Image
I ain't never had much fun. I ain't never been two inches away from a football. Here guys go fishing on the day of the game, hunting, golfing, and all I want to do is be alone, studying how not to lose.
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
Image
Never be too proud to get down on your knees and pray.

Image
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
Image
First there are those who are winners, and know they are winners. Then there are the losers who know they are losers. Then there are those who are not winners, but don't know it. They're the ones for me. They never quit trying. They're the soul of our game.

Image
Being inside Tiger Stadium is like being on the inside of a drum.
Bear Bryant
Image
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
Image
I always want my players to show class, knock'em down, pat on the back, and run back to the huddle.
Bear Bryant
Image
There's no substitute for guts.
Bear Bryant
Image
I ain't never been nothin but a winner.

Scout yourself. Have a buddy who coaches scout you.

I'm known as a recruiter. Well you've got to have chicken to make chicken salad.
Bear Bryant
Image
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.

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.
