Bear Bryant

Bear Bryant

Back 12 years ago, when Dr. Mathews was president here, we had a plan that when I got ready to quit, we'd bring a certain guy in and he'd take over that day and I'd leave. But as time wore on, I realized that wouldn't have been good at all.
Bear Bryant
I ain't won but one. My team won the rest in spite of me.
Bear Bryant
They say I teach brutal football, but the only thing brutal about football is losing.
Bear Bryant
There is a big difference in wanting to and willing to.
Bear Bryant
Don't talk too much or too soon.
Bear Bryant
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.
Bear Bryant
