It turns out, our beloved coach, Chan Gailey, hails from the Bear Bryant tree
Bear Bryant hired Gailey as a water boy in 1969, and Gailey took off from there
He shadowed Bryant wherever he went, and on more than one occasion even visited his house
Gailey also became good friends with Barry Switzer, great coach to come from the Bryant tree as well
As time went on, Gailey worked himself up to assistant QB coach. However, poor Bryant decided to leave Alabama, and told Gailey this:
"Son, wherever you go, make sure you leave a legacy. Make sure they remember you!"
Gailey took this advice everywhere he went, and eventually took over for Switzer at Dallas
So, before you go bashing Thomas, please remember his coaching pedigree
This man has been places, known people, and he does know his football
