More quotes by Bear Bryant

Bear Bryant
No coach has ever won a game by what he knows it's what his players know that counts.
Bear Bryant
They say I teach brutal football, but the only thing brutal about football is losing.
Bear Bryant

Bear Bryant
Everybody's got pretty good players now, more players than there've ever been. If you play poorly, you're going to get beat.
Bear Bryant
I'm happy with the coach we have. I think any one of the ones I asked them to consider would've been good.
Bear Bryant
Don't talk too much or too soon.
Bear Bryant
The faint old man shall lean his silver head To feel thee thou shalt kiss the child asleep, And dry the moistened curls that overspread His temples, while his breathing grows more deep.
Bear Bryant
It really doesn't cost anything to be nice, and the rewards can be unimaginable
Bear Bryant
Be aware of yes men. Generally, they are losers. Surround yourself with winners. Never forget - people win.
Bear Bryant
I'm known as a recruiter. Well you've got to have chicken to make chicken salad.
