You have to learn what makes this or that Sammy run. For one it's a pat on the back, for another it's eating him out, for still another it's a fatherly talk, or something else. You're a fool if you think as I did as a young coach, that you can treat them all alike.

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

If it is worth playing, it is worth paying the price to win.

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

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.

When you win, there's glory enough for everybody. When you lose, there's glory for none.

Don't talk too much or too soon.
