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

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.

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.

They say I teach brutal football, but the only thing brutal about football is losing.
Bear Bryant
Image
Don't talk too much. Don't pop off. Don't talk after the game until you cool off.

You win games with your strengths, not your weaknesses.
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.

I ain't never been nothin but a winner.
Bear Bryant
Image
My approach to the game has been the same at all the places I've been. Vanilla. The sure way. That means, first of all, to win physically. If you got eleven on a field, and they beat the other eleven physically, they'll win. They will start forcing mistakes. They'll win in the fourth quarter.

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.

Don't ever give up on ability. Don't give up on a player who has it.
