During his 25 year tenure at the University of Alabama, he was college football&#8217;s winningest coach, leading his team to six national championships. As a young man he was tough-he earned his famous nickname by volunteering to wrestle a bear at age 13 and played in a game with a partially broken leg during his time as a college player. He carried this toughness over to his coaching where he demanded excellence of his men on and off the field, and looked dapper while doing it. Losing was not an option, and sweat equity made sure of it. The inspiration he doled out applies not just to football but to the grand game of life.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9924 size-full\" title=\"bearyes\" src=\"https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/\/2010\/04\/bearyes.jpg\" alt=\"Paul bear Bryant yes men quote motivational poster.\" width=\"500\" height=\"625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/2010\/04\/bearyes.jpg 500w, https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/2010\/04\/bearyes-320x400.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9932 size-full\" title=\"bearlead\" src=\"https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/2010\/04\/bearlead.jpg\" alt=\"Paul bear Bryant leadership blame quote motivational poster.\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9928 size-full\" title=\"bearwill.\" src=\"https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/2010\/04\/bearwill..jpg\" alt=\"Paul bear Bryant will to prepare quote motivational poster.\" width=\"500\" height=\"625\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9937 size-full\" title=\"bearmento\" src=\"https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/2010\/04\/bearmento.jpg\" alt=\"Paul Bear Bryant molding men quote motivational poster.\" width=\"500\" height=\"625\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9942 size-full\" title=\"bearsweat\" src=\"https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/2010\/04\/bearsweat.jpg\" alt=\"Paul Bear Bryant blood sweat guts quote motivational poster.\" width=\"500\" height=\"625\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9927 size-full\" title=\"bearlosing\" src=\"https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/2010\/04\/bearlosing.jpg\" alt=\"Paul Bear Bryant winning losing quote motivational poster.\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\"\/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"bearpers\" src=\"https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/\/2010\/04\/bearpers.jpg\" alt=\"Paul Bear Bryant halftime winning quote motivational poster.\" width=\"500\" height=\"625\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9934 size-full\" title=\"bearprior\" src=\"https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/2010\/04\/bearprior.jpg\" alt=\"Paul Bear Bryant pride class character quote motivational poster.\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9929 size-full\" title=\"bearsimp.\" src=\"https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/2010\/04\/bearsimp..jpg\" alt=\"Paul Bear Bryant fewest possible words quote motivational poster standing on a dice.\" width=\"500\" height=\"625\"\/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"bearhide\" src=\"https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/\/2010\/04\/bearhide.jpg\" alt=\"Paul Bear Bryant crisis quote motivational poster standing crowd on background.\" width=\"500\" height=\"625\"\/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"bearwin\" src=\"https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/\/2010\/04\/bearwin.jpg\" alt=\"Paul Bear Bryant sacrifice paying price quote motivational poster team carrying him.\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9938 size-full\" title=\"bearfocus\" src=\"https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/2010\/04\/bearfocus.jpg\" alt=\"Paul Bear Bryant studying film quote motivational poster with football team.\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9941 size-full\" title=\"motivator144a5758c23704e41c3e62d169e5745e520face5\" src=\"https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/2010\/04\/motivator144a5758c23704e41c3e62d169e5745e520face51.jpg\" alt=\"Paul Bear Bryant never quit quote motivational poster.\" width=\"500\" height=\"625\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9926 size-full\" title=\"bearkissing\" src=\"https:\/\/content.artofmanliness.com\/uploads\/2010\/04\/bearkissing.jpg\" alt=\"Paul Bear Bryant tie kissing sister quote motivational poster.\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\"\/><\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nCheck out all the motivational posters from AoM:&nbsp;<\/strong><br \/>\n<a title=\"Motivational Posters: Theodore Roosevelt Edition\" href=\"https:\/\/www.artofmanliness.com\/character\/knowledge-of-men\/theodore-roosevelt-motivational-posters\/\">Theodore Roosevelt Edition<\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"Motivational Posters: George S.
