There's no substitute for guts.
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.

I have had players who are good, and who know they are good I have had players who are bad and know they are bad I have had players who are good, but who don't know they are good I have had players who are bad, but who don't know they are bad. It is this last group that has won more games for me than the first three groups combined.

When you win, there's glory enough for everybody. When you lose, there's glory for none.
Bear Bryant
Image
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.

Football games are generally won by the boys with the greatest desire.
Bear Bryant

No coach has ever won a game by what he knows it's what his players know that counts.

Being inside Tiger Stadium is like being on the inside of a drum.

If it is worth playing, it is worth paying the price to win.
Bear Bryant

You try to make your team do something they're not capable of and you get murdered.
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.

Don't ever give up on ability. Don't give up on a player who has it.
