More quotes by 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.
Bill Parcells
Success is never final, but failure can be.
Bill Parcells
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.
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 look at a problem and put variables in there that don't affect it.
Bill Parcells
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
You can't dream up confidence. Confidence is born of demonstrated ability.
Bill Parcells

Bill Parcells
Accept false steps as opportunities to learn. It's one thing to hate failure, it's another to fear it.
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
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
Creatures of similar plumages habitually congregate in places of closest proximity.
Bill Parcells
When you don't know that you don't know, it's a lot different than when you do know that you don't know.
Bill Parcells
I'm not trying to keep anybody happy.
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
If the players don't trust the coach, it is a problem, and vice versa.
Bill Parcells
