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
Image
If a man is a quitter, I'd rather find out in practice than in a game. I ask for all a player has so I'll know later what I can expect.

Being inside Tiger Stadium is like being on the inside of a drum.
Bear Bryant
Image
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 you are going to be a successful duck hunter, you must go where the ducks are.
Bear Bryant
Image
I'm no innovator. If anything I'm a stealer, or borrower. I've stolen or borrowed from more people than you can shake a stick at.
Bear Bryant
Image
No coach has ever won a game by what he knows it's what his players know that counts.
