More quotes by Bill Parcells
I have always felt like you really don't have a genuine confidence unless you demonstrate the ability to do something. You can talk about it, but you have to demonstrate it.
Bill Parcells
I'm not trying to keep anybody happy.
Bill Parcells
When I was coaching with the Patriots, the players pulled a practical joke and I said, 'Do you think I'm Charlie the Tuna, like a sucker?' After that, they called me Tuna.
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

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
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
If you got anything to you at all as an athlete and a competitor, you don't care what the circumstances are. You still got competition.
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 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
Resourceful coaches strive to have more ways to win than the other team.
Bill Parcells
You get too old to lose. When you were a young guy, you bounced back from losses.
Bill Parcells
I don't look at a problem and put variables in there that don't affect it.
Bill Parcells
You can't dream up confidence. Confidence is born of demonstrated ability.
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
What sets disciplined people apart? - The capacity to get past distractions. Focus on the task at hand.
Bill Parcells
It's a lot easier to lose than it is to win. It's easier, but it's not more comfortable.
Bill Parcells
The media dwells mostly on negativity.
