More quotes by Bear Bryant

Image
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
Image
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.

Image
Georgia Tech beat us and Mississippi Southern tied us last year, and Texas beat us after we had the game won. We only played about five games the way we were capable of playing and lost one of those.
Bear Bryant
Image
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

There's no use fussing on a boy who doesn't have any ability.

Scout yourself. Have a buddy who coaches scout you.

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.

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.

There's a lot of blood, sweat, and guts between dreams and success.

You try to make your team do something they're not capable of and you get murdered.

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.

Everybody's got pretty good players now, more players than there've ever been. If you play poorly, you're going to get beat.

If they don't have a winning attitude, I don't want them.

Image
If you whoop and holler all the time, the players just get used to it.

Football games are generally won by the boys with the greatest desire.

Image
I don't have any ideas my coaches have them. I just pass the ideas on and referee the arguments.

Don't talk too much or too soon.

When you win, there's glory enough for everybody. When you lose, there's glory for none.
Bear Bryant
Image
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.

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!
