More quotes by Bear Bryant
I'll put you through hell, but at the end of it all we'll be champions.
Bear Bryant
When I was a young coach I used to say, Treat everybody alike. That's bull. Treat everybody fairly.
Bear Bryant
Football games are generally won by the boys with the greatest desire.
Bear Bryant
I ain't won but one. My team won the rest in spite of me.
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
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
Being inside Tiger Stadium is like being on the inside of a drum.
Bear Bryant
Mama wanted me to be a preacher. I told her coachin' and preachin' were a lot alike.
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
Don't overwork your squad. If you're going to make a mistake, under-work them.
Bear Bryant
When you make a mistake, there are only three things you should ever do about it: 1. Admit it. 2. Learn from it, and 3. Don't repeat it.
Bear Bryant
Get the winners into the game.
Bear Bryant
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
You win games with your strengths, not your weaknesses.
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'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
In a crisis, don't hide behind anything or anybody. They're going to find you anyway.
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
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.
Bear Bryant
When you play defense you have to storm the fort or play cover - you can't do both.
Bear Bryant
