If a man played football on Bear Bryant's team and said that his best skill as a player was that he was "coachable", what would that mean? I have a feeling this is a man personality clue but I don't know how to interpret it.
Able to hear input/corrections without coming up with 15 different reasons why it doesn't apply to you. Of course it must start with an attitude that you don't already "know it all" or that you are perfect already with no need to ever considering personal changes or growth. Being coachable means being teachable - but that teaching usually has to come from someone highly respected.
Sportswise - it means that he played for a football legend and attended either the University of Alabama or Texas A & M. Bryant was one of the most "winningnest" coaches ever in college football. He was famous for his trademark black & white houndstooth hat and his ability to garner massive amounts of loyalty and efforts from the young men who played for him. For some folks in Alabama he's something of a demi-god.
