More quotes by 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.
Bear Bryant
Offense sells tickets, but defense wins championships.
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
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
There's no substitute for guts.
Bear Bryant
If you are going to be a successful duck hunter, you must go where the ducks are.
Bear Bryant
Mama wanted me to be a preacher. I told her coachin' and preachin' were a lot alike.
Bear Bryant
In order to have a winner, the team must have a feeling of unity every player must put the team first ahead of personal glory.
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
No coach has ever won a game by what he knows it's what his players know that counts.
Bear Bryant
If you whoop and holler all the time, the players just get used to it.
Bear Bryant
Have a plan. Follow the plan, and you'll be surprised how successful you can be. Most people don't have a plan. That's why it's easy to beat most folks.
Bear Bryant
Losing doesn't make me want to quit. It makes me want to fight that much harder.
Bear Bryant
Never be too proud to get down on your knees and pray.
Bear Bryant
Set goals - high goals for you and your organization. When your organization has a goal to shoot for, you create teamwork, people working for a common good.
Bear Bryant
I think the most important thing of all for any team is a winning attitude. The coaches must have it. The players must have it. The student body must have it. If you have dedicated players who believe in themselves, you don't need a lot of talent.
Bear Bryant
Here's a twenty, bury two.
Bear Bryant
There's a lot of blood, sweat, and guts between dreams and success.
Bear Bryant
You take those little rascals, talk to them good, pat them on the back, let them think they are good, and they will go out and beat the biguns.
Bear Bryant
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.
Bear Bryant
