A Bama fans dream - detailed and untold stories of the Bear
19. Oktober 2000
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
As far as turnarounds are concerned, Alabama Crimson Tide fans have seen their fair share. Last season, they witnessed the Tide as they dropped miserably to 1-1 after a September loss to underdog Louisiana Tech. By New Year's Day, the Tide, now 10-2, had won the SEC championship, was ranked in the top five nationally and was preparing to face Michigan in the Orange Bowl. This season, the Tide fell to 1-3 before defeating the South Carolina Gamecocks at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Tide fans are hoping for a successful turnaround in 2000 similar to last season's about-face. Many Alabama fans, however, are in the dark about the great turnaround of 1958. That was the season Paul "Bear" Bryant took over at the helm of Alabama football, rejuvenating and breathing new life into not a single season, but an entire program. Tom Stoddard, a 1960 graduate of the University of Alabama, gives a detailed and straightforward account of Bryant's first season as head football coach at the Capstone in his book, Turnaround. In the three seasons prior to the magical 1958 season, the Crimson Tide had managed only four victories. Intense efforts by Alabama boosters and administration to put an end to the demise of a once proud and highly successful football program led to the resignation of then head coach J.B. "Ears" Whitworth. Enter the self-proclaimed "momma's boy" from Arkansas, "Bear" Bryant. With vivid and highly descriptive recollections from Bryant's former players, coaches and acquaintances, Turnaround depicts in behind-the-scenes fashion how Bryant took a group of young men who had become all too familiar with defeat and turned them into winners, and three seasons later, national champions. Any Crimson Tide football fan would fall in love immediately with this book. I certainly did.

"Stoddard Nailed It"
26. Januar 2003
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I have most likely read almost every book that has been written about the legendery college football coach. With the possible exception of "Bear", (which was an autobiography written by John Underwood) this is the best book ever written on Paul "Bear" Bryant. It was meticulously researched and led the reader on a journey throughout the year of 1958 (Bryant's first year at Alabama) which laid the foundation for a football dynasty during the 1960s and 1970s. While books like "The Junction Boys" might be more entertaining (but not always factual), "Turnaround" does not suffer the numerous embellishment problems that "Junction" did. Tom Stoddard deserves a great deal of recognition for this work. It is a must for the serious student of Bryant.

Turnaround Season: What Could Have Been
14. Dezember 2001
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
The book provides some remarkable insight into Coach Bryant's methods and thoughts. I heard stories that I have never heard and I consider myself a big fan. The problem was the boring play by play of the games and the constant roster updates. If you are a Bama fan buy it. If not it would be of little interest.
