More quotes by 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

Bear Bryant
I ain't won but one. My team won the rest in spite of me.
Bear Bryant
When you play defense you have to storm the fort or play cover - you can't do both.
Bear Bryant
I know what it takes to win. If I can sell them on what it takes to win, then we are not going to lose too many football games.
Bear Bryant
If you whoop and holler all the time, the players just get used to it.
Bear Bryant
When I was a young coach I used to say, Treat everybody alike. That's bull. Treat everybody fairly.
Bear Bryant
Football games are generally won by the boys with the greatest desire.
Bear Bryant
We can't have two standards, one set for the dedicated young men who want to do something ambitious and one set for those who don't.
Bear Bryant
