Something goes wrong, I yell at them -'Fix it'- whether it's their fault or not. You can only really yell at the players you trust.

You lose with potential. You win with performance.
Bill Parcells

All you have to do is play better than the other guy and things go well. If you don't play better than the other players then somebody takes your place. Now a lot of guys, in this day and time with the transient nature of the sport, as soon as the competition gets too good, they want out.

I love the game. I think it's a great game because you find out a lot about yourself. You test your mettle every week. There's no grey area, there's instant gratification and there are no quarterly reports. We're not just doing a little bit better. You know every Sunday what happened.

I just try to do the best job I possibly can - put the blinders on, go to work and be the best you can possibly be. Once you have done everything that you possibly can - you've put forth your greatest effort - then I can live with whatever's next.
Bill Parcells
Image
I'll call somebody 'dumb' or 'stupid' if they make a dumb or stupid play. I don't know any other word for it, and if they don't like the word, that's too bad.
Bill Parcells
Image
I like linebackers. I collect 'em. You can't have too many good ones.
Bill Parcells
Image
I don't have to make examples out of players to establish my own place. I don't feel like I have to.
Bill Parcells
Image
You get too old to lose. When you were a young guy, you bounced back from losses.
Bill Parcells

I've been around enough to know what it takes to get a team to reach its potential, and I want players who want to reach their potential.
