More quotes by Bill Parcells

Bill Parcells
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
Knowledge is confidence. And confidence lets you play fast.

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
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
The thing I really look for in this business is there are guys who are into football and there are guys who are in the profession for other reasons.
Bill Parcells
You get too old to lose. When you were a young guy, you bounced back from losses.
