According to documents obtained by an FOI request, Alabama's legendary head coach was tracked by the FBI from 1969-1971 following allegations of discrimination against black athletes. The inquiry followed a lawsuit against Coach Bryant and the university filed by noted civil rights attorney U.W. Clemon on behalf of a black student organization. The agency compiled a 27-page dossier on Coach Bryant before the dismissal of the lawsuit in 1971.
