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.

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.

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
Image
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.

When you make a mistake, there are only three things you should ever do about it: 1. Admit it. 2. Learn from it, and 3. Don't repeat it.

Image
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's no use fussing on a boy who doesn't have any ability.

If you are going to be a successful duck hunter, you must go where the ducks are.

Losing doesn't make me want to quit. It makes me want to fight that much harder.

There is no sin in not liking to play it's a mistake for a boy to be there if he doesn't want to.

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.
