More quotes by Bear Bryant
When you win, there's glory enough for everybody. When you lose, there's glory for none.
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
Sacrifice. Work. Self-discipline. I teach these things, and my boys don't forget them when they leave.
Bear Bryant
In life, you'll have your back up against the wall many times. You might as well get used to it.
Bear Bryant
I ain't never had much fun. I ain't never been two inches away from a football. Here guys go fishing on the day of the game, hunting, golfing, and all I want to do is be alone, studying how not to lose.
Bear Bryant
I've made so many mistakes that if I don't make the same mistakes over, we're going to come pretty close to winning.
Bear Bryant
You have to learn what makes this or that Sammy run. For one it's a pat on the back, for another it's eating him out, for still another it's a fatherly talk, or something else. You're a fool if you think as I did as a young coach, that you can treat them all alike.
Bear Bryant
I don't have any ideas my coaches have them. I just pass the ideas on and referee the arguments.
Bear Bryant
Football games are generally won by the boys with the greatest desire.
Bear Bryant
They say I teach brutal football, but the only thing brutal about football is losing.
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
I'm no genius, but I'm a damn good football coach.
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
I'm not much of a golfer, I don't have any friends and all I like to do is go home and be alone, and not worry about ways not to lose.
Bear Bryant
When I was a young coach I used to say, Treat everybody alike. That's bull. Treat everybody fairly.
Bear Bryant
If it is worth playing, it is worth paying the price to win.
Bear Bryant
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.
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.
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
Here's a twenty, bury two.
Bear Bryant
