When you win, there's glory enough for everybody. When you lose, there's glory for none.
Bear Bryant
Image
They say I teach brutal football, but the only thing brutal about football is losing.
Bear Bryant
Image
Football games are generally won by the boys with the greatest desire.
Bear Bryant
Image
There's no use fussing on a boy who doesn't have any ability.
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.
Bear Bryant
Image
I always want my players to show class, knock'em down, pat on the back, and run back to the huddle.

Image
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
Image
There is no substitute for guts.
Bear Bryant
Image
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
Image
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.

Image
But there's one thing about quitters you have to guard against - they are contagious. If one boy goes, the chances are he'll take somebody with him, and you don't want that. So when they would start acting that way, I used to pack them up and get them out, or embarrass them, or do something to turn them around.

Image
I'll put you through hell, but at the end of it all we'll be champions.
Bear Bryant
Image
If you believe in yourself and have dedication and pride - and never quit, you'll be a winner. The price of victory is high but so are the rewards.
Bear Bryant
Image
There's a lot of blood, sweat, and guts between dreams and success.
Bear Bryant
Image
There ought to be a special place in heaven for coaches' wives.

Image
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.

Don't talk too much. Don't pop off. Don't talk after the game until you cool off.
Bear Bryant
Image
No coach has ever won a game by what he knows it's what his players know that counts.
Bear Bryant
Image
If wanting to win is a fault, as some of my critics seem to insist, then I plead guilty. I like to win. I know no other way. It's in my blood.
Bear Bryant
Image
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.
