"If we'd beaten 'em, I wouldn't be going out." — Bear Bryant

There's no use fussing on a boy who doesn't have any ability.

I'm happy with the coach we have. I think any one of the ones I asked them to consider would've been good.

I want to make sure I don't interfere with the success of that team next year. I don't see any way I could go to practice like most of 'em do, and not hurt the team. I'd go nuts if I tried doing that.

I think I'm telling the truth. I sat by Ray Perkins at the Hall of Fame dinner in New York, and at that time he didn't know he was our coach and I didn't either.
