Mama wanted me to be a preacher.

I told her coachin' and preachin'

Were a lot alike.
- Coach Paul Bryant

The old lessons (work, self-discipline,

Sacrifice, teamwork, fighting to achieve)

Aren’t being taught by many people other

Than football coaches these days.

The football coach has a captive audience

And can teach these lessons because the

Communication lines between himself and

His players are more wide open than between

Kids and parents.

We better teach these lessons or else the

Country’s future population will be made up

Of a majority of crooks, drug addicts,

Or people on relief.
- Coach Paul Bryant

I have tried to teach them to show class,

To have pride, and to display character.

I think football, winning games,

Takes care of itself if you do that.
- Coach Paul Bryant
