More quotes by 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
If you don't have discipline, you can't have a successful program.
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 it is worth playing, it is worth paying the price to win.
Bear Bryant
There is no substitute for guts.
Bear Bryant
Sacrifice. Work. Self-discipline. I teach these things, and my boys don't forget them when they leave.
Bear Bryant
I'm known as a recruiter. Well you've got to have chicken to make chicken salad.
Bear Bryant
The faint old man shall lean his silver head To feel thee thou shalt kiss the child asleep, And dry the moistened curls that overspread His temples, while his breathing grows more deep.
Bear Bryant
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
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
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
Mama wanted me to be a preacher. I told her coachin' and preachin' were a lot alike.
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
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
You try to make your team do something they're not capable of and you get murdered.
Bear Bryant
You have to be willing to out-condition your opponents.
Bear Bryant
I'm no genius, but I'm a damn good football coach.
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
There is a big difference in wanting to and willing to.
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
