Reliving the Tradition with Bob Baumhower

[pmull]

Bob Baumhower played defensive tackle for Alabama from 1973-76 under head coach Paul “Bear” Bryant. Despite his lack of recruitment coming out of high school, Baumhower would go on to become a two-time second team All-American during his junior and senior seasons, helping Alabama go a combined 31-4 in his three years playing time. Baumhower was drafted 40th overall in the 1977 NFL Draft by the Miami Dolphins, where he played until retirement in 1986. Baumhower now owns a chain of restaurants in Alabama called Baumhower’s Wings.

BB: Coach Bryant used to always tell us we were special. He could make you feel like you were special. He had this very unique ability to motivate you to be the best you can be. When you combine all that together, that’s just a great, great formula for success. That just creates a winning attitude, and the last thing we wanted to do was let him down. We all wanted that pat on the back.

I remember watching those guys play and that were good. Our RBs could run wide open by time they hit the line. We had 2 of the greatest tackles to ever play the game. Bob and (aww shoot) the one that played for the Patriots. They were the best. RTR!

John Hannah played offensive guard at Alabama and the Patriots. Baumhower played defensive line.
