More quotes by Bear Bryant
Don't talk too much or too soon.
Bear Bryant
I'll put you through hell, but at the end of it all we'll be champions.
Bear Bryant
If it is worth playing, it is worth paying the price to win.
Bear Bryant
You have to be willing to out-condition your opponents.
Bear Bryant
My approach to the game has been the same at all the places I've been. Vanilla. The sure way. That means, first of all, to win physically. If you got eleven on a field, and they beat the other eleven physically, they'll win. They will start forcing mistakes. They'll win in the fourth quarter.
Bear Bryant
In a crisis, don't hide behind anything or anybody. They're going to find you anyway.
Bear Bryant
Have a plan. Follow the plan, and you'll be surprised how successful you can be. Most people don't have a plan. That's why it's easy to beat most folks.
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
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
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
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
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
In life, you'll have your back up against the wall many times. You might as well get used to it.
Bear Bryant
I'd like for people to remember me as a winner, because I ain't never been nothin but a winner.
Bear Bryant
Georgia Tech beat us and Mississippi Southern tied us last year, and Texas beat us after we had the game won. We only played about five games the way we were capable of playing and lost one of those.
Bear Bryant
Mama wanted me to be a preacher. I told her coachin' and preachin' were a lot alike.
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
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
Scout yourself. Have a buddy who coaches scout you.
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
