I'll never give up on a player regardless of his ability as long as he never gives up on himself. In time he will develop.

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

I plan on staying at Alabama for the rest of my career. I guarantee that I'll be here for you through it all, regardless of what happens.

I've made so many mistakes that if I don't make the same mistakes over, we're going to come pretty close to winning.

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.

Don't overwork your squad. If you're going to make a mistake, under-work them.

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.
