More quotes by 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.
Bill Parcells

Some guys are just very, very interested in their sport and their predecessors. I know I was a guy like that when I was a young coach. I wanted to know about George Halas, I wanted to know about Jim Lee Howell, guys you don't even know. I wanted to know what they were like. So I read whatever I could get my hands on.

Bill Parcells
You can't dream up confidence. Confidence is born of demonstrated ability.
Bill Parcells
You lose with potential. You win with performance.
Bill Parcells
Confidence is only born out of one thing demonstrated ability. It is not born of anything else. You cannot dream up confidence. You cannot fabricate it. You cannot wish it. You have to accomplish it.
Bill Parcells
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
I think there are a lot of good people, a lot of good football guys in the NFL.
Bill Parcells
I only want my team to play to its potential, as I perceive it to be. I really don't have any regard for anyone else's perception.
Bill Parcells
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.
Bill Parcells
Why would you live your life worrying about something that's not going to happen?
