More quotes by 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
In a crisis, don't hide behind anything or anybody. They're going to find you anyway.
Bear Bryant
Losing doesn't make me want to quit. It makes me want to fight that much harder.
Bear Bryant
They say I teach brutal football, but the only thing brutal about football is losing.
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
Here's a twenty, bury two.
Bear Bryant
I'm no genius, but I'm a damn good football coach.
Bear Bryant
There's no use fussing on a boy who doesn't have any ability.
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
Sacrifice. Work. Self-discipline. I teach these things, and my boys don't forget them when they leave.
Bear Bryant
It's nice to have the opportunity to play for so much money, but it's nicer to win it.
Bear Bryant
Scout yourself. Have a buddy who coaches scout you.
Bear Bryant
Baton Rouge happens to be the worst place in the world for a visiting team. It's like being inside a drum.
Bear Bryant
There's no substitute for guts.
Bear Bryant
Don't talk too much. Don't pop off. Don't talk after the game until you cool off.
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
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
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 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
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
