Paul Finebaum compares Kentucky coach Will Stein to Bear Bryant

SEC Nation analyst Paul Finebaum drew a comparison between Kentucky head coach Will Stein and Bear Bryant ahead of Kentucky's game against Alabama today. The broadcast crew made the remarks at Kroger Field in Lexington as the Wildcats prepare to host the Crimson Tide for a 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff. This match marks the first conference game for Stein, who is in his first season leading the program. Kentucky opened its schedule with a 45-13 victory over Youngstown State last week. Bryant previously served as the Kentucky head coach from 1946 to 1953, compiling a 60-23-5 record and leading the team to three bowl game victories. Finebaum's comments were made on-air alongside Tim Tebow prior to the start of today's contest.
