“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 football games for you.”
Paul W. Bryant, Bear Bryant on Winning Football

“Tell me what you expect from me.
Winning team members need to know five things:

1. Tell me what you expect from me.
2. Give me an opportunity to perform.
3. Let me know how I'm getting along.
4. Give me guidance where I need it.
5. Reward me according to my contribution.”
Paul W. Bryant, Bear Bryant on Winning Football

“I don’t hire anybody not brighter than I am. If they’re not brighter than I am, I don’t need them.”
