More quotes by 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
If you don't have discipline, you can't have a successful program.
Bear Bryant
Offense sells tickets, but defense wins championships.
Bear Bryant
Don't overwork your squad. If you're going to make a mistake, under-work them.
Bear Bryant
I'm not much of a golfer, I don't have any friends and all I like to do is go home and be alone, and not worry about ways not to lose.
Bear Bryant
There is no substitute for guts.
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
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.
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
I'm known as a recruiter. Well you've got to have chicken to make chicken salad.
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
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
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
There's a lot of blood, sweat, and guts between dreams and success.
Bear Bryant
When you play defense you have to storm the fort or play cover - you can't do both.
Bear Bryant
Never be too proud to get down on your knees and pray.
Bear Bryant
I'll put you through hell, but at the end of it all we'll be champions.
Bear Bryant
Get the winners into the game.
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
Football games are generally won by the boys with the greatest desire.
Bear Bryant
