His legacy belies that: 39 former Bryant players and assistants have become head coaches in college or the pros, among them the Houston Oilers' Bum Phillips, Maryland's Jerry Claiborne and the Washington Redskins' Jack Pardee. A total of 47 players have gone on to the pros, including such stars as Lee Roy Jordan, Joe Namath and Ken Stabler...
