There's a lot of blood, sweat, and guts between dreams and success.
Bear Bryant
Image
You're still going to win with preparation and dedication and plain old desire. If you don't have genuine desire, you won't be dedicated enough to prepare properly.
Bear Bryant
Image
I always want my players to show class, knock'em down, pat on the back, and run back to the huddle.

No coach has ever won a game by what he knows it's what his players know that counts.
Bear Bryant
Image
I ain't never had much fun. I ain't never been two inches away from a football. Here guys go fishing on the day of the game, hunting, golfing, and all I want to do is be alone, studying how not to lose.
Bear Bryant
Image
I know what it takes to win. If I can sell them on what it takes to win, then we are not going to lose too many football games.

But there's one thing about quitters you have to guard against - they are contagious. If one boy goes, the chances are he'll take somebody with him, and you don't want that. So when they would start acting that way, I used to pack them up and get them out, or embarrass them, or do something to turn them around.

You have to learn what makes this or that Sammy run. For one it's a pat on the back, for another it's eating him out, for still another it's a fatherly talk, or something else. You're a fool if you think as I did as a young coach, that you can treat them all alike.
Bear Bryant
Image
When you win, there's glory enough for everybody. When you lose, there's glory for none.
Bear Bryant
Image
I think the most important thing of all for any team is a winning attitude. The coaches must have it. The players must have it. The student body must have it. If you have dedicated players who believe in themselves, you don't need a lot of talent.
Bear Bryant
Image
Never be too proud to get down on your knees and pray.
Bear Bryant
Image
I left Texas A&M because my school called me. Mama called, and when Mama calls, then you just have to come running.

Scout yourself. Have a buddy who coaches scout you.

Football games are generally won by the boys with the greatest desire.

Offense sells tickets, but defense wins championships.

In order to have a winner, the team must have a feeling of unity every player must put the team first ahead of personal glory.
