What happened during our time here together for the nine years was special. … A lot of things came together, the alignment of a lot of things: ownership, coaching, players and all the other people, It’s inevitable that things are going to change. I’m not sure why Patriots fans are disillusioned at different times, because they’re gong to be in the hunt every year. They still have great ownership, they still have the best coach in the NFL and there’s a lot of good people there that are finding players. It’s still a special place. Don’t worry, Patriots fans.
