It really doesn't cost anything to be nice, and the rewards can be unimaginable

I'd like for people to remember me as a winner, because I ain't never been nothin but a winner.

There ought to be a special place in heaven for coaches' wives.

Image
There's no substitute for guts.
Bear Bryant
Image
I ain't won but one. My team won the rest in spite of me.
Bear Bryant
Image
I didn't have a thing to do with picking a coach, and didn't want to. But I didn't think they'd pick one I didn't like.

Image
When you play defense you have to storm the fort or play cover - you can't do both.
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.

I'm happy with the coach we have. I think any one of the ones I asked them to consider would've been good.

I ain't never been nothin but a winner.
Bear Bryant
Image
First there are those who are winners, and know they are winners. Then there are the losers who know they are losers. Then there are those who are not winners, but don't know it. They're the ones for me. They never quit trying. They're the soul of our game.

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.

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.

When you win, there's glory enough for everybody. When you lose, there's glory for none.
Bear Bryant
Image
Don't talk too much. Don't pop off. Don't talk after the game until you cool off.

Image
Georgia Tech beat us and Mississippi Southern tied us last year, and Texas beat us after we had the game won. We only played about five games the way we were capable of playing and lost one of those.

People who are in it for their own good are individualists. They don't share the same heartbeat that makes a team so great. A great unit, whether it be football or any organization, shares the same heartbeat.

Image
My approach to the game has been the same at all the places I've been. Vanilla. The sure way. That means, first of all, to win physically. If you got eleven on a field, and they beat the other eleven physically, they'll win. They will start forcing mistakes. They'll win in the fourth quarter.

Never be too proud to get down on your knees and pray.

I'm no innovator. If anything I'm a stealer, or borrower. I've stolen or borrowed from more people than you can shake a stick at.
