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'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
It's a lot easier to lose than it is to win. It's easier, but it's not more comfortable.
