Quote

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.

Football games are generally won by the boys with the greatest desire.

If you whoop and holler all the time, the players just get used to it.

Losing doesn't make me want to quit. It makes me want to fight that much harder.
Bear Bryant
Image
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.

Everybody's got pretty good players now, more players than there've ever been. If you play poorly, you're going to get beat.

I'm happy with the coach we have. I think any one of the ones I asked them to consider would've been good.
Bear Bryant

There's a lot of blood, sweat, and guts between dreams and success.

I think the most important thing of all for any team is a winning attitude. The coaches must have it. The players must have it. The student body must have it. If you have dedicated players who believe in themselves, you don't need a lot of talent.

It's nice to have the opportunity to play for so much money, but it's nicer to win it.
Bear Bryant
Image
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
Image
But there's one thing about quitters you have to guard against - they are contagious. If one boy goes, the chances are he'll take somebody with him, and you don't want that. So when they would start acting that way, I used to pack them up and get them out, or embarrass them, or do something to turn them around.

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.

Image
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

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
Image
If they don't have a winning attitude, I don't want them.
Bear Bryant
Image
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
Image
Never be too proud to get down on your knees and pray.
Bear Bryant
Image
If a man is a quitter, I'd rather find out in practice than in a game. I ask for all a player has so I'll know later what I can expect.

Don't overwork your squad. If you're going to make a mistake, under-work them.
