More quotes by Bear Bryant
I ain't never had much fun. I ain't never been two inches away from a football. Here guys go fishing on the day of the game, hunting, golfing, and all I want to do is be alone, studying how not to lose.
Bear Bryant
If they don't have a winning attitude, I don't want them.
Bear Bryant
I'll put you through hell, but at the end of it all we'll be champions.
Bear Bryant
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.
Bear Bryant
When you play defense you have to storm the fort or play cover - you can't do both.
Bear Bryant

Here's a twenty, bury two.
Bear Bryant
Get the winners into the game.
Bear Bryant

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
Set goals - high goals for you and your organization. When your organization has a goal to shoot for, you create teamwork, people working for a common good.
Bear Bryant
Have a plan. Follow the plan, and you'll be surprised how successful you can be. Most people don't have a plan. That's why it's easy to beat most folks.
Bear Bryant
No coach has ever won a game by what he knows it's what his players know that counts.
Bear Bryant
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
Scout yourself. Have a buddy who coaches scout you.
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
Sure, I'd love to beat Notre Dame, don't get me wrong. But nothing matters more than beating that cow college on the other side of the state!
