More quotes by Bear Bryant
It really doesn't cost anything to be nice, and the rewards can be unimaginable
Bear Bryant
But it's still a coach's game. Make no mistake. You start at the top. If you don't have a good one at the top, you don't have a cut dog's chance.
Bear Bryant
If you whoop and holler all the time, the players just get used to it.
Bear Bryant
You must learn how to hold a team together. You must lift some men up, calm others down, until finally they've got one heartbeat. Then you've got yourself a team.
Bear Bryant
Don't talk too much or too soon.
Bear Bryant
When I was a young coach I used to say, Treat everybody alike. That's bull. Treat everybody fairly.
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
I always want my players to show class, knock'em down, pat on the back, and run back to the huddle.
Bear Bryant
Baton Rouge happens to be the worst place in the world for a visiting team. It's like being inside a drum.
Bear Bryant
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.
Bear Bryant
There's no substitute for guts.
Bear Bryant
I make my practices real hard because if a player is a quitter, I want him to quit in practice, not in a game.
Bear Bryant
There's a lot of blood, sweat, and guts between dreams and success.
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
You take those little rascals, talk to them good, pat them on the back, let them think they are good, and they will go out and beat the biguns.
Bear Bryant
Lee Roy was the best college linebacker - bar none. He would have made every tackle on every play if they had stayed in bounds.
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
Sacrifice. Work. Self-discipline. I teach these things, and my boys don't forget them when they leave.
Bear Bryant
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.
Bear Bryant
There is no sin in not liking to play it's a mistake for a boy to be there if he doesn't want to.
Bear Bryant
