Liberty
Liberty pays tribute to the final game and final victory ride of the legendary Coach Paul W. Bryant. The setting was the historic Liberty Bowl football classic played in Memphis on December 29, 1982. When Coach Bryant announced that this game would be his last as head football coach for The University of Alabama, a commemorative painting by Daniel Moore was conceived. The word "LIBERTY" at the top of the painting represents the Liberty Bowl, which served as the backdrop on which the post-game drama unfolded; the "number one" gesture of the player's hand is symbolic of the greatest coach in the history of major collegiate football; the players in the composition represent Bryant's teams throughout the years whose hard work and dedication "carried" him to the pinnacle of his success; the numbers "21" and "15" on the players' helmets represent the winning score against Illinois; the helmets numbered "58", "82" and "83" represent Bryant's first year as head coach at Alabama, 1982 his retirement and 1983, his death, respectively.
