More quotes by Bear Bryant
There's no use fussing on a boy who doesn't have any ability.
Bear Bryant
I don't have any ideas my coaches have them. I just pass the ideas on and referee the arguments.
Bear Bryant
Scout yourself. Have a buddy who coaches scout you.
Bear Bryant
But it's still a coach's game. Make no mistake. You start at the top. If you don't have a good one at the top, you don't have a cut dog's chance.
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
Don't overwork your squad. If you're going to make a mistake, under-work them.
Bear Bryant
I ain't never been nothin but a winner.
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
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
If you don't learn anything but self discipline, then athletics is worthwhile.
Bear Bryant
Set goals - high goals for you and your organization. When your organization has a goal to shoot for, you create teamwork, people working for a common good.
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
Offense sells tickets, but defense wins championships.
Bear Bryant
I ain't won but one. My team won the rest in spite of me.
Bear Bryant
Don't talk too much or too soon.
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
There ought to be a special place in heaven for coaches' wives.
Bear Bryant
I always want my players to show class, knock'em down, pat on the back, and run back to the huddle.
Bear Bryant
I ain't never had much fun. I ain't never been two inches away from a football. Here guys go fishing on the day of the game, hunting, golfing, and all I want to do is be alone, studying how not to lose.
Bear Bryant
In a crisis, don't hide behind anything or anybody. They're going to find you anyway.
Bear Bryant
