More quotes by 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
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.
Bear Bryant
There's a lot of blood, sweat, and guts between dreams and success.
Bear Bryant
Mama wanted me to be a preacher. I told her coachin' and preachin' were a lot alike.
Bear Bryant
Scout yourself. Have a buddy who coaches scout you.
Bear Bryant
I'm known as a recruiter. Well you've got to have chicken to make chicken salad.
Bear Bryant
Sure, I'd love to beat Notre Dame, don't get me wrong. But nothing matters more than beating that cow college on the other side of the state!
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
If you don't have discipline, you can't have a successful program.
Bear Bryant
I don't have any ideas my coaches have them. I just pass the ideas on and referee the arguments.
Bear Bryant
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.
Bear Bryant
When you win, there's glory enough for everybody. When you lose, there's glory for none.
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
They say I teach brutal football, but the only thing brutal about football is losing.
Bear Bryant
Never be too proud to get down on your knees and pray.
Bear Bryant
There is a big difference in wanting to and willing to.
Bear Bryant
When you play defense you have to storm the fort or play cover - you can't do both.
Bear Bryant
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.
Bear Bryant
Don't overwork your squad. If you're going to make a mistake, under-work them.
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
