Nick and The Bear

"What happened yesterday is history. What happens tomorrow is a mystery. What we do today makes a difference - the precious present moment."

~Nick Saban~

"Losing doesn't make me want to quit. It makes me want to fight that much harder."

~Bear Bryant~

"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 always want my players to show class, knock'em down, pat on the back, and run back to the huddle."

~Bear Bryant~

"If you believe in yourself and have dedication and pride - and never quit, you'll be a winner. The price of victory is high but so are the rewards."

~Bear Bryant~

"Losing doesn't make me want to quit. It makes me want to fight that much harder." ~Bear Bryant~

“The formula for success is every guy can make a difference for the entire team in whatever his role is. And to do it right, to get it right, is a critical factor in being successful."

~Nick Saban~

"It’s awfully important to win with humility. It’s also important to lose. I hate to lose worse than anyone, but if you never lose you won’t know how to act. If you lose with humility, then you can come back."                                                    ~Bear Bryant~ If anything goes bad, I did it. If anything goes semi-good, we did it. If anything goes  really good, then you did it. That's all it takes to get people to win games for you. ~Bear Bryant~ "In life, you'll have your back up against the wall many times. You might as well get used to it." ~Bear Bryant~ Set goals - high goals for you and your organization. When your organization has a goal to shoot for, you create teamwork, people working for a common good. ~Bear Bryant~  "If 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 Bryant~ "If you want to walk the heavenly streets of gold, you gotta know the password,  Roll, tide, roll!" ~Bear Bryant~ “It doesn’t matter what you are ranked until the end” ~Nick Saban~
