg). A native of Fairmont, W. Va., Saban is a 1973 graduate of Kent State University where he earned a bachelor's degree in business. He earned a master's degree in sports administration from Kent State in 1975. Born Oct. 31, 1951, Saban and his wife, the former Terry Constable, have two children, Nicholas and Kristen. They have been married for 44 years and are enjoying the company of their granddaughter, Amélie, a daughter-in-law Kelsé and son-in-law Adam Setas. Saban co-authored "Tiger Turnaround" in 2001, documenting his first two years at LSU. He then co-authored "How Good Do You Want to Be?" in 2005, a book that offers real-life principles for success at work and at home. In addition to their work as fundraisers for LSU's Student-Athlete Academic Center, the Sabans supported several charitable and civic projects in Louisiana. The largest of those efforts was with the Children's Miracle Network, for which Terry and Nick Saban raised more than $100,000 per year. At Michigan State, the Sabans started the Nick's Kids Foundation, which they have continued in Tuscaloosa, a vibrant example of their continuing concern for disadvantaged children. Since Nick and Terry arrived in Tuscaloosa, nearly $6 million has been distributed to students, teachers and children's causes at over 150 charities through the Nick's Kids Foundation. The Sabans also have played a big role in tornado relief efforts in Tuscaloosa and the surrounding areas. Immediately following the devastating storm on April 27, 2011, Nick and Terry visited shelters where they paid for and served meals to those in need. Through Nick's Kids, the Sabans joined with Project Team Up and Habitat for Humanity in helping to rebuild 15 homes lost in the tornado. After the Crimson Tide's 16th national championship in 2015, the Sabans began work on the 16th Habitat for Humanity home. With support and donations from the Sabans, St. Francis Catholic Church broke ground on the Saban Catholic Student Center. In receiving the 2008 Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year Award, Saban was awarded a $50,000 gift at the A-Day Game. He designated the gift for Nick's Kids, as well as an additional $20,000 gift for The University of Alabama scholarship fund. In June of 2008, the Sabans announced a $1 million gift to benefit Alabama's first-generation scholarship program. The gift has a special meaning to the Sabans, as both Nick and Terry were first-generation graduates.

Entering his 10th year as head coach, which makes him the longest tenured head coach in Kentucky football history, Mark Stoops continue to set the standard for the program. In January, the VRBO Citrus Bowl was a cool-record six consecutive bowl games and a fourth straight bowl win. The victory over Iowa was the 16th straight non-conference win which is the longest active streak in the country. In addition, Stoops has 59 wins in the Blue and White, needing only two more triumphs to surpass the school standard of 60 set by Paul “Bear” Bryant. Coach Stoops track record at Kentucky is evidence of his ability to build and maintain a strong football culture. He discusses that process in today's episode from the Alabama Football Coaches Association Clinic.

John Hannah was a National Champion at The University of Alabama under legendary coach Paul "Bear" Bryant and then spent 13 seasons with the New England Patriots on his way to the NFL Hall of Fame and being named the greatest offensive tackle to ever play the game.

An Official Miami Dolphins Podcast Despite an injury-shortened career that lasted just eight seasons, Dwight Stephenson is universally regarded as one of, if not the greatest center to ever play the game. The Miami Dolphins second-round draft choice in 1980 followed back-to-back national championships at the University of Alabama with five Pro Bowl appearances, 4 First-Team All Pro nods, the 1985 NFL Man of the Year Award, a forever home in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and a spot on the NFL's 100th Anniversary All-Time Team. In the tank, Dwight discusses how the Hampton, Virginia native ended up at Alabama under legendary head coach Paul “Bear” Bryant (5:55), recalls how intimidating Dolphins coaching icon Don Shula could be (9:37), reflects upon his one-armed performance against William “The Refrigerator” Perry in the team's epic 1985 victory over the Chicago Bears (16:23), explains why he often had to quiet down an excitable Miami huddle when Mark Duper and Mark Clayton were around (20:45), laments breaking Kim Bokamper's ankle (25:33) and Dan Marino's finger (29:04), and openly details the circumstances surrounding the injury that ended his storied career (40:11). Contributors to this episode include Sean “DJ Prec” Todd and Dolphins Productions. Theme song created and performed by The Honorable SoLo D.

Today we discuss the greatest coach in the Alabama Crimson Tide's history. For a program that dates back to 1892, amongst the chant ‘Roll Tide', 18 National Championships, 3 Heisman Winner and of course, one elephant, there is a question that lingers. Who is Alabama's greatest coach? About as difficult a question as one can ask is to select the best coach of a program that is home to 3 legendary coaches, each deserving of the moniker greatest coach at Alabama as well as the greatest coach in the history of college football. It comes down to an argument between three coaches Wallace Wade, Paul Bear Bryant and Nick Saban. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jay-abramson/support

I'm reading a new book called Peak by Dr Marc Bubbs, It's called The New Science of Athletic Performance That is Revolutionising Sports. It's a slow read for me and I and dipping into different bits each day. I came across this new chapter quote that i thought was quite an insight, that being: “It's not the will to win that matters. It's the will to prepare to win that matters” - Paul “Bear” Bryant. I think this rings true with just getting fit, you have to prepare to get fit, which I think requires time, learning, listening and above all a willingness to commit, preparing costs nothing, but doing the prep will allow you to get to where you want to be.

When you talk about the New York Jets football team, no one has seen more Jets football over the past 40 years than a former member of the "New York Sack Exchange" defensive lineman Marty Lyons. Lyons has lived a football life having played for Paul "Bear" Bryant at Alabama, where he won a National Championship (1978) before being drafted by the Jets in the first round (14th overall pick) of the 1979 NFL Draft where he'd team up with Mark Gastineau, Abdul Salaam, and Joe Klecko to form one of the top defensive lines in the NFL. After his playing career, Lyons has worked as a radio analyst for Jets games, became Vice President of Public Relations at The LandTek Group, and Founder/Chairman of the Marty Lyons Foundation. In this episode of In The Trenches with Dave Lapham presented by First Star Logistics, Marty Lyons talks about the struggles the Jets have faced this season, what he's seen out of the Cincinnati Bengals and standouts Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase, and a look at Sunday's game between the Bengals and Jets.

Vince Lombardi was one of the greatest NFL coaches of all time. He won two Super Bowls and 5 NFL Championships. John Wooden won 10 national college NCAA championships over his 27 years. Arguably the greatest college coach of all time. Paul Bear Bryant won 6 national championships at Alabama over his 25-year coaching career there. Do coaches make a difference in outcomes? Do mentors make a difference in outcomes? The answer is YES! What makes a great mentor or coach? Here are a few things they bring to the table. • Experience – been there done that. “They can give you some shortcuts. • Hard Knocks – they “failed forward” to gain wisdom. Wisdom can't be taught, it's learned. • Save You – from having to make the same mistakes. • Technique – they know the technical part of the journey and can show you • Watch & Observe – if you observe their life you'll gain more than from what they teach I often say the difference in a mentor versus a coach is a mentor models while a coach teaches and guides. The coach requires accountability to a process. The mentor inspires through example. I've had both in my life. They both inspired me to be something greater than what I could have been alone. Do you have that person in your life? I'm getting a bit older now. I'm not on the road speaking and teaching like I use to be. That means I can invest in others through technology and personal engagement. So here's the deal. I'm starting a TGIF CEO Roundtable June 15. I can only handle 14 Christian CEOs or executive level leaders. Are you one of them?

Hi, my name is Shawn Wright, the host, and creator of Alabama Short Stories. The podcast that was created to celebrate those stories about Alabama that you don't hear about often, if ever. They are the stories that were not shared in your fourth-grade civics class. In the first season, we share two different stories of Alabama high school sports teams that had to overcome obstacles on their way towards a state championship. One team gets there and another doesn't. We tell the stories of two distinct painters in Huntsville. One trained in Europe before making his way to the American south while another spent her life in anonymity painting on spider webs. In Birmingham, one company starts the first radio station in Alabama while another decides it can best promote its company with a replica of Lady Liberty. We talk about sending monkeys into space and having to watch out for objects returning from space. And we talk about the windshield wiper. You can thank a woman from Birmingham for helping us see our way.To start it off, we tell the story of University of Alabama coach Paul “Bear” Bryant and a call to his mama.Join us to hear these stories in season one of the Alabama Short Stories podcast.

For Friday's episode of The Sports Scouting Report Podcast With Lee Brecheen, Lee catches up with legendary Mississippi State quarterback John Bond, who was the only quarterback in college football history to defeat LSU four times from 1980-1983. Bond also led the Bulldogs to one of the biggest victories in program history with a 6-3 victory over Paul "Bear" Bryant's Alabama Crimson Tide in 1980. Another incredible feat Bond accomplished was that his rushing total stood for a SEC record until the likes of Matt Jones (Arkansas), Tim Tebow (Florida), and Mississippi State's own Dak Prescott and Nick Fitzgerald broke his record. For today's episode, Bond talks about his greatest memories playing at Starkville, his thoughts on how head coach Mike Leach is doing with the current Mississippi State program, the new NCAA transfer rule, and finally, talks about being the head football coach at St. Joseph Catholic High School in Madison, Mississippi.

On the ninth episode of “Great Dane Nation,” Morten is joined by his Pro Football Hall of Fame brother and New York Jets legend Joe Namath (03:45 – 55:25). But first, he checks in with TommyFreezePops (Tom Carroll) to talk about a big few days for Morten, both for his alma mater and his personal life! Morten breaks down Michigan State’s huge upset victory over #13 Michigan, and let’s just say he’s a very proud Spartan after that performance (01:42). Morten then talks about participating in his very first U.S. Presidential Election on Tuesday, as he became a U.S. citizen last year (02:18).We then move to our interview with Joe, where he discusses a wide array of topics: remaining safe and healthy during the COVID-19 pandemic (04:56); growing up in the blue collar suburbs of Pittsburgh (05:22); how lucky he was to work and play for the original ownership group of the New York Jets (07:19); Sonny Werblin negotiating contracts with him at Ronald Regan’s house before he was a politician (08:44); being star-struck when meeting Rocky Marciano and actor Pat O’Brien on a U.S.O. tour in Vietnam (09:36); talking about his famous guarantee ahead of Super Bowl III (10:55); the origin of the “Broadway Joe” nickname (11:43); how little players were paid during his era, and what he thinks about the Patrick Mahomes contract (14:26); his thoughts on the 0-8 Jets and why he thinks Adam Gase should keep his job as head coach (16:32); why he thinks Trevor Lawrence would be a great fit for the Jets, and why no one would pass on him at #1 in the NFL Draft (20:54); insight into why Eli Manning didn’t want to play in San Diego (22:15); leaving the Jets to play for the Los Angeles Rams in his final season (24:18); why he chose to retire and head into “show business” (28:05); hanging out with Elvis Presley in Las Vegas (29:15); how he became friends with Mickey Mantle (30:54); meeting Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra, and what Frank’s nickname was for Joe (34:26); how he became friends with Muhammad Ali (35:17); dealing with adversity in the public light (37:35); the impact Paul “Bear” Bryant had on his life while playing college football at Alabama (39:16); his thoughts on the amazing success of Nick Saban at Alabama, and why Saban didn’t have similar success in the NFL (42:28); him and Morten talking about their favorite Kenny Stabler stories (46:16); the story behind his famous fur coat (50:04); and why philanthropy is so important to him (52:45).Then, TommyFreezePops is joined by Kevin Rogers for his weekly check-in with the experts from VegasInsider.com (57:05 – 01:05:49). Are the 2020 Jets going to be the next team in NFL history to go 0-16? Kevin tells us why he doesn’t think so (58:18). Plus, the guys take a look at the powerhouse Seahawks heading to Buffalo to take on the 6-2 Bills (59:36), Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens looking for a bounce back against a strong Colts defense in Indianapolis (01:00:53), and the Steelers looking to remain undefeated as they had to Dallas to take on the beat-up Cowboys (01:02:58).Finally, we close things out with Morten’s “Game Winner” – a weekly segment where Morten monologues his biggest takeaway of the week. This week, he writes a letter to his friend Broadway Joe, reflecting on his incredible career and legacy (01:05:49).

Los exitosos no se adueñan del éxito La gente de éxito sabe que la victoria no les pertenece, ellos reconocen el valor de su equipo, saben que las cosas grandes no se construyen en solitario. “Son tres las cosas que le diría a un equipo para ayudarlo a mantenerse unido: Cuando algo resulta mal: yo lo hice. Cuando algo resulta más o menos bien: nosotros lo hicimos. Cuando algo resulta realmente bien: ustedes lo hicieron”, Paul “Bear” Bryant. Están atentos de la gente que les rodea, buscan a los mejores, no desperdician su tiempo, para ellos mejorar también implica mejores relaciones. Comprenden que atraemos lo que somos, no lo que queremos por eso, se desafían a si mismos nunca a los demás, no exigen, se exigen. Así cada vez atraen mejores personas a su equipo. “Las fortalezas están en nuestras diferencias, no en nuestras similitudes”, Stephen Covey. Los éxitosos lo saben… el primer equipo siempre es la familia. Se ocupan de educar, involucrar y darle un lugar importante a su familia. “Si estamos juntos no hay nada imposible. Si estamos divididos todo fallará", Winston Churchill. 5 reglas de una familia exitosa: Saben pedir perdón y perdonan Todos coperamos Tienen reglas y normas Todos conocemos nuestra importancia Tienen metas en común El éxito llega por ti, pero se queda por toda la familia.

Introduction  Hey everyone, welcome to the second episode of Major – Stories of NCAA Scandals. In this show we will be covering the most gripping, gruesome, and groundbreaking scandals in the history of the NCAA. My name is Chris Brown and I’ll be your host, guiding you through every twist and turn these stories have to offer.  For the last nine years, I’ve worked in NCAA Rules and Regulations, including four years on the NCAA staff.  If you are anything like me, you love a good sports scandal. I started Major, as a way of exploring both well-known and unknown NCAA scandals. But enough about me, let’s start the show.Today we’ll be covering a rarely used NCAA penalty, a penalty so scary, it earned the name “Death Penalty.”A Shaky Death Penalty It’s January 1951, Junius Kellog is a star on the Manhattan College basketball team. At six foot eight, Kellog is hard to miss by anyone. One winter day, he catches the attention of former Manhattan College basketball player Hank Poppe.  Poppe approaches Kellog with a proposition. If Kellog fixes the game against DePaul, he will receive $1,000 dollars. For Kellog, this is no insignificant amount of money. Remember, this is 1951, $1,000 dollars then is closer to 10,000 dollars today. Kellog comes from a poor family in Virginia and even with his scholarship is working at a local custard shop to make ends meet. Now he has the chance to significantly improve his financial outlook and all he has to do is engage in a little point shaving.  Now before we continue, it’s important that we discuss point shaving. Let’s take a moment for a quick sports gambling lesson.  Quick Gambling Lesson So let’s keep things very simple. When it comes to gambling, sports like basketball are bet on based on the margin of victory or loss also known as a point spread.  For example, let’s take two schools, School A and School B. School A is favored to win at minus ten points. While school B is the underdog at plus ten points. If you were to bet on School A, then in order to win money, School A must win by more than ten points.  If you were to bet of School B, then in order to win money, School B would have to lose by less than 10 points.  Traditionally, point shaving occurs when School A purposefully works to ensure they win but win by less than 10 points. This allow match fixers to bet on the underdog and be guaranteed that they will win.  Point shaving is difficult to track in that the team still wins the game and it is difficult to determine if the match is fixed or if a player or players are having a bad game. Thus it is the perfect set up for match fixers.                                                  Now Back to the Story A man of high integrity, Kellog immediately notified his Coach Ken Norton. Norton in turn, notified Manhattan College’s President Brother Boneventure Thomas who would immediately contact the police. For those of you who listened to last week’s episode, this is how the flow of information is supposed to work.  The police and Manhattan District Attorney Frank Hogan instructed Kellog to pretend that he was going along with the scheme. During a second meeting between Kellog and Poppe.  Kellog was instructed that make sure that Manhattan won by less than ten points.  According to Rosen’, Scandals of '51, Hank Poppe would tell Kellog: It's easy! You can miss a rebound once in a while. After you get a rebound don't look to pass it down court. Hang on to it and give the defense a chance to set up. Then you can try shooting your hook shot a little hard. And don't try to block the other guy's shot. Throw the ball away when you get the chance. Just remember that Manhattan doesn't actually have to lose the game. All you have to do is control the margin of victory. It's easy Junie. Everybody's doing it everywhere all over the country. The pros too. But whatever you do, Junie, don't stink up the joint. Make it look like you're trying. Kellog did just that, with the team winning 62-59.  With enough evidence, Poppe was arrested and immediately turned in coconspirator Jack Byrnes. The duo would implicate thirty-three players over the course of 80 games involving at least seven schools.  Now we will have an entire two-part episode dedicated to the point shaving scandal and its impact on college basketball but for today, we were going to head down to Lexington, Kentucky. Home of the University of Kentucky Wildcats. In 1951, there was no bigger team in college basketball than the University of Kentucky Wildcats. The team was coached by Adolph Rupp, at the time, arguably the most influential coach in all of basketball. The team was coming off of National Championship wins in 1948, 1949 and 1951.  Not to mention that the Kentucky starting five were all members of the gold medal winning 1948 US Olympic basketball team. The Kentucky teams were juggernauts and Coach Rupp knew it. When news of a point shaving scandal began rocking college basketball programs across the country, Rupp was quoted as saying: “They couldn’t touch my boys with a 10-foot pole.” These are words Rupp would soon come to regret.  On October 20, 1951, former University of Kentucky players Dale Barnstable, Ralph Beard, Alex Groza and Bill Spivey were all arrested for receiving bribes in exchange for point shaving during their 1949 National Invitation Tournament game against Loyola University Chicago. At the time of arrest, Barnstable, Beard and Groz, were no longer students at the university. Spivey on the other hand, was still a star player for the Wildcats.  While initially, all players would deny any involvement in point shaving, mounting evidence and convictions across the nation, would make denial harder. Barnstable, Beard and Groza would all confess to receiving $500 in return for point shaving during the game against Loyola University Chicago.  Spivey would maintain his innocence long after his former teammates admissions. If point shaving wasn’t bad enough, in the midst of investigating the point shaving case, it was uncovered that it was common for players to receive cash gifts following wins in big games. Thus, this legal issue, quickly became an NCAA issue.  FlashbackNow, it is important to remember why the NCAA was founded. Mounting health and safety concerns related to college football had necessitated presidential intervention. Theodore Roosevelt on two separate occasions convened meetings with collegiate leaders. The meeting ended with an ultimatum, regulate college football or it will no longer be played in the United States.  Officials heeded the Presidents warning and in 1906, the NCAA was founded. The organization quickly grew in responsibility by conducting championships, but the NCAA had no rules enforcement mechanism.  In fact, most schools at the time were doubtful about the organizations ability to self-govern. This self-governing ability had been tested just a one year prior to the point shaving scandal.  In 1948, NCAA schools voted to implement the “Sanity Code.” The Sanity Code limited athletes to receiving scholarships and job opportunities based only on a demonstrated financial need. However, when a survey was sent out in 1949 to gauge whether or not schools were adhering to this code, seven schools self-reported that they were indeed violating the agreed upon code.  A school found in violation of NCAA rules could be punished in only one-way, complete loss of membership, a punishment, that member schools had been hesitant to ever use. Ultimately in 1950 the Sanity Code was repealed and the schools in question weren’t even punished.  Therefore, when the it emerged that the University of Kentucky had won games with ineligible players, few believed the NCAA would or even could take action against the school. However, the NCAA’s newly hired 29-year-old executive director had other ideas.  Walter Byers, a man who would forever shape the landscape of college athletics, viewed the University of Kentucky case as a test of the NCAA’s legitimacy. To address the issue, Byers would establish a subcommittee to investigate infractions and secretly partner with the Southeastern Conference to ensure the right outcome.  Repercussions - The TeamPrior to NCAA penalties, the University of Kentucky would first have to deal with the Southeastern Conference. After an investigation into the point shaving scandal, the SEC voted to bar Kentucky from participating in SEC basketball for one year.Much to the surprise of many, University of Kentucky President Herman Lee Donovan did not fight the penalties. Believing they had received their final penalty; Kentucky began planning a non-conference schedule for the year. In fact, the school had made a national schedule featuring sixteen different schools.This immediately changed when in November of 1952, Walter Byers informed the University that they would be on probation and barred from playing against any other NCAA institution. To reinforce this penalty, Byers sent a letter to every member of the NCAA reminding them of a constitutional provision that required NCAA members to only play against teams that followed NCAA rules.Kentucky would once again not fight the penalty. Later, Byers would concede that had Kentucky challenged the penalty, they most likely would have prevailed given a lack of true enforcement authority at the time. In his book Unsportsmanlike Conduct, Byers would state: Had they (UK) fought us on the technical, legal grounds so many university-hired lawyers used in later years, Kentucky probably would have carried the day at the convention in January 1953. Instead, their decision to accept the penalty erased the haunting failure of the Sanity Code. It gave a new and needed legitimacy to the NCAA's fledgling effort to police big-time college sports." Additionally, the suspension of athletics participation as a penalty would later be codified in NCAA legislation as the repeat violator provision. In the 1980s, media would label this punishment, the death penalty.  Repercussions – The PlayersNow the players received pretty substantial penalties. Barnstable, Beard and Groza would receive suspended sentences.In addition to suspended sentences, Judge Streit placed the trio on an indefinite probation and barred them from all sports for three years…..I didn’t even know a judge could do that.  Now formerly on pace to be NBA stars, Barnstable, Beard and Groza were banned from ever playing in the NBA by Commissioner Maurice Podoloff. Arguably, Bill Spivey would pay the steepest penalty. Spivey maintained his innocence throughout the entirety of the process. The University of Kentucky would preemptively disassociate from Spivey.  The former All-American had been deserted by his school. To make matters worse, while there was not enough evidence to convict Spivey on bribery charges, discrepancies in testimonies resulted in perjury charges. Although Spivey was not convicted, the damage was done. NBA Commissioner Podoloff banned Spivey from ever playing in the NBA. Spivey would later sue the NBA and receive a $10,000 settlement but would spend the majority of his career, travelling around the country playing for smaller league teams until retiring in 1968. Repercussions - The CoachNow throughout the entirety of the investigation, Coach Rupp maintained he had no knowledge of point shaving within his program. Oddly enough t, the Loyola game which was the focal point of the investigation, was one that Coach Rupp could not forget. Following his team’s 67-56 loss to Loyola, Coach Rupp was distraught. While drink whiskey, he would tell athletics director Bernie Shively: I don't know...Lordy. But I think there's something wrong with this team. Historians agree that while Rupp was not involved directly in point shaving, his relationship with local bookies and casual discussions with players regarding gambling was problematic. On one occasion, the team was scolded for not scoring enough points in a game. Rupp would comment that the team cost his friend money. The impact of the culture of Kentucky was reinforced during the sentencing of Rupp’s former players. While Rupp was not charged, Judge Streit, would use player sentencing as an opportunity to express his thoughts on college athletics, particularly at the University of Kentucky. In his opinion, Judge Steit wrote: "I found that intercollegiate basketball and football at Kentucky have become highly systematized, professionalized and commercialized enterprises. I found covert subsidization of players, ruthless exploitation of athletes, cribbing at examinations, 'illegal' recruiting, a reckless disregard of their physical welfare, matriculation of unqualified students and demoralization of the athletes by the coach.”Now, as you can imagine, University of Kentucky President Donovan was quite upset following the embarrassment brought to the university on the part of its basketball program.  However, President Donovan’s support for Coach Rupp, never wavered. In a letter to Rupp, Donovan wrote:  My Dear Coach Rupp, I want you to know that I shall not desert you in your hour of need. This is a good time for you to find out who are your real friends and who are your fair weather friends. In Kentucky, the "Baron of the Blue Grass" was more powerful than Judge Streit.  In fact, President Donovan was so disturbed by the comments made by Judge Streit, that he sought to gain potentially compromising information about the Judge. After reaching out to other University Presidents seeking this information, President Donovan was advised to back down and to move forward. Advice that he ultimately took.  While officials at the university and the SEC acknowledge that a resignation on the part of Coach Rupp would have lessened the penalty, Coach Rupp’s ability as a coach out shadowed any desire by the university to move on to a new coach.  Additionally, Coach Rupp would hold a grudge with Walter Byers saying: "I'll not retire until the man who said Kentucky can't play in the NCAA hands me the national championship trophy."  A promise that he would later fulfill, when the Wildcats won the 1958 NCAA Championships.  This scandal would have a ripple effect for one other member of the SEC, the University of Alabama….Now at the time of the scandal, the University of Kentucky’s football program was led by a young Paul “Bear” Bryant. As the scandal unfolded, Bryant expected and many say was that Rupp to resign or be fired, making an opportunity for football to become the marquee sport at the University.  Bear Bryant would be quoted in Sports Illustrated as saying: "If Rupp had retired as basketball coach when they said he was going to I'd probably still be at Kentucky. The trouble was we were too much alike, and he wanted basketball No. 1 and I wanted football No. 1. In an environment like that one or the other has to go." Bryant resigned and took his talents to College Station before finding his way to Tuscaloosa Alabama as head coach of the University of Alabama. As the head coach of the Rolling Tide, Bryant would win six national championships and make houndstooth fashionable.  As a sports fan, you can’t help but wonder, what would have happened had Bryant stayed in Lexington…Closing ThoughtsIt has been almost 69 years since this scandal occurred. It would be great to say that since this scandal, college athletics has become less commercialized. But that just isn’t the case. Both college basketball and football are far more commercialized and professionalized than in the 1950s. To make matters worse, on September 27, 2017, the FBI and the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York announced the arrest of 10 individuals on suspicion of fraud, bribery and money laundering in a college basketball recruiting scheme.  But, you know what they say: those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.  ConclusionWe here at Major – Stories of NCAA Scandals hope you enjoyed our second episode covering the world of NCAA scandals. If you want to keep it going, give us a follow on our social media at brown_athletics on twitter or @major podcast on Instagram. Thank you everyone for tuning in, again I’m your host Chris Brown wishing you a good day and life free of scandal!                 Sources http://www.bigbluehistory.net/bb/Statistics/1952-53.html http://www.espn.com/classic/biography/s/Bryant_Bear.html  Figone, A., & Figone, A.

I’m your host, Keith Weinhold. There are seasons in your investor life where you either play offense or defense. What should you be doing now? … as we refresh the “Up To 5 Ways That Real Estate Simultaneously Pays You.”   Anything less than a 20 to 25% rate of return in buy-and-hold real estate investing is disappointing. How can that be? Today, on Get Rich Education. ______________________   Welcome to GRE! From Asmara, (Air-UH-tree-UH) Eritrea to Ashtabula, OH and across 188 nations worldwide. I’m Keith Weinhold. This is Get Rich Education.   Thanks for being here, but you’re not here for me. You’re here for you.   In your investor life, are you playing offense? Or are you playing defense right now?   Or, in general, longer-term, are you a more offensively-oriented investor, which correlates with more risk-taking for higher returns.   Or are you more defensively-minded - where you’d rather have less risk and lower return?   Are your mindset and actions aligned toward offense or defense?   Well, I’ve got an answer for you here, and you’re going to have a really valuable takeaway.   Anything less than a 20 to 25% annual rate of return in real estate is really … actually … disappointing.    “What choo talkin’ ‘about, Willis?”   What I’m talking about … Will - is ...    Really, this all comes back to how - when you buy income property the right way - you are paid up to five ways simultaneously.   A stock typically only pays you one way, perhaps two.   I think that the easiest way for you to understand the five ways you’re paid - and even celebrate these five ways you’re paid - because … this ... is ... pretty compelling - is to use an example.   I’ve discussed this before. So if you’re a longtime listener, I’m going to put “The 5 Ways” through a new filter for you.   And if you’re a newer listener, say in the last year, this could completely change your investing thought paradigm for the rest of your entire life.    In fact, compound interest is lame and rarely, if ever builds real wealth in real life. I’ll tell ya what does here.    And yes, I know that this is abject heresy. It is replete blasphemy to criticize “compound interest” in the finance world.    I am surely guilty of committing financial profanity right there.   This is really fundamental stuff I’m about to share with you here - and yet the real paradox is that most real estate investors don’t even understand this.   This is pretty fun to do. We’re going to add up the five ways you’re paid and determine your total rate of return here.   Let’s say that you purchase a $100,000 property - $100K. And, no worries, if that’s too “small time for you”, this is all based on ratios, so it scales up to a $1M or $10M property.   (Ha!) And sometimes I wonder how much longer a $100K property will even be a feasible example as inflation makes $100K properties less common all the time.  But with your newly-bought $100K rental single-family home, you buy it with a tenant already residing there, where the monthly rent income exceeds the monthly expenses - that’s a big part of “buying right”.    With your 20% down payment, you have $20K out of pocket then, and an $80K loan.   The first of five ways you’re often paid is ...  1 - Appreciation Let’s just say that your property appreciates from $100,000 to $106,000. That is just commensurate with real estate’s historic appreciation rate of 6%. But here’s the big “a-ha” moment.    Your $6,000 gain is based on only your $20,000 down payment.  Well, that’s your ROI formula - your gain divided by how much you have invested. Well, your $6K divided by $20K is a 30% return to you. Really? How did that happen exactly?   How do you have a 30% return from just this first of five ways you’re paid?    This is because you achieved a 6% return on both your $20K of skin-in-the-game and the $80K borrowed from the bank. This is what is known as financial leverage. Financial leverage means that your return is 30%.    No wonder that I’m known for saying that compound interest is lame and leverage builds real wealth. More on that soon.   2 - The second way you’re simultaneously paid is with Cash Flow It’s your monthly rent income minus all the expenses (like mortgage, vacancy, insurance, maintenance, taxes, utilities, management). We’ll be conservative and say that leaves you with only $100 of residual income in this case.   Annually, that’s $1,200 more for you, divided by your $20,000 down payment.    Yes, it’s $1,200 still divided by that same $20K of skin you have in the game.    This another 6% return for you. This portion is what is known as the Cash-On-Cash Return.    So, so far you’ve got a 30% return from leveraged appreciation PLUS a 6% cash-on-cash return from that monthly cash flow & we’re still going.   3 - Loan Paydown Unlike your own home where you pay down your principal mortgage balance with money that you had to earn, well, here, your tenant pays the monthly principal portion of your $80,000 loan on this property!    At a 6% interest rate (and you know you can do better than that today, but we’re being conservative here) on a 30-year mortgage, that’s about $1,000 that the tenant pays down your loan for you annually.    Divided by your (still the same) $20K of “skin-in-the-game” means that’s ANOTHER return for you of: 5%. This portion is known as your ROA - your return on amortization. We are still going - still adding up all the ways you're often paid in real estate.   4 - Tax Benefit You can have a mortgage interest deduction, an ability to pay zero capital gains tax with a 1031 Exchange, and tax depreciation - which can tax-shelter part of your rent income.    This is hard to measure. We’ll conservatively call your investment tailwind another 5%. There’s something else called “bonus depreciation” that can certainly make this 5% tax tailwind higher, but let’s just leave it there.   And the fifth and final way is what I call Inflation-Profiting. Few people understand this.    Like inflation erodes the value of your lump of savings, it also degrades your mortgage debt balance.    How is that? It’s because your $80,000 loan today gets easier to “pay back” as wages and prices escalate over time. Your bank only asks to be repaid in nominal dollars (while your tenant pays the interest), not real, inflation-adjusted dollars.    So just say that over a few years, you had 10% cumulative inflation. Well, then rather than paying back the bank $80K, you really only need to pay them back $72K in inflation-adjusted terms.   Inflation has been low lately. We’ll call this benefit a return of another … just 2% to you.   Well, there were all five ways. Let’s add them up to see what your total rate of return is. You got a return of:   30% from leveraged appreciation, then… 6% from cash flow - which is that portion known as your cash-on-cash return, plus another 5% from your ROA - that Return On Amortization, where you tenant pays down your loan for you. Then another … 5% from tax benefits … 2% from inflation-profiting ...   And your first year total Return On Investment from this income property is 48%   You just achieved a 48% return - and without taking any INORDINATE risk. Now, your real-life return probably won’t be exactly that - it’ll be higher or lower.   A few other caveats here. I think you probably realize this example is simplified.    If we had 18 spreadsheets, then we could probably get an exact number, like rather than a 48% total rate of return for you - then it might be 46.16% or something like that. …   … but eighteen spreadsheets doesn’t work in audio format as we’ve just broken it down here on Get Rich Education Episode 302.    1) Note that in the example, we did not factor in your buyer mortgage loan closing costs (the seller can often help you pay these).    Of course, risk still exists. If you buy property in a losing job market, or hire a disreputable property manager, for example, your return can erode.    3) You will still have SOME inevitable problems along the way. It just happens in real estate.   Also, note that your property insurance premium WAS considered in the example. That hedges you from a lot of major loss types.   And that your management cost was considered here, meaning your income is largely passive.    Also, be mindful that after your 48% return in Year One of this hypothetical example, your return typically DROPS in future years.    Maybe it’s down to 38% in the second year and 29% in the third year.    Why is this? Well, primarily due to the fact that equity accumulates in the property, and equity has zero rate of return.   Compound interest? Well, you’re typically not leveraging other people’s money with compound interest.    In the example we used - you’re not just growing from the return on your own money.   You achieved that return because you got to use BOTH your own money plus three other parties’ money at the same time:   the bank’s for the leverage   the tenants for the income and the return on amortization … and    … the govt’s for the tax incentives - plus, really the government’s policies for the inflation-profiting benefit too … if ya think about it.   With just a 20% down payment, you got access to getting the return on OTHER people’s money all over the place.    Another risk is to be mindful of overleveraging. Overleveraging means that you’ve borrowed so aggressively that, say you get in a situation where the tenants rent income no longer meets or exceeds the monthly property expenses.    That’s negative cash flow from overleveraging.   With these five ways ...   Now you understand how real estate makes ordinary people wealthy!   Now you know how to actually “keep score” with real estate investing.   Now you understand how less than a 20-25% Total Rate Of Return is disappointing.   This is LEVERAGE rather than compound interest.   Long-term, one’s hopes for compound interest get eroded and worn down to nothing after applying - something that longtime listeners can almost repeat after me - applying those deleterious effects of inflation and emotion and taxes and fees and volatility.    If you understand what I just described, you understand something that Billionaire RE investors do NOT understand.   Billionaire real estate investors don’t understand what you now know.   So, when it comes down to, are you playing offense or defense as the theme for your own investing strategy?    The answer is, when you’re paid five ways, you have the ability to constantly do BOTH - you’re playing both offense and defense - at the same time, all the time.   By the way, they say that offense wins games but defense wins championships. It was legendary Alabama football coach Paul “Bear” Bryant that’s credited with saying some version of that.    I don’t know whether that’s so true or not, but here you have multiple offenses and defenses.   But what I’m talking about here, is, with the 5 ways you’re paid:   Appreciation - That’s playing offense Cash Flow - That’s more predictable than appreciation, and that’s playing offense too Return On Amortization - That’s defense. It’s slow, predictable, and it builds illiquid equity The fourth way, taxes - that’s defense too. It’s kind of built-in, predictable, and really just recurs when you do your annual taxes. And the fifth way, inflation-profiting - That’s defense too.   So, there you go, with one single-family rental home or apartment building, you’ve played offense two ways and defense three ways … all at the same time.    And when you’re paid five ways, if one or two stop providing you with yield, well, then you’ve still got three or four ways that are.   But, yeah, these return sources aren’t apparent to a lot of people.    You know, I was recently doing a review of one of my larger apartment buildings with an experienced investor, because the cash flow basically dried up.   And, for example, this apartment building has $2,100 of tenant-made mortgage principal paydown every month. That’s $25K per year in equity buildup.   $25K divided by my $475K in equity is a Return On Amortization of about 5% on this particular apartment building.   So I think that the real takeaway here is - invest in something where you’re paid multiple ways, where you can invest in offense & defense at the same time, and it pays you income so that you can begin enjoying your life now, not “maybe someday” - which correlates with more of a compound interest approach.   If you think about it, a central theme of this show is how to optimize the 5 Ways You’re Paid - and avoid mistakes.   This is really a huge part of the compelling “why” for real estate that is so often missed.   You want to own the real property yourself to make sure all five of these benefits aren’t diluted.   You also want to be sure to have a good loan on your property to amplify your ROI over the long-term.   As you know, I am “pro-good debt”. I have no interest in paying down low interest rate debt, that the tenant pays down for me and inflation even further debases.   Instead of using that dollar to pay down debt, you could use that dollar as a down payment on another property - expanding your empire.   Gosh, with interest rates this low, it puts an exclamation point on the fact that you don’t want to be paying down your debt … here in the early 2020s decade.    Paying down good debt is one of the last things that I would do with my money. You lose leverage every time you do that.   Turning a liquid dollar into equity just transferred cash into equity.   Financial freedom achieved when you do the opposite - when you transfer equity into cash flow.   The probability that I’m going to wake up tomorrow and start accelerating paydown on low-rate, fixed mortgage debt tied to this cash-flowing property - is about nothing.   It’s about the same as the chance is that my Dad wakes up tomorrow and starts listening to the Notorious BIG with Junior MAFIA.   “I chill … “ to “ … you know”.   Haha! Yeah, not happening!   Not for my Dad, anyway. Not his style. Sounds alright to me. I might drop that in during a workout or something.   You’re listening to a more detailed discussion about the Five Ways That Real Estate Pays You and we’re talking about it through a fresh lens of “offense vs. defensive” investing here on Get Rich Education Episode 302. I strongly believe: It is very difficult to get wealthy without debt. Often won’t achieve freedom without debt. It’s going to be alright ... when your debt is reliably outsourced to others.   You know, at one point in my life, when I still worked for an employer. (The last day job I ever had was working in the QA section for a state DOT, by the way).   At one point, I realized that every dollar I lock in a stock or 401(k) is a dollar that I can’t use to leverage OPM. That epiphany was a real turning point.   Checking the RobinHood app every 15 minutes isn’t going to build real, durable wealth for you.   And, sometime before that, it was the realization that for me - and for you - to get more out of life, you can’t live below your means, you’ve got to expand your means.   To achieve financial freedom, it sure isn’t going to happen by cancelling Netflix $10 for month.   That’s not going to happen if you save $80 on air tickets by adding an extra layover on your trip itinerary. You just added three hours of low-quality time to your life - and you’ll never get that time back.   That’s cheesy. That’s unattractive.   It’s not about saving money on your Butterball turkeys or car gasoline.   I’m not saying you can NEVER do those things. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.   But people need to stop being congratulated for being cheap or even focusing on frugality. Gosh, that stuff can make people miserable.   People that say, “I want to live frugally.”, they don’t REALLY want to live frugally. They actually want to say, “I want to live well.”    But they don’t know how to do that. They don’t have a vehicle to move forward with.    It’s kind of like, when we had T. Harv Eker here on the show here a few years ago - it’s about setting your mental thermostat higher, so that you can get greater wealth & freedom for yourself …   And with the “five ways you’re paid” like I described earlier, hopefully, I’ve charted a substantially clearer path forward for you so that you can do that.   Well, with “The Up To 5 Way That Real Estate Often Pays You”, that’s something that I first started talking about more than five years ago. I’ve never heard anyone else talk about it before. So, as far as I know, I guess I’ve “coined this” or whatever.   But since I began talking about it, I hear other people talking about it too - even other educational platforms.   Now, I do own three real estate trademarks, so what do I think about OTHERS now teaching the “5 Ways You’re Paid”. I’ll discuss that in just a few minutes here.   I’m also going to discuss who influenced ME - and give them some credit. And this includes a couple people that you’ve surely never heard about before.   If you would like to see the “5 Ways You’re Paid” in one easy-to-read infographic - that all fits on one sheet - so that it’s REALLY cear to understand - I’ll send you a colorful electronic “5 Ways Infographic” all you’ve got to do is go to GetRichEducation.com/Book.   That’s got to be one of the greatest deals anywhere. That’s where you can opt-in to get the electronic version of my int’l bestselling book, free, emailed right to you.   Then a few weeks later, the “5 Ways You’re Paid Infographic” is automatically sent to you too.   That’s at GetRichEducation.com/Book   More next. I’m Keith Weinhold. This is Get Rich Education. ________________________   Welcome back to Get Rich Education. I’m Keith Weinhold.   Hope you like our humorous moments to lighten up the show here. Hey, you run a little math on audio and … it begs for some embellishment to spice things up.    When it comes to the up to five ways you’re paid in real estate investing. Yeah, since I first discussed this more than five years ago, I’ve noticed that other REI educators now teach the same thing.   I don’t know whether they credit that to me or not - and you know what - I don’t really care whether they do or not. I mean, it’s cool if they do, but …   … the more important thing to me is that conscientious people get the information. Share it. That is so much more important than anyone getting the credit.   So just … share it.   “Helping the people” is more important than “getting the credit”.    I think that the world would be a better place - imagine if everyone put “helping the people” before “getting the credit”.    I don’t own trademarks so that I can go after people that say the same stuff that I do. That’s just not in my nature. I’d rather do productive things with my time.   The trademarks are thre just because I wouldn’t want someone else to swoop in and tell me that I can’t use something that I might have come up with in the first place.   When it comes to “helping the people” and “getting the credit”, now, everyone has influences - things they learn from others. You & I are no different that way.    Even those that influence you were influenced by someone else before them.   Well, I DO like to give credit to those that I learned from, so ...    Though I know he’s a polarizing figure to some people, credit is due to Robert Kiyosaki and the Rich Dad Company. Learn more about them at RichDad.com   The most important lesson that I learned there is “Don’t live below means. Expand your means.”   It’s more important to increase your income than cut your expenses.    Don’t make a budget. You’re just tearing things down.    Instead, build a cash flow statement. Now you’re constructing. Now you’re making more of yourself, not less. These are really Rich Dad principles and helped develop my mindset.   Now, as for who helped turn this mindset into something actionable? I’ve got to give props to “The Real Estate Guys” - Robert Helms and Russell Gray. Learn more about them at RealEstateGuysRadio.com    That’s the first place that I learned, for example, that in real estate, the market is more important than the property.   Look, you can’t very well be in your crib with your trading app and just order up real estate - even though people are building online marketplaces.    But one mistake people make is that they buy property because the numbers look good based on some YT video they watched on how to crunch the numbers - but they know nothing about the market or the team.    Then they buy it. Then only after they go buy it, NEXT they go looking for a PM and hope there’s a good one that can handle it.    Then next, they try to figure out the market that they already bought in.   That does not work. They’ve got it backwards. If the market and your property manager check out, then & only then do you get the property in that market.   It’s sad when people get that wrong. That’s why people walk away from RE & they say that RE doesn’t work.   Well, no, that investor wasn’t very strategic. But you CAN understand how that happens to people.   And it was great to have both authors of the “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” book Robert Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter - and The Real Estate Guys all here on Get Rich Education with us multiple times.    Another set of influencers are two guys that you’ve never heard of before.    Their names are Chris and Raj. They are simply two longtime friends of mine that bought four-plex buildings.   That got me to make my first-ever property that seminal four-plex building where, with a 3.5% down payment I lived in one unit, rented out the other three, and that started it all for me.   These otherwise “regular guys” reinforce the quote from the late Jim Rohn, “You Are The Average Of The Five People That You Spend The Most Time With”.   Today, I’m a collector of real estate - most of it in the United States. Being the geography guy that I am, did you know that I have a world map on the wall of our garage …   … and I have a little red sticker - little red dots on top of those areas where I own property. Yeah, it makes this real estate collecting kind of visual. Maybe you want to try that too.     Well, one part of the world that I’ve been adding more red dots to lately is where I’ve been buying - across Florida.    Areas around Tampa, Orlando, and Jacksonville all make sense from a cash yield perspective.   A lot of BRAND NEW construction properties have numbers that work there, especially where our Orlando provider - that’s Greater Central Florida really - have been actively sourcing brand new construction property in Sebring, Florida, among other nearby places.    Sebring is pretty much smack dab in the center of peninsular Florida, south of Orlando.   These single-family homes that make great rentals have a metal roof, they’re 3 bed, 2 bath, and the prices really are remarkable - $179,900 and $159,900.    Yes, that’s for new construction in Sebring, Florida.   The rent-to-price ratios are a very attractive eight-tenths of one percent or so. Quite good for new construction, plus you’ve got the tailwind of extremely low interest rates as well.   And when it’s new construction, the PROPERTY INSURANCE premiums are so reasonable too.   If you’d like to learn more about those, you can do so at GetRichEducation.com/Orlando   It isn’t just single-family rental homes. New construction duplexes are available too.    That’s GetRichEducation.com/Orlando   You know that I often like to leave you with something actionable like this at the end of an episode.   And knowing and doing are two very different things.   How do we already know that? Well ...   Many people aren’t at their ideal body weight … and it isn’t because they don’t know what to do, they just aren’t doing it.   You also need time to figure out what you want to do. I like eating pizza, for example,  but it took me eating different foods in order to find that out. I had to try and do.   Learning is best done by trial-and-error but it doesn’t have to be YOUR trial-and-error.    Learn from me. I’ll even eat your pizza for you!   I help give you the information you need to make an informed decision.   I connect you with property teams with proven track records - many of whom I invest with myself.   You ultimately choose your investments.   There’s risk with anything … anything in life.    You either take the risk or lose the chance. I think it’s helpful too, that you follow someone that’s been through a recession.    I’ve been investing for … nearly 18 years … it’ll be 18 years next month … since I bought that landmark four-plex building.   Teach you how to fish or GIVE you a fish? Well, why not do both? You can get the fish at GetRichEducation.com/Orlando   Have you ever wondered where your money is? Well, the world already has your money. You just need to go out and claim it.   I’m Keith Weinhold - grateful, as always for your listenership. I look forward to chatting with you again next week.   Don’t Quit Your Daydream!

Our reading passages for today are Genesis 36 and 37, Job 3, Mark 7 and Romans 7. In Genesis we get to read a very long list of Esau's relatives, which isn't the most inspiring chapter in the Bible, but we also meet Joseph in Genesis 37, a man of God who will become one of the more inspiring characters in the Bible. Job 3 sees Job finally talking after a week of silence (and the scraping of his boils with broken pottery shards.), and he is as depressed and undone as we would expect him to be after Satan put him through the ringer. In Mark 7, Jesus is going to blister the scribes and pharisees for overvaluing and overemphasizing their silly (and legalistic!) human traditions, and undervaluing the actual commands and instructions of God. Romans 7, our final read of the day, Paul uses death in marriage to illustrate how those who have died with Christ are free from the Old Testament law. We don't have a focus passage today, but we will read Job 3 first, because we are continuing our discussion from yesterday's big question: Why do bad things happen to comparatively good people? And, FYI, its such a big discussion that it looks like it will spill over into tomorrow as well. Let me say this from the beginning, before we read Job. For literally thousands of years, people have sought to disprove the possibility of an all-mighty and all-loving God by pointing to the presence and reality of suffering, especially the kind of suffering that we would deem 'unfair.' A thorough reading of the Bible - even a surface reading, really - is enough to disabuse one of the notion that good people will not suffer. Today we meet Joseph - possessing the finest character among all his brothers, and yet he will probably suffer the most out of all of them and the vast majority of his suffering is extremely unfair. (Spurgeon said of Joseph, "Joseph was Jacob's best loved and most tried son. Whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth.") John the Baptist and Job also illustrate this issue, but there is an even more obvious illustration that the best in the Bible sometimes suffer the most. The central character and focus of the Bible is Jesus Christ, the son of God. The most unfair thing that ever happened in history was His torture, crucifixion, and death on the cross bearing our sins. The central message of the Bible demonstrates beyond question that bad things will happen to the best of people, and therefore nobody should be surprised when it happens to us. Good people suffering does not disprove biblical truth, it demonstrates and confirms biblical truth. If good people almost never suffered, then we might have reason to doubt the reliability of the Bible in some way or, at least, its relatability, because good people suffer all throughout the Bible. And, as we will see when we read Job 3, that suffering is not minimal or surface suffering, but deep and relatable agony. After this, Job began to speak and cursed the day he was born. 2 He said: 3 May the day I was born perish, and the night that said, “A boy is conceived.” 4 If only that day had turned to darkness! May God above not care about it, or light shine on it. 5 May darkness and gloom reclaim it, and a cloud settle over it. May what darkens the day terrify it. 6 If only darkness had taken that night away! May it not appear among the days of the year or be listed in the calendar. 7 Yes, may that night be barren; may no joyful shout be heard in it. 8 Let those who curse days condemn it, those who are ready to rouse Leviathan. 9 May its morning stars grow dark. May it wait for daylight but have none; may it not see the breaking of dawn. 10 For that night did not shut the doors of my mother's womb, and hide sorrow from my eyes. 11 Why was I not stillborn; why didn't I die as I came from the womb? 12 Why did the knees receive me, and why were there breasts for me to nurse? 13 Now I would certainly be lying down in peace; I would be asleep. Then I would be at rest Job 3:1-13 Just listening to that is hard, and even though Job lived thousands of years ago, I imagine that many of us can relate to what Job is going through. He sounds absolutely and utterly depressed and crushed and even suicidal. And why wouldn't he be? He's lost everything but his wife, and she keeps telling him to curse God and die.  5 Biblical Teachings on Suffering: Suffering is universal and unavoidable. Jesus promises it in John 16:33. Peter says don't be surprised when it comes, as if something odd was happening. 1 Peter 4:12-13 “12 Dear friends, don't be surprised when the fiery ordeal comes among you to test you as if something unusual were happening to you.13 Instead, rejoice as you share in the sufferings of the Messiah, so that you may also rejoice with great joy at the revelation of His glory.” Suffering, in many ways, is a good thing in the long run. . “ 10 My goal is to know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,” Phil 3:10 “24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and I am completing in my flesh what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for His body, that is, the church.” Col 1:24  Along those lines, consider this wisdom from Spurgeon: WE should never have such fellowship with Jesus as we do if we had not such troubles as we have. You cannot see the stars in the daytime, but they tell us that if you go down into a well you can. Sometimes God sinks wells of trouble and puts his servants into them, and then they see his starry promises. You might hunt in vain for glowworms by day, but they shall all be seen at night, and so shall the comfortable words and thoughts of Holy Scripture. The fire-flies shall flash best at night when the sunlight is gone, and so oftentimes the light of the promises is better seen in the night of trouble than in the day of outward prosperity. The black foils of trouble shall bring out the brighter jewel of divine grace. You cannot know Christ except by following in his footsteps. Poverty will reveal him who for our sakes became poor; sickness will show him whose visage was more marred than any man's; shame will teach you his shame, and suffering will reveal to you his suffering; and even death itself, which shall remove the foundations, shall give you conformity to his death that you may have part in his resurrection. 3. Suffering in a Christian can happen because of discipline.. “For the Lord disciplines the one He loves and punishes every son He receives. 7 Endure suffering as discipline: God is dealing with you as sons. For what son is there that a father does not discipline? 8 But if you are without discipline—which all receive—then you are illegitimate children and not sons.”Hebrews 12:6-8 4. Suffering in a Christian can also happen because of God's favor! “4 Therefore, we ourselves boast about you among God's churches—about your endurance and faith in all the persecutions and afflictions you endure. 5 It is a clear evidence of God's righteous judgment that you will be counted worthy of God's kingdom, for which you also are suffering, Thessalonians 1:4-5 5. Our suffering will pale in comparison to the glory that is to come. A. “ For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is going to be revealed to us.” Romans 8:18  C. H. Spurgeon, Flashes of Thought (London: Passmore & Alabaster, 1874), 472. We are going deeper tomorrow into this question tomorrow, but let me expound briefly on that last Romans passage. The Bible teaches that humans are eternal creatures, and that means that our 80 or so years of living on the Earth are a short, short time in light of eternity. That also means that the amount of time we are suffering in our existence will also be short compared to eternity. When viewed through the lens of eternity, the idea of a good God allowing suffering to happen is not so shocking, especially when that suffering can have good effects. I'm a football fan, specifically a University of Alabama fan. (And have been for 40+ years, suffering through the Dubose, Shula and Francione years, as well as the Price day) Paul 'Bear' Bryant was a legendary coach at Alabama, but before he was at Alabama, he was at Texas A&M university, a mediocre football team prior to Bryant's arrival. He purposed to toughen the men up, so in 1954, he took a big group of players to Junction, Texas and sought to forge them into men. Most who went to the camp quit before it was over, but the survivors became known as the 'Junction Boys,' and they would go on to eventually lead Texas A&M back into football relevance. The suffering in Junction did not lead to immediate success, but it did lead to long-term success, and most anybody that understands football understands that Coach Bryant wasn't being cruel to his players, but he was shaping their character and building them into a stronger football team. I am not at all here comparing God to a football coach, but am pointing out that most astute football people can understand the concept of difficult periods of practice leading to a stronger, better football team with greater character and perseverance. If we can understand that, then perhaps we can understand how God might use the suffering of our life for a similar, but much, much loftier goal.  3 And not only that, but we also rejoice in our afflictions, because we know that affliction produces endurance, 4 endurance produces proven character, and proven character produces hope. 5 This hope will not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. Romans 5:3-5

If we can understand that, then perhaps we can understand how God might use the suffering of our life for a similar, but much, much loftier goal.  3 And not only that, but we also rejoice in our afflictions, because we know that affliction produces endurance, 4 endurance produces proven character, and proven character produces hope. 5 This hope will not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. Romans 5:3-5

Talk about someone who has packed a long and varied career into a fairly short period of time!  Mary Scott Hunter has a bachelor's degree (1995), a law degree (1998) and a MBA (2017), all from the University of Alabama.  She didn’t stray far from her roots as her father, Scott Hunter, played quarterback for the Crimson Tide under the legendary coach Paul “Bear” Bryant before embarking on an NFL career.  Mary Scott began her career as a lawyer in 1998 as an active-duty Air Force Judge Advocate officer and, while in the service, met her husband, Jon Shultz, who served as an Air Force fighter pilot. Mary Scott now works at Intuitive Research and Technology mixing her legal and business skills in the areas of governance, compliance, ethics, and risk.  She jokes that she serves as "in house" counsel for her entrepreneur husband's company, Resolution LLC, one of Huntsville's many fast-growing small businesses.  Along the way, Mary Scott was also elected to and served two terms (2011 - 2019)  on the Alabama State Board of Education, and we have a little fun on this show debating politics.  In her “free time,” Mary Scott co-hosts a podcast called Belle Curve.  I enjoyed getting to know her on this episode.

As we start the 2019 college football season, Sports Dictators takes a look back at one of the biggest “what ifs” in the game. What if legendary coach Paul “Bear” Bryant never left his gig as head coach at the University of Kentucky for Texas A&M in 1954? What drove the decision and what could—theoretically—be different about UK sports if it had the same football pedigree as Alabama. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/sports-dictators/support

This week, we take our all-american theme park to the home of the Crimson Tide and completely unsurprisingly both hosts use college football as jumping off points. Scottye takes his guests into a virtual reality stadium to be thrown around by the Roll Tide Rollercoaster starring Nick Saban and Paul Bear Bryant (of course). Meanwhile, Jim pitches a crossover with NASA as he welcomes everyone to Puntsville, USA, where the Rocket City has been tasked at helping Bama Football set its sights on conquering every football team in the universe. Also, kids can join in on the fun by taking part in daily Kick, Pass, & Moonwalk competitions presented by various coaches and scientists. We also discuss theme park security after Jim saw himself a giant dinosaur in the Magic Kingdom.

Today's quote comes from the legendary head football coach at the University of Alabama, Paul "Bear" Bryant - “It’s not the will to win that matters – everyone has that. It’s the will to prepare to win that matters.” Outwork everyone and victory will follow. Now, let's get out there and #bebettertoday!

Paul “Bear” Bryant is a coaching legend. There's not much question about that. He won 6 National Championships as the Head Football Coach at the University of Alabama. The image of his houndstooth hat is unmistakeable. But we're football coaches, and we're not just interested in the story of a coach who won a lot of football games (323 games, to be exact). We want to know how. And why. In this episode of The Football Coaching Podcast, we'll take a look at the early year of Paul “Bear” Bryant's coaching career. How did he come to be the legend at Alabama? Starting with his upbringing in Arkansas, to his playing days at Alabama, we'll look at the rise of one of the most legendary figures in our profession. On to his time in the Navy during World War II, and his first head coaching job that followed, at the University of Maryland. Then on to Kentucky, and of course, to Texas A&M. The site of the famous Junction Boys. Don't get too excited, I plan to leave the Junction Boys story for another time. When this went on the Twitter Poll @footballinfo, I had every intention of covering Coach Bryant's entire career. But after doing my research, well… there's just no way. Instead, it's time to lay the foundation on one of the greatest coaching legends of all time! I'll share my thoughts, my own personal (though pretty thin) connection to Bear Bryant, and a few interesting stories on Episode 210 of The Football Coaching Podcast!

Howard Schnellenberger has been part of four collegiate national championships. His 1983 Miami Hurricanes won that school's first title, defeating Nebraska in the 50th Anniversary Orange Bowl. He was offensive coordinator for Paul “Bear” Bryant at Alabama, when the Crimson tide won championships in 1961, 1964 and 1965. He is one of only 10 active collegiate head coaches who have won a national title. In addition, Schnellenberger has also been part of seven NFL playoff teams and was part of two Super Bowl championship staffs. He helped the 1972 Miami Dolphins to the NFL's only undefeated (17-0) season. Schnellenberger has recruited and/or coached several current and former pros such as quarterbacks Jim Kelly, Bernie Kosar, Vinny Testaverde, Browning Nagle, and Jeff Brohm, and stars such as Michael Irvin, Brian and Bennie Blades, offensive tackles Bruce Armstrong and Jerry Crafts; fullback Carwell Gardner; wide receiver Earnest Givins; defensive end Joe Johnson, a first-round draft pick for the New Orleans Saints; defensive tackle Ted Washington; cornerback Ray Buchanan; defensive tackle Mike Flores.

THE "RIGHT HAND MAN" OF BEAR BRYANT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA THE "RIGHT HAND MAN" OF DON SHULA DURING THE 1972 MIAMI DOLPHINS PERFECT SEASON  Coach Howard Schnellenberger, Passing the Torch: Building Winning Football Programs...with a Dose of Swagger Along the Way. CAREER HIGHLIGHTS One of the most colorful and successful football coaches of the last half century is ready to tell his story for the first time. Howard Schnellenberger learned his trade from two of the all-time greats, Paul "Bear" Bryant and Don Shula, winning championships with each mentor. Schnellenberger then took the football torch that was passed to him and became a trans formative head coach at three universities. All three have now nominated him for the College Football Hall of Fame. For all of his personal triumphs, there have also been instances of crashing and burning. He was fired as head coach of the Baltimore Colts after a sideline showdown with the owner of the team. He walked away from the University of Miami to try to make his fortune in the ill-fated USFL. A move to the University of Oklahoma ended in humiliation. The coach talks about the wise decisions and the poor decisions he has made, and he shares the lessons he learned along the way. Schnellenberger's career has brought him into combat alongside or across the field from many of the greats. His high school teammate was the future Heisman Trophy winner and Green Bay Packer star Paul Hornung. Schnellenberger was an All-American player at Kentucky in 1952 at a time when players played both offense and defense. He later recruited or coached a stunning array of quarterbacks, including Joe Namath, Kenny Stabler, Jim Kelly, Bernie Kosar, Vinny Testaverde, Bert Jones, Roman Gabriel, Bob Griese and Earl Morrall. Schnellengerber served as offensive coordinator while helping Alabama and Bryant claim national championships in 1961, 1964 and 1965. His early career also included serving as offensive coordinator for Don Shula and the Miami Dolphins in 1972 during the only perfect season in NFL history. Schnellenberger took over a University of Miami program that was contemplating dropping the sport in 1979 and instead led them to 46 wins in 5 years and a national championship in 1983. He established a swagger at the U and set the school on a path to five national championships in two decades. He dabbled with Donald Trump at the upstart United States Football League that sued the NFL for antitrust violations. In 1985 he returned to his hometown and took over another struggling program at the University of Louisville. After three losing seasons, he built them into a football power. His time there was capped by a 10-1-1 record in 1990 that included a Fiesta Bowl victory over Alabama. He retired from coaching in 1995, having been part of four college national championships. Coach Schnellenbeger managed an encore performance, though, that is a crowning achievement. He came out of retirement in 1998 at age 64 to start a football program at Florida Atlantic University. His team became the youngest program ever to receive a bowl invitation. He won that game and was awarded the Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Year award. The next year his Owls won another bowl game, making the coach 6-0 and the winning-est undefeated coach in bowl history. Coach Schnellenberger retired again after the 2011 season, but not before building a 40,000 seat on-campus football stadium. A statue of the coach stands guard at the FAU stadium. In Louisville, a 60,000-seat stadium is part of the Howard L. Schnellenberger Football Complex that he fought to have built in that city. Schnellenberger saved football at two proud universities. He launched football at a third. He has sent more than 60 college stars on to professional football careers. His stories about those players and the secrets to his remarkable success are the subject of this memoir.

Legendary coach Paul “Bear” Bryant said, "It's not the will to win that matters - everyone has that. It's the will to prepare to win that matters.”  Great success is not a mere accident. Smart preparation is what tends to set incredible achievers apart from the rest of the pack. Having the audacity to create an intelligent plan can stack so many conditions in your favor that seems impossible to fail. The trouble is, creating a plan and finding the right blueprint can be an arduous task if you haven’t been there before. If you haven’t seen what’s on the other side of the goal you’re chasing after, then mapping out the right steps to get there might be tricky. This is where a cornerman like Dr. Jeff Spencer steps in. Dr. Spencer has had the opportunity to work along side and coach many of the greatest performers of our time. Olympic Champions and cultural icons alike, they have sought out his expertise to help them breakthrough and get to the next level. It may have been breaking out of a slump, or it may have been creating a calculated plan of action. Regardless of what was needed, it’s well known on the champion’s playground that Dr. Jeff Spencer is the man to call. I’m honored to share be able to share Dr. Spencer’s wisdom with you today. You are going to learn, without a doubt, that there is a specific blueprint (a Champion’s Blueprint!) that will help you to achieve all of your goals and reach your fullest potential.  Benjamin Franklin stated simply that, “If you fail to prepare, then you are preparing to fail.” This is why what you’re about to learn today is so valuable. So, tune in, take good notes, and take full advantage! In this episode you'll discover: How Dr. Spencer came from extremely challenging conditions to being one of the most sought after coaches in the world. How Dr. Spencer discovered a formula that anyone could use to replicate success. Why some people do great in some areas of their life, but struggle in others. What 8 specific steps that every prolific performer goes through to achieve at their highest level. Why The Champion’s Blueprint begins with legacy. The critical keys people often miss when creating a vision of their ideal life. What an emotive force is and how it relates to goal achievement. Why simply having a positive mindset can be misleading. How preparation can make our biggest challenges seem easy. Why taking a smart inventory will help you to achieve your goals faster. The difference between Human Nature and Champion Nature. What happens when your greatest moments become your new normal. Why your growth and improvement can create negative kickback from your family and friends. Items mentioned in this episode include: * Onnit.com/Model
