More quotes by Bear Bryant
If wanting to win is a fault, as some of my critics seem to insist, then I plead guilty. I like to win. I know no other way. It's in my blood.
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
There's a lot of blood, sweat, and guts between dreams and success.
Bear Bryant
I ain't never been nothin but a winner.
Bear Bryant
Three rules for coaching: 1.) Surround yourself with people who can't live without football. 2.) Recognize winners. They come in all forms. 3.) Have a plan for everything.
Bear Bryant
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.
Bear Bryant
I'm no genius, but I'm a damn good football coach.
Bear Bryant
If it is worth playing, it is worth paying the price to win.
Bear Bryant
If there is one thing that has helped me as a coach, it's my ability to recognize winners, or good people who can become winners by paying the price.
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
Don't talk too much or too soon.
Bear Bryant
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
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
In life, you'll have your back up against the wall many times. You might as well get used to it.
Bear Bryant
Offense sells tickets, but defense wins championships.
Bear Bryant
There is a big difference in wanting to and willing to.
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
I always want my players to show class, knock'em down, pat on the back, and run back to the huddle.
Bear Bryant
Never be too proud to get down on your knees and pray.
Bear Bryant
I'm known as a recruiter. Well you've got to have chicken to make chicken salad.
Bear Bryant
