More quotes by Bear Bryant
Scout yourself. Have a buddy who coaches scout you.
Bear Bryant
I can remember loving to recruit. I knew I was going to do my best. But traveling and recruiting doesn't appeal to me any more. It's not as much fun as it used to be.
Bear Bryant
They say I teach brutal football, but the only thing brutal about football is losing.
Bear Bryant
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.
Bear Bryant
I'd like for people to remember me as a winner, because I ain't never been nothin but a winner.
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
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.
Bear Bryant
You're still going to win with preparation and dedication and plain old desire. If you don't have genuine desire, you won't be dedicated enough to prepare properly.
Bear Bryant
But it's still a coach's game. Make no mistake. You start at the top. If you don't have a good one at the top, you don't have a cut dog's chance.
Bear Bryant
I ain't never been nothin but a winner.
Bear Bryant
Being inside Tiger Stadium is like being on the inside of a drum.
Bear Bryant
I don't have any ideas my coaches have them. I just pass the ideas on and referee the arguments.
Bear Bryant
Don't overwork your squad. If you're going to make a mistake, under-work them.
Bear Bryant
There's no substitute for guts.
Bear Bryant
Don't talk too much or too soon.
Bear Bryant
You win games with your strengths, not your weaknesses.
Bear Bryant
I'm known as a recruiter. Well you've got to have chicken to make chicken salad.
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
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.
Bear Bryant
Losing doesn't make me want to quit. It makes me want to fight that much harder.
Bear Bryant
