Quote

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.

I ain't won but one. My team won the rest in spite of me.

It really doesn't cost anything to be nice, and the rewards can be unimaginable
Bear Bryant

In order to have a winner, the team must have a feeling of unity every player must put the team first ahead of personal glory.

Image
Don't talk too much. Don't pop off. Don't talk after the game until you cool off.

There is no substitute for guts.

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.

I make my practices real hard because if a player is a quitter, I want him to quit in practice, not in a game.

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
Image
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.

I didn't have a thing to do with picking a coach, and didn't want to. But I didn't think they'd pick one I didn't like.
Bear Bryant
Image
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
Image
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.

Here's a twenty, bury two.

I have had players who are good, and who know they are good I have had players who are bad and know they are bad I have had players who are good, but who don't know they are good I have had players who are bad, but who don't know they are bad. It is this last group that has won more games for me than the first three groups combined.

I'd like for people to remember me as a winner, because I ain't never been nothin but a winner.

Lee Roy was the best college linebacker - bar none. He would have made every tackle on every play if they had stayed in bounds.

Baton Rouge happens to be the worst place in the world for a visiting team. It's like being inside a drum.
Bear Bryant
Image
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.

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.

There is a big difference in wanting to and willing to.
