More quotes by Bear Bryant
When you play defense you have to storm the fort or play cover - you can't do both.
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
If it is worth playing, it is worth paying the price to win.
Bear Bryant
Offense sells tickets, but defense wins championships.
Bear Bryant
Don't overwork your squad. If you're going to make a mistake, under-work them.
Bear Bryant
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
There's a lot of blood, sweat, and guts between dreams and success.
Bear Bryant
When I was a young coach I used to say, Treat everybody alike. That's bull. Treat everybody fairly.
Bear Bryant

Bear Bryant
When you win, there's glory enough for everybody. When you lose, there's glory for none.
Bear Bryant
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.
Bear Bryant
If a man is a quitter, I'd rather find out in practice than in a game. I ask for all a player has so I'll know later what I can expect.
Bear Bryant
Scout yourself. Have a buddy who coaches scout you.
Bear Bryant
There's no use fussing on a boy who doesn't have any ability.
Bear Bryant
I ain't won but one. My team won the rest in spite of me.
Bear Bryant
Sacrifice. Work. Self-discipline. I teach these things, and my boys don't forget them when they leave.
Bear Bryant
In life, you'll have your back up against the wall many times. You might as well get used to it.
Bear Bryant
You try to make your team do something they're not capable of and you get murdered.
Bear Bryant
