Jim Carlen, who followed [Gene] Corum at WVU in 1966, was a young defensive assistant on Bobby Dodd’s Georgia Tech staff in the early 1960s. He once found himself in a room with Dodd and Alabama coach Bear Bryant when the two coaching legends were talking about the passing game.
"They would talk about throwing like it was a disease," Carlen said.
