More quotes by 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
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
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
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
Never be too proud to get down on your knees and pray.
Bear Bryant

Bear Bryant
You take those little rascals, talk to them good, pat them on the back, let them think they are good, and they will go out and beat the biguns.
Bear Bryant
I'll put you through hell, but at the end of it all we'll be champions.
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
If they don't have a winning attitude, I don't want them.
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
If you don't have discipline, you can't have a successful program.
Bear Bryant
I make my practices real hard because if a player is a quitter, I want him to quit in practice, not in a game.
Bear Bryant
Being inside Tiger Stadium is like being on the inside of a drum.
Bear Bryant
It really doesn't cost anything to be nice, and the rewards can be unimaginable
Bear Bryant
Get the winners into the game.
Bear Bryant
Scout yourself. Have a buddy who coaches scout you.
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
Nearly every coach I've talked with tells me that the attention you get from media and other people is the thing you miss most. I don't know if that's right.
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.
