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.

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.

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.

Image
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

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.

Image
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.

You take those little rascals, talk to them good, pat them on the back, let them think they are good, and they will go out and beat the biguns.

When you win, there's glory enough for everybody. When you lose, there's glory for none.
Bear Bryant
Image
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.

Image
I'm no genius, but I'm a damn good football coach.
Bear Bryant

When you play defense you have to storm the fort or play cover - you can't do both.

I'll put you through hell, but at the end of it all we'll be champions.

I'd like for people to remember me as a winner, because I ain't never been nothin but a winner.
