Bear Bryant Boys Quotations

There's no use fussing on a boy who doesn't have any ability.

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.

There is no sin in not liking to play; it's a mistake for a boy to be there if he doesn't want to.

Sacrifice. Work. Self-discipline. I teach these things, and my boys don't forget them when they leave.

I don't care how much talent a team has - if the boys don't think tough, practice tough, and live tough, how they play tough on Saturday.
