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.

More quotes by Bear Bryant
Offense sells tickets, but defense wins championships.
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 don't learn anything but self discipline, then athletics is worthwhile.
Bear Bryant
There's no use fussing on a boy who doesn't have any ability.
Bear Bryant
If they don't have a winning attitude, I don't want them.
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
When I was a young coach I used to say, Treat everybody alike. That's bull. Treat everybody fairly.
Bear Bryant
When you play defense you have to storm the fort or play cover - you can't do both.
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
There is no substitute for guts.
Bear Bryant
I'd like for people to remember me as a winner, because I ain't never been nothin but a winner.
Bear Bryant
Don't ever give up on ability. Don't give up on a player who has it.
Bear Bryant
I ain't won but one. My team won the rest in spite of me.
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
Nearly every coach I've talked with tells me that the attention you get from media and other people is the thing you miss most. I don't know if that's right.
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
In order to have a winner, the team must have a feeling of unity every player must put the team first ahead of personal glory.
Bear Bryant
Losing doesn't make me want to quit. It makes me want to fight that much harder.
Bear Bryant
I'm known as a recruiter. Well you've got to have chicken to make chicken salad.
Bear Bryant
You're still going to win with preparation and dedication and plain old desire. If you don't have genuine desire, you won't be dedicated enough to prepare properly.
Bear Bryant
