Why would you live your life worrying about something that's not going to happen?

It's a lot easier to lose than it is to win. It's easier, but it's not more comfortable.

Anybody who watched football last year knows they're good. But that represents a very good opportunity for us. It really does. I think somehow, if we're able to pull that off, I think it will go a long way for our confidence. I look at it as a great opportunity, and hopefully we'll be at our best when we get there.

My expectations are greater than the average fan's but, I'm more realistic than the top prognosticators.

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.

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.

Resourceful coaches strive to have more ways to win than the other team.
Bill Parcells
Image
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.
Bill Parcells
Image
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.

Accept false steps as opportunities to learn. It's one thing to hate failure, it's another to fear it.

Image
The quarterback is in charge of the chuck wagon. He's handing it out here and there, but he can't just throw it out there indiscriminately or the wolves will get him.
Bill Parcells
Image
In the end, I've found, people like the direct approach. It's much more valuable to them to have a leader who's absolutely clear and open than to have one who soft-soaps or talks in circles.

You lose with potential. You win with performance.

I'm trying to keep my own house from burning down. I can't worry about someone else's house.

Losers assemble in small groups & complain, winners assemble as a team & find ways to win.
