You’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.

A good, quick, small team can beat a big, slow team any time.

All 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.

At Alabama, our players don’t win Heisman Trophies. Our teams win National Championships.

Being inside Tiger Stadium is like being on the inside of a drum.

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. If you do, the rest falls into place. You have to have good assistants, and a lot of things, but first you have to have the chairman of the board.

Bear Bryant

Don’t talk too much. Don’t pop off. Don’t talk after the game until you cool off.

Bear Bryant

First there are those who are winners, and know they are winners. Then there are the losers who know they are losers. Then there are those who are not winners, but don’t know it. They’re the ones for me. They never quit trying. They’re the soul of our game.

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

I ain’t won but one. My team won the rest in spite of me.
