Three rules for coaching: 1.) Surround yourself with people who can't live without football. 2.) Recognize winners. They come in all forms. 3.) Have a plan for everything.

More quotes by Bear Bryant
It really doesn't cost anything to be nice, and the rewards can be unimaginable
Bear Bryant
In life, you'll have your back up against the wall many times. You might as well get used to it.
Bear Bryant
Being inside Tiger Stadium is like being on the inside of a drum.
Bear Bryant
Don't talk too much. Don't pop off. Don't talk after the game until you cool off.
Bear Bryant
I ain't won but one. My team won the rest in spite of me.
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
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.
Bear Bryant
Here's a twenty, bury two.
Bear Bryant
If you believe in yourself and have dedication and pride - and never quit, you'll be a winner. The price of victory is high but so are the rewards.
Bear Bryant
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.
Bear Bryant
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.
Bear Bryant
If there is one thing that has helped me as a coach, it's my ability to recognize winners, or good people who can become winners by paying the price.
Bear Bryant
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.
Bear Bryant
I make my practices real hard because if a player is a quitter, I want him to quit in practice, not in a game.
Bear Bryant
Offense sells tickets, but defense wins championships.
Bear Bryant
When I was a young coach I used to say, Treat everybody alike. That's bull. Treat everybody fairly.
Bear Bryant
You have to be willing to out-condition your opponents.
Bear Bryant
If wanting to win is a fault, as some of my critics seem to insist, then I plead guilty. I like to win. I know no other way. It's in my blood.
Bear Bryant
Don't ever give up on ability. Don't give up on a player who has it.
Bear Bryant
Scout yourself. Have a buddy who coaches scout you.
Bear Bryant
