More quotes by 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
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
I'm known as a recruiter. Well you've got to have chicken to make chicken salad.
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
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
Sure, I'd love to beat Notre Dame, don't get me wrong. But nothing matters more than beating that cow college on the other side of the state!
Bear Bryant
If it is worth playing, it is worth paying the price to win.
Bear Bryant
You must learn how to hold a team together. You must lift some men up, calm others down, until finally they've got one heartbeat. Then you've got yourself a team.
Bear Bryant
Sacrifice. Work. Self-discipline. I teach these things, and my boys don't forget them when they leave.
Bear Bryant
First there are those who are winners, and know they are winners. Then there are the losers who know they are losers. Then there are those who are not winners, but don't know it. They're the ones for me. They never quit trying. They're the soul of our game.
Bear Bryant
Don't overwork your squad. If you're going to make a mistake, under-work them.
Bear Bryant
If you don't learn anything but self discipline, then athletics is worthwhile.
Bear Bryant
It's nice to have the opportunity to play for so much money, but it's nicer to win it.
Bear Bryant
I didn't have a thing to do with picking a coach, and didn't want to. But I didn't think they'd pick one I didn't like.
Bear Bryant
If you are going to be a successful duck hunter, you must go where the ducks are.
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
I always want my players to show class, knock'em down, pat on the back, and run back to the huddle.
Bear Bryant
There is no sin in not liking to play it's a mistake for a boy to be there if he doesn't want to.
Bear Bryant
There ought to be a special place in heaven for coaches' wives.
Bear Bryant
It really doesn't cost anything to be nice, and the rewards can be unimaginable
