The Lord expects you to do some things for yourself.
BEAR BRYANTThe Lord expects you to do some things for yourself.
BEAR BRYANTMost coaches study the films when they lose. I study them when we win -to see if I can figure out what I did right.
BEAR BRYANTIf 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 BRYANTDon’t give up. Reach down inside of you and you’ll find something left.
BEAR BRYANTAll I know is, I don’t want to stop coaching, and I don’t want to stop winning, so we’re gonna break the record unless I die.
BEAR BRYANTI’ve made so many mistakes that if I don’t make the same mistakes over, we’re going to come pretty close to winning.
BEAR BRYANTIt’s kind of hard to rally around a math class.
BEAR BRYANTI tell young players who want to be coaches, who think they can put up with all the headaches and heartaches, can you live without it? If you can live without it, don’t get in it.
BEAR BRYANTThere is no substitute for guts.
BEAR BRYANTYou win games with your strengths, not your weaknesses.
BEAR BRYANTIf 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 BRYANTIn life, you’ll have your back up against the wall many times. You might as well get used to it.
BEAR BRYANTThere is no sin in not liking to play; it’s a mistake for a boy to be there if he doesn’t want to.
BEAR BRYANTIf anything goes bad, I did it. If anything goes semi-good, we did it. If anything goes real good, then you did it. That’s all it takes to get people to win football games for you.
BEAR BRYANTYou’re still going to win with preparation and dedication and plain old desire. If you don’t have genuine desire, you won’t be dedicated enough to prepare properly.
BEAR BRYANTI 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.
