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.

Don't overwork your squad. If you're going to make a mistake, under-work them.

No coach has ever won a game by what he knows it's what his players know that counts.

Image
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.

Mama wanted me to be a preacher. I told her coachin' and preachin' were a lot alike.
Bear Bryant
Image
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.

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.
