More quotes by 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
Sacrifice. Work. Self-discipline. I teach these things, and my boys don't forget them when they leave.
Bear Bryant
There is a big difference in wanting to and willing to.
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.

They say I teach brutal football, but the only thing brutal about football is losing.
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
No coach has ever won a game by what he knows it's what his players know that counts.
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

Bear Bryant
Losing doesn't make me want to quit. It makes me want to fight that much harder.
Bear Bryant
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.
Bear Bryant
Being inside Tiger Stadium is like being on the inside of a drum.
Bear Bryant
Scout yourself. Have a buddy who coaches scout you.
Bear Bryant
There ought to be a special place in heaven for coaches' wives.
Bear Bryant
If you don't learn anything but self discipline, then athletics is worthwhile.
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
You win games with your strengths, not your weaknesses.
Bear Bryant
Don't ever give up on ability. Don't give up on a player who has it.
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
I'm known as a recruiter. Well you've got to have chicken to make chicken salad.
