More quotes by 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
Don't tell me about the pain. Show me the baby.
Bill Parcells
Losers assemble in small groups & complain, winners assemble as a team & find ways to win.
Bill Parcells
You get too old to lose. When you were a young guy, you bounced back from losses.
Bill Parcells
Accept false steps as opportunities to learn. It's one thing to hate failure, it's another to fear it.
Bill Parcells
The quarterback is in charge of the chuck wagon. He's handing it out here and there, but he can't just throw it out there indiscriminately or the wolves will get him.
Bill Parcells
I'd like to be somewhere near Lawrence Taylor so I can keep an eye on that sucker.

Knowledge is confidence. And confidence lets you play fast.
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
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
If the players don't trust the coach, it is a problem, and vice versa.
Bill Parcells
God's been good to me, He really has.
Bill Parcells
Success is never final, but failure can be.
Bill Parcells
I talked to the team a lot about staying power. You never find out if you have that until you've been beaten down a few times.
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
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
Why would you live your life worrying about something that's not going to happen?
Bill Parcells
You can't dream up confidence. Confidence is born of demonstrated ability.
Bill Parcells
I think there are a lot of good people, a lot of good football guys in the NFL.
Bill Parcells
The media dwells mostly on negativity.
