00:03 Robert and I, after a series of discussions,

00:09 have mutually agreed to part ways.

00:13 And for me, this is a day of gratitude and celebration.

00:19 Start with Robert and his family.

00:22 It's great.

00:23 So much thanks for the opportunity

00:24 to be a coach here for 24 years.

00:28 It's an amazing opportunity.

00:30 Received tremendous support.

00:32 We had a vision of building a winner,

00:34 building a championship football team here.

00:36 And that's exceeded my wildest dreams and expectations.

00:42 The amount of success that we were able to achieve together

00:46 through a lot of hard work and contributions

00:48 of so many people.

00:50 So I'm very proud of that.

00:52 And I'll always have those great memories.

00:55 I'll carry those with me the rest of my life.

00:58 And of course, a great deal of thanks and appreciation

01:00 to the players.

01:01 Players win games in the NFL.

01:03 And I've been very, very fortunate to coach

01:05 some of the greatest players that I've ever played.

01:07 Some of the greatest players I've ever

01:09 played for the Patriots.

01:10 Some of them are already in the Hall of Fame.

01:12 Many more are going.

01:14 But again, regardless of how long any of the players

01:16 weren't here, what their role was,

01:18 or how many games they played, or even if they

01:21 didn't win championships, I respect the way

01:24 the players come to work here on a daily basis.

01:27 All of them.

01:27 And I've coached well over 1,000.

01:32 Like a good marriage, a successful head coach-owner

01:36 relationship requires a lot of hard work.

01:41 And I'm very proud that our partnership

01:44 lasted for 24 years.

01:46 I thank Coach Bill for his hard work and dedication.

01:52 It'll be difficult to see him in a cut-off hoodie

01:55 on the sideline.

01:58 But I will always continue to wish him continued success,

02:03 except when he's playing our beloved Patriots.

02:08 So I thank you all for coming here today

02:13 and being part of this celebration.

02:18 Thank you.
