More quotes by Woody Hayes
Picking an assistant coach, the first thing I was interested in was the man's character.
Woody Hayes
Indomitable in victory, insufferable in defeat.
Woody Hayes
The most deceptive course in football is straight at the goalposts.
Woody Hayes
A man is always better than he thinks.
Woody Hayes
There's nothing in this world that comes easy. There are a lot of people who aren't going to bother to win. We learn in football to get up and go once more.
Woody Hayes
I don't apologize for anything. When I make a mistake, I take the blame and go on from there. I just despise to lose, and that has taken a man of mediocre ability and made a pretty good coach out of him.
Woody Hayes
You'll find out that nothing that comes easy is worth a dime. As a matter of fact, I never saw a football player make a tackle with a smile on his face. Never.
Woody Hayes
Anything easy ain't worth a damn!
Woody Hayes
The five big mistakes in football are the fumble, the interception, the penalty, the badly called play, the blocked punt—and most of these originate with the quarterback. Find a mistake-proof quarterback and you have this game won.
Woody Hayes
You don't get hurt running straight ahead...three-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust offense. I will pound you and pound you until you quit.
Woody Hayes
There's nothing that cleanses your soul like getting the hell kicked out of you.
Woody Hayes
The players fire the coach, and as long as I'm on the same wavelength with them, I can coach as long as I want to.
Woody Hayes
Without winners, there wouldn't even be any civilization.
Woody Hayes
Nobody despises to lose more than I do. That's got me into trouble over the years, but it also made a man of mediocre ability into a pretty good coach.
Woody Hayes
When you're winning - you don't need any friends. When you're losing - you don't have any friends anyway.
Woody Hayes
The minute I think I'm getting mellow, I'm retiring. Who ever heard of a mellow winner?
Woody Hayes
Paralyze resistance with persistence.
Woody Hayes
Even the best team, without a sound plan, can't score.
Woody Hayes
Because I couldn't go for three.
Woody Hayes
I love football. I think it is most wonderful game in world and I despise to lose.
Woody Hayes
