00:03 - Very, very emotional send off after 24 years

00:06 and six Super Bowl championships for Bill and Bob Kraft.

00:09 Here's Belichick.

00:11 - You know, there's so many memories of the fans,

00:13 the send offs, the parades, the Sundays,

00:18 you know, whatever the situations are,

00:22 the letters of support, the, you know,

00:25 seeing the fans, you know, away from here,

00:26 you know, at a gas station or a grocery store,

00:29 you know, wherever you bump into them,

00:31 Patriot fans here and not just in New England,

00:33 but they extend nationally and even internationally

00:36 as I've traveled.

00:37 It's amazing how far the arm reaches.

00:39 We saw that this year in Germany.

00:41 So, so appreciative of the fans for all the support

00:44 they've given me, my family and this football team.

00:47 And it's with so many fond memories and thoughts

00:52 that I think about the Patriots and always be a Patriot.

00:56 I look forward to coming back here,

00:58 but at this time, you know, we're gonna,

01:02 we're gonna move on and I look forward,

01:05 I'm excited for the future,

01:07 but always very, very appreciative of the opportunity here,

01:11 the support here and, you know,

01:14 the, what Robert, what you've done for me.

01:16 - I mean, it's just, it's surreal, isn't it?

01:20 It's just absolutely crazy to think how these things

01:25 come to an end.

01:28 You have to understand,

01:29 I've been through this several times in my life

01:33 with great coaches.

01:34 I said it last week, I think Landry and Noel,

01:37 you win four Super Bowls in six years

01:40 and you fire someone like that is insanity.

01:45 It's just crazy to see it happen.

01:49 And it's, I guess, no different than any other divorce,

01:53 whether it's your friends, parents, or your life,

01:58 or your favorite coach or your favorite player,

02:03 when it ends, it's rather uncomfortable.

02:05 - It is rather uncomfortable, Scotty, there's no doubt.

02:09 And they kind of said that today too, you know,

02:11 this was, you know, they kind of likened it to a marriage

02:14 of 24 years that was ending

02:17 and he is gonna coach somewhere else.

02:19 I'm completely, I know you and Gabe

02:21 were throwing a lot of things around there

02:23 with all these guys and all these jobs that are now open.

02:26 I don't know where it's gonna be,

02:28 but he's going to be there

02:30 and it's gonna be somewhere

02:31 where he can get those last 15 wins to pass Shula.

02:34 'Cause you know that he wants that.

02:35 He ain't going anywhere until he gets the rest

02:37 of those wins that he needs

02:38 to be the all time winningest coach.
