More quotes by 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
I know what it takes to win. If I can sell them on what it takes to win, then we are not going to lose too many football games.
Bear Bryant
We can't have two standards, one set for the dedicated young men who want to do something ambitious and one set for those who don't.
Bear Bryant
When you win, there's glory enough for everybody. When you lose, there's glory for none.
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
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
I have had players who are good, and who know they are good I have had players who are bad and know they are bad I have had players who are good, but who don't know they are good I have had players who are bad, but who don't know they are bad. It is this last group that has won more games for me than the first three groups combined.
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.
Bear Bryant
Everybody's got pretty good players now, more players than there've ever been. If you play poorly, you're going to get beat.
Bear Bryant
Sure, I'd love to beat Notre Dame, don't get me wrong. But nothing matters more than beating that cow college on the other side of the state!
Bear Bryant
Lee Roy was the best college linebacker - bar none. He would have made every tackle on every play if they had stayed in bounds.
Bear Bryant
If there is one thing that has helped me as a coach, it's my ability to recognize winners, or good people who can become winners by paying the price.
Bear Bryant
There's no use fussing on a boy who doesn't have any ability.
Bear Bryant
Here's a twenty, bury two.
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
There is no substitute for guts.
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
In a crisis, don't hide behind anything or anybody. They're going to find you anyway.
Bear Bryant
The faint old man shall lean his silver head To feel thee thou shalt kiss the child asleep, And dry the moistened curls that overspread His temples, while his breathing grows more deep.
Bear Bryant
