I’m a football coach. I’m not a doctor … They don’t call plays, I don’t do surgeries. We have a great deal here.

I feel like I’ve had a strong relationship with Robert [Kraft] and his family since I was here in 1996 and I think it’s gotten stronger every year that I’ve been here with the Patriots.
