You have to be willing to out-condition your opponents.

Bear Bryant

Be aware of ‘yes’ men. Generally, they are losers. Surround yourself with winners. Never forget – people win.

Bear Bryant

Don’t overwork your squad. If you’re going to make a mistake, under-work them.

Bear Bryant

Don’t tolerate lazy people. They are losers.

Football games are generally won by the boys with the greatest desire.

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

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

I’ll never give up on a player regardless of his ability as long as he never gives up on himself. In time he will develop.

Bear Bryant

I’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 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.
