More quotes by Bear Bryant
Have a plan. Follow the plan, and you'll be surprised how successful you can be. Most people don't have a plan. That's why it's easy to beat most folks.
Bear Bryant
It's nice to have the opportunity to play for so much money, but it's nicer to win it.
Bear Bryant
You have to learn what makes this or that Sammy run. For one it's a pat on the back, for another it's eating him out, for still another it's a fatherly talk, or something else. You're a fool if you think as I did as a young coach, that you can treat them all alike.
Bear Bryant
No coach has ever won a game by what he knows it's what his players know that counts.
Bear Bryant
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.
Bear Bryant
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
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
When you play defense you have to storm the fort or play cover - you can't do both.
Bear Bryant
If you whoop and holler all the time, the players just get used to it.
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 a lot of blood, sweat, and guts between dreams and success.
Bear Bryant
Losing doesn't make me want to quit. It makes me want to fight that much harder.
Bear Bryant
There is no substitute for guts.
Bear Bryant
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
There's no substitute for guts.
Bear Bryant
There's no use fussing on a boy who doesn't have any ability.
Bear Bryant
I'll put you through hell, but at the end of it all we'll be champions.
Bear Bryant
I don't have any ideas my coaches have them. I just pass the ideas on and referee the arguments.
Bear Bryant
Mama wanted me to be a preacher. I told her coachin' and preachin' were a lot alike.
Bear Bryant
In life, you'll have your back up against the wall many times. You might as well get used to it.
Bear Bryant
