More quotes by 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
There's no use fussing on a boy who doesn't have any ability.
Bear Bryant
I left Texas A&M because my school called me. Mama called, and when Mama calls, then you just have to come running.
Bear Bryant
I'm no innovator. If anything I'm a stealer, or borrower. I've stolen or borrowed from more people than you can shake a stick at.
Bear Bryant
When you win, there's glory enough for everybody. When you lose, there's glory for none.
Bear Bryant
Get the winners into the game.
Bear Bryant
I ain't never been nothin but a winner.
Bear Bryant
You have to learn what makes this or that Sammy run. For one it's a pat on the back, for another it's eating him out, for still another it's a fatherly talk, or something else. You're a fool if you think as I did as a young coach, that you can treat them all alike.
Bear Bryant
I think the most important thing of all for any team is a winning attitude. The coaches must have it. The players must have it. The student body must have it. If you have dedicated players who believe in themselves, you don't need a lot of talent.
Bear Bryant
You have to be willing to out-condition your opponents.
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!
Bear Bryant
There's a lot of blood, sweat, and guts between dreams and success.
Bear Bryant
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.
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
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
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
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
Scout yourself. Have a buddy who coaches scout you.
Bear Bryant
Sacrifice. Work. Self-discipline. I teach these things, and my boys don't forget them when they leave.
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.
