1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: All right, thank you. Well, kind of follow a couple

2
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: of things from yesterday. You know, as I said, it

3
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: was obviously very disappointing season all the way around, players, coaches, staff, organization.

4
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 2: You know, everybody's not.

5
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: Not anywhere close to what our standard and expectations are.

6
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 2: So, you know, obviously things that need to be fixed.

7
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: Proud of the way the players in the team competed,

8
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 1: but not not the results obviously from any of us,

9
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: you know, start with me, and you know, all the

10
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: way down in everybody else that was involved in I

11
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: know we all feel the same way. So I'm in

12
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: our contract do what I always do, which is, you know,

13
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: every day I come in work as hard as I

14
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: can to help the team in whatever way I can.

15
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 2: So that's what I'm gonna needed to do. And you know,

16
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 2: today was kind of the wrap up date for us

17
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 2: with the players.

18
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: We'll have a meeting with them and and.

19
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:12,839
Speaker 2: And then go from there.

20
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: So as far as any you know, decisions or direction

21
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: or anything like that for next year is you know,

22
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: way too early for that end of the year processes.

23
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: You know, I don't think we'll be fundamentally any different

24
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: from a you know, the standpoint of how it's done.

25
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: The decisions, that's a whole other conversation, but how it's done,

26
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: you know, meeting with Robert, like I always do, meet

27
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: with the staff personnel department, kind of recap the season,

28
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: look at the big picture and then look at some

29
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: of the individual situations that are you know, looming one

30
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: way or another. So but that's you know, obviously a

31
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: long a long way off from where we are right now.

32
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: And so we'll start, you know, at the end of

33
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: the day putting the pieces back together in terms of

34
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: you know, setting things up to go through a you know,

35
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: a good detailed analysis and.

36
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 2: To kind of you know, start a reconstruction. If you will.

37
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 3: We have more hands raised than we're gonna have time

38
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 3: for questions. I'm going to ask everyone to just ask

39
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 3: one question.

40
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 4: We'll move on to the next.

41
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,679
Speaker 3: If we get through the cycle here, we'll go back

42
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 3: to you. But in all likelihood we won't get all

43
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 3: the way through this. We're gonna start, and i'd ask

44
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 3: you to turn into cameras we ask a question, and

45
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 3: I'm gonna start with Mike Reestall by Andrew Kellyman.

46
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 4: Thank you, Stacy, Good morning, Bill. I'm curious, how do you.

47
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 5: View the Patriots' current culture as established by ownership in

48
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 5: terms of setting a coach up to succeed.

49
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: As I just said, I think we'll evaluate everything and

50
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: you don't take your course at we feel like collective lay,

51
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: I'll put us on the best half their success.

52
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,120

Speaker 2: When is that scheduled for.

56
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll leave all that out, Andrew. We you know,

57
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: might might be a series of means.

58
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 2: I don't know. We'll deal with that internally.

59
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 4: But are Chris Ryan followed by Dan road Bilt.

60
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 6: Obviously two years ago this was a playoff team and

61
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 6: appeared to be you know, ascending in your view, How

62
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 6: did the franchise.

63
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 4: You know, get to this point and what are.

64
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 7: The deficiencies that you're looking at initially to clean up

65
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 7: heading into next season?

66
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: All right, well, that's what I just talked about, Chris,

67
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: and we'll, you know, take a look at everything both, Yeah,

68
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: the current situation, the current year, and if there's a

69
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: trend or you know, whatever, we feel like we can

70
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: do uh collectively as an organization. Again, it's the same

71
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: thing we've always done, just organizationally, figure out where we're going,

72
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: what's our best best path to get there, and you know,

73
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: look at the previous results, which obviously this year weren't

74

Speaker 4: morning go.

77
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 6: Just a thought on what you were saying is how

78
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 6: much you know it one day after the season, But

79
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 6: how much do you want to be here to fix this?

80
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 6: And you often talked about your passion for coaching still

81
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 6: being there. How much does that all factor into you

82
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 6: just you know, want to get this right here in

83
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 6: New England after the year that you guys just had.

84
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, Dan, I just open with that, and I'm

85
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: gonna do everything I can every day to do the

86
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: best I can to help our football team. That's what

87
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: I've always done. It's never been any different from me

88
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: in my career. Learned that lesson from my dad growing up.

89
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: You work for the team that you're working for and

90
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: do the best you can for till somebody tells you different.

91
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: So that's not going to change.

92

00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 8: Okay, Bill, good morning, wondering if you've given any serious

95
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 8: thoughts of relinquishing the personnel, maybe some of the draft

96
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 8: responsibilities and coaching the team, which you were saying yesterday,

97
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 8: is something you still really want to do.

98
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking for whatever.

99
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: You know, collectively we decide as an organization is the

100
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: best thing to help our football team. And you know,

101
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: I have multiple roles in that, and I rely on

102
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 1: a lot of people to help me in those uh,

103
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: in those responsibilities. Somebody's got out of the final say

104
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: I have. I rely on a lot of other people

105
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: to help And you know, however that whatever that process is,

106
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 1: you know I'm only part of it.

115
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 9: the season now over, I'm just wondering if you could

116
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 9: offer an updated assessment of Mac Jones and whether.

117
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 10: You know you think he can be a starting quarterback

118
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 10: in this league.

119
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, as I said, we'll go through you our off

120
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 1: season evaluations and all that.

121
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 2: Right now.

122
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: You know it's less than twenty four hours after the

123
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: Jets game, and you know that's where all my focus

124
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: was up until four o'clock yesterday.

125
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 4: Like cocks All by Tyler Bronsky, Morning Built.

126
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 11: Now that the season is over, do you have any

127
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 11: regrets about the way you assembled this team or do

128
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 11: you think the struggles were more due to to injuries

129
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 11: and bad breaks and things like that.

130
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: I think we have some things that we can build on.

131
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: I think there are some things that we need to

132
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: do to fix and change.

00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 3: Thank you pretty get in these last four questions and

161
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 3: give everybody a chance to ask one. So it's Ben

162
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 3: Bolan stil Perry.

163
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 4: Morning Bill.

164
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 7: Your handling of Mac Jones this year was pretty unusual.

165
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 7: He got benched four times and still started the next

166
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 7: week three of them, and then yesterday he was made

167
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 7: the third string quarterback. I was wondering if you could

168
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 7: explain just why the handling of Mac Jones this year.

169
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 7: Why was he getting his job back, the starting job

170
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 7: back so many times? Then why was he made third

171
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 7: string yesterday.

172
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I just look, we've talked about it, but

173
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: I wouldn't characterize it anywhere close to the way you have.

174
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: We've covered that before, so we'll deal with everything else

175
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: going forward.

176
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 4: Perry, followed by Duke Kiss de grion, Bill, are you there?

177
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 3: I'm back to Phil, Duke Kist de grio, and followed

178
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 3: by Michael Hurley.

179
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 4: Good morning, Bill. Just to follow up on that personnel question.

180
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 4: If Robert came to you and said I just want

181
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 4: you to coach the football team, would you be okay

182
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 4: with that?

183
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 2: Yeah? I just answered that question.

184
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 3: Dude, Michael Hurley, and then give Phil Perry another chance.

185
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 4: Hey, Bill, I know you're asked something similar. But when

186
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,599
Speaker 4: you go back to April.

187
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 10: May June Headentory trein camp, did you think this team,

188
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 10: as constructed with the roster and the coaching staff, was

189
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 10: built to contend for a playoff spot and maybe a championship.

190
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 2: Yeah.

191
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: Well, the moves that we made, you know, given the

192
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: options that we had, felt like we do it was

193
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: best for the football team each time. Obviously the results

194
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: aren't aren't good. Some of those things were I think positive.

195
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: Some of them didn't work out as well as we

196
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 1: hope they would know. And there were other circumstances and

197
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 1: in some of the other decisions as well.

198
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 2: So we'll go back and look at all of them and.

199
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: You know, and again look forward to you know, working

200
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: towards ah, you know, solutions and things that don't prove our.

201
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:43,599
Speaker 4: Team, don't perry. Check your audio again.

202
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:51,760

Speaker 2: Well.

205
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 10: I just wanted to clarify something with you. There's been

206
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 10: a lot of reporting that that you and Robert have

207
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 10: not met in the course of the season. Is that true?

208
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 10: Is it just that you haven't met to talk about

209
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 10: your future? How frequently art have you guys been in

210
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 10: communication over the course of the season. We've met there

211
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 10: in the season, and have they given the public nature

212
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 10: of the discussion around the team and you specifically, so.

213
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: We don't understand what's a answited question.

214
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 10: Just wondering if he's given you any indications about your future,

215
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 10: because there's been so much discussion about it.

216
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 2: Bill, Yeah, I'd answer that question three times.

217
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 4: Philank you coach. Thanks everyone,
