More quotes by Bill Parcells
We're not playing solitaire out here.
Bill Parcells
I think there are a lot of good people, a lot of good football guys in the NFL.
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.
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

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
You can easily separate 'team guys' from 'me guys' by how they accept coaching. The guys that accept it are about winning
Bill Parcells

Bill Parcells
My expectations are greater than the average fan's but, I'm more realistic than the top prognosticators.
Bill Parcells
Never let the world define you as less than Great.
Bill Parcells
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.
Bill Parcells
I'm not trying to keep anybody happy.
Bill Parcells
You ask yourself, 'What do you want your legacy to be?' I'm content at this point to say, 'Those who follow me.' Romeo Crennel, Bill Belichick, Sean Payton, to name a few. I think I've got a pretty good group, so far.
Bill Parcells
A team divided against itself can break down at any moment. The least bit of pressure or adversity will crack it apart
