If anything goes bad, I did it. If anything goes semi-good, then we did it. If anything goes real good, then you did it. That's all it takes to get people to win football games.
Bear Bryant's Three Rules for coaching: 1) Surround yourself with people who can't live without football. 2) Recognize winners. They come In all forms. 3) Have a plan for everything.
I'm no genius, but I'm a damn good football coach.
If you want to coach you have three rules to follow to win. One, surround yourself with people who can't live without football. I've had a lot of them. Two, be able to recognize winners. They come in all forms. And, three, have a plan for everything. A plan for practice, a plan for the game. A plan for being ahead, and a plan for being behind 20-0 at half, with your quarterback hurt and the phones dead, with it raining cats and dogs and no rain gear because the equipment man left it at home.
One man doesn't make a team. It takes eleven.
If you don't have discipline, you can't have a successful program.
They say I teach brutal football, but the only thing brutal about football is losing.
When you win, there's glory enough for everybody. When you lose, there's glory for none.
Winning isn't imperative, but getting tougher in the fourth quarter is.
Football changes and so do people.
Hell, no! A tie is like kissing your sister!
Football games are generally won by the boys with the greatest desire.
Here's a twenty, bury two.
People who are in it for their own good are individualists. They don't share the same heartbeat that makes a team so great. A great unit, whether it be football or any organization, shares the same heartbeat.
