I've made so many mistakes that if I don't make the same mistakes over, we're going to come pretty close to winning.
Bear Bryant
Image
Get the winners into the game.
Bear Bryant
Image
If you believe in yourself and have dedication and pride - and never quit, you'll be a winner. The price of victory is high but so are the rewards.

Back 12 years ago, when Dr. Mathews was president here, we had a plan that when I got ready to quit, we'd bring a certain guy in and he'd take over that day and I'd leave. But as time wore on, I realized that wouldn't have been good at all.

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.

I make my practices real hard because if a player is a quitter, I want him to quit in practice, not in a game.

Mama wanted me to be a preacher. I told her coachin' and preachin' were a lot alike.

Image
It's nice to have the opportunity to play for so much money, but it's nicer to win it.
Bear Bryant
Image
I always want my players to show class, knock'em down, pat on the back, and run back to the huddle.
Bear Bryant
Image
I can remember loving to recruit. I knew I was going to do my best. But traveling and recruiting doesn't appeal to me any more. It's not as much fun as it used to be.
Bear Bryant
Image
I have had players who are good, and who know they are good I have had players who are bad and know they are bad I have had players who are good, but who don't know they are good I have had players who are bad, but who don't know they are bad. It is this last group that has won more games for me than the first three groups combined.
Bear Bryant
Image
I ain't won but one. My team won the rest in spite of me.
Bear Bryant
Image
In a crisis, don't hide behind anything or anybody. They're going to find you anyway.
Bear Bryant
Image
You try to make your team do something they're not capable of and you get murdered.
Bear Bryant
Image
Never be too proud to get down on your knees and pray.

Nearly every coach I've talked with tells me that the attention you get from media and other people is the thing you miss most. I don't know if that's right.

I'm no genius, but I'm a damn good football coach.
