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

Bear Bryant
I'm no genius, but I'm a damn good football coach.
Bear Bryant
I left Texas A&M because my school called me. Mama called, and when Mama calls, then you just have to come running.
Bear Bryant
Scout yourself. Have a buddy who coaches scout you.
Bear Bryant
Never be too proud to get down on your knees and pray.
