Robert Kraft: “Doing the best we can to bring a winning team back.” | Patriots Press Conference 

Hadn't heard much from Robert Kraft prior to this. A revealing press conference. Seems like a stand-up guy. His comments are lessons in leadership in general. Not just football.

Did any Pats fan actually want to see Bill go? This is so disappointing. They just needed a GM to pick offensive players . . . that's it . . .

You can tell how hard it was to finally fire Bill Belichick. So many great years together. Anyone over the age of 40 can tell you what it was was like around Foxboro during the Victor Kiam days. Bob Kraft saved the team from going to St. Louis.

Bill coached here for 24 years. Has 3 bad seasons one of those being the Covid season where most the team sat out and you get rid of him!? The next coach only going to have 3 years to rebuild? Bill should be patriot for life and get the all time wins record as a patriot. wtf

Thanks alot bill for your service .

Thank bill for your service.

Im 31 and was put in foster care when I was 9. The only thing I had to keep me cool were my Pats, Celtics, Bruins and Red Sox but being more of a football fan I connected with the Pats more. So this whole thing is sad.

I'm a Patriots fan and i will always support the Patriots no other nfl team is better than the Patriots

You should have let Coach Belichick draft additions this year and work the upcoming season. It's like taking the remaining lego blocks away from an architect; with the third draft it was kind of important.

You really gotta appreciate Mr.Krafts honesty. I believe he’ll do exactly what’s right for the team and the fans.

My heart is heavy to see Bill go.. He will be missed but I can't want until he gets that Gold Jacket and also the Hall of Fame in the Patriots building. It's going to be a scary time without Bill since he is a bank of information great. Going to miss you Bill and we hope to see you on the field.

Your organization sir is creme of the crop; Jayden Daniels is one amazing quarterback that is open to add to the team. He performs better than a Justin Herbert. So many individuals talk so highly about the Patriots organization and that will never change... You are the best of the best... It is exciting for this upcoming season with the first few draft picks this year.... If it is not broke don't fix it; definitely, which ever direction is taken it is the example for the rest of the NFL.

Bill made a mistake pushing Brady out , it has not worked and his legacy will always be remembered as the coach who only won with Brady , period . Bill made a huge mistake and it has cost the franchise and Kraft big. No owner should have agreed to let brady go, period. A colossal mistake as the facts show,

In my years of watching NFL from 99 as an 11yr old he hasn't changed one bit and I love it! Truly amazing what he accomplished during his time in NE, whether he retires or not. What I've witnessed is incredibly special. All the best coach, god bless! I was a Titan fan up until when they fired Vrabel,final straw. My admiration has no bias. Maybe....,just maybe if he signs with Tennessee I'll give them another chance.

Get harbaugh , let him draft McCarthy and build on him !! Let’s go!!!!!

Kraft’s greatest achievement is that he didn’t get in the way for 24 years; that is it.

We just need to be a well balanced team

the only issue I have with Robert's statement is the money spending. I highly doubt Bill was given carte blanche when it came to money. i think Robert handcuffed him sometimes and forcing him to draft noodle arm Jones drove a wedge between Bill and Robert that was the final straw. The fact that Bill kept sticking Mac out on the field even though he was struggling horribly was a subtle FU to Kraft. All in all it was about as amicable as it could be given the circumstances but the awkward hug at the end of the dual press conference showed that Bill is done with Robert.

I think bill being a defensive minded head coach I feel like he prioritize the defense and special teams more than the offense When you think about it he'd never valued receivers

Great questions. Great answers. It’s easy to see that Robert didn’t WANT this to happen. But it’s a painful decision that had to be made. Both men showed their emotions and rightfully so. 24 years!! I’m almost 45. Bill got to the Patriots when I was 21. It’s almost like watching your parents get divorced. It sucks.

Three years? We wanted Mac gone not Bill. Mac was the problem not Bill. Me and my family will follow Bill. 24 years of being a fan came to an end yesterday

Waste innovations is the perfect sponsor for the 2024 patriots franchise

I honestly as a patriots fan don’t want to sound bitter, but several games were decided by flags that were questionable at best. Even the commentators were like, “I wouldn’t have called that, but I guess so.” The shield has tirelessly tried to pry Brady from belichick. Then pry belichick from Kraft. They want to spread the love of winning for other teams. Patriots got too much love, they broke the system. Good luck doing it again! The shield will push “scandals” like deflate gate.

The Patriots will wander in memory of the past....for a long time. You can't top TB nor BB, HOF both.... all clich'e's aside, it's about money, cable, season tickets, expensive suites, etc. HOF. " What's done is finished " It is as said... living in memory now for us all.. no 100 million QB will bring on ounce of success like the last 20 years,

Very concerned for the next coach and Gm. They will be the MAC Jones of the coaching world….no way they can replace who came before and will probably crumble under that pressure and lose all confidence and respect in under 3 . Hope this isn’t the case….”we need a rebuild “ someone wrote? How many coaches and years did it take the Lions to rebuild? This is un logical and Kraft sounds dumb

Who will be our new head coach now ?

What an insane move but hopefully it doesn’t comeback to haunt the team! All they needed was a better offensive coach to bring in offensive players. Bill isn’t done and hopefully he goes to the chargers. The chargers just need a coach and they’ll be eliminating the patriots from the playoffs. Even know I’m a dolphins fan and I couldn’t stand brady and bill killing my dreams as a fan I respect them both as legends…. Thank you bill, and all the rest of the patriots for providing me entertainment through the years. I have a bone disease so unfortunately I’ve never been to a nfl game however hopefully someday it be safe enough for me to go but so many times I got to watch our teams play while in pain from a fresh fracture! it always made the pain go away seeing my team lose… again…. because of Brady and bill lol I’d be so heart broken that I couldn’t feel my broken bones… Stay strong patriots fans… Cheers to more great games between Miami and New England we can’t let buffalo take the division anymore… it’s either patriots or the dolphins!!!

The Krafts have used up all their goodwill in my book. When the greatest player and greatest coach both leave on bad terms it becomes pretty clear who’s ego was the problem

If u listen to what bill said. He said something about when he comes here r something like that. He not retiring. He is going somewhere else.

"Something's not quite right" yeah, its called not having Tom Brady.

Robert Kraft, Now is the time to start getting two permanent life sized busts of Belichick & Brady out in the common area in the stadium by the pro shop. By the time those busts are made Bill will break Shulas record and ride off in the sunset...

Been a fan since '94. I was ready to move on from Belichick. That does not mean i don't appreciate Bill, or i am not a real fan. Bill's way of doing it was not working anymore. Its time for something new. I've heard ppl say its gonna get real bad without Bill here, but i definitely disagree. We won 4 games. 4. As good as our defense was our offense is straight trash. It wasnt gonna miraculously improve with Bill here. Guy does not do well drafting offense. Players dont want to come play here either. It was time to change things up. Change can be hard, but everything changes

We won’t see another Super Bowl with this family at the helm 🤷‍♂️ oh well. Should’ve never let Brady go. Should not have let Bill go. They were supposed to retire as Patriots. Set a precedent for that at least, for the best combo. We won’t see another Super Bowl with this family at the helm.

Kraft forced belichick to draft mac jones.....belichick started jones to show kraft what he wanted.....how did that work out for you kraft.....kraft is the issue for not paying talented players what the deserv, could've had hopkins, let devante adams walk smh

You want a winning team, Kraft? Get an offensive line, 2 wide receivers, a running back, and most importantly, a quarterback. Your defense is pretty damn good. Especially when healthy. That'll put you in a winning spot again...

I’m not Patriots fan, but before I watch this, I just want to summarize what Mr. Kraft is gonna say. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah I suck and I come really bad because I don’t know what to do. What a mystery and end of an owner, he couldn’t see greatness in front of him too bad. They’ve been too dynasties in. Boston won the Celtics and won the New England Patriots. I am grateful that I got to watch them.

Who's here after the roast of Tom Brady?

20 years of championships and winning teams. 2 years of missing the playoffs. The bandwagon needed to go, not the goat coach.

Dante Scarnecchia's comment in Sirxius XM R. Kraft made a mistake.

Its definitely a sad day in New England, and if you dont think so, you never liked apples or turtles!!

😎👍👍

This makes me feel like i got dumped by the patriots wth?!

Nice too see a sober kraft. Shows he knows what's going on

Let’s be real guys the next guy we get won’t be better we all know that, but I don’t want to set up the new coach the way Mac was setup. Let it go

What’s needed is new ownership not a new coach - just a horrible decision by Kraft

Thank you bill

Listen growing up in the 80s I knew Larry Bird could not play forever

Kraft DEI Pander Hire!

Crazy, pats have only been a QB short of being in the post season and they “part ways”… Patriots just may find themselves in that wash rinse repeat cycle of coaches and rebuilds that their AFC East rivals have been through. Sad and terrible decision.

Mr. Kraft, what could have you done to make a winning team???? How is that for a question....

It wasn't Bill Belichick 's fault ! He had absolutely NO talent to work with basically because he had NO decent draft picks

RKK is so well spoken he is the definiton of a good owner

Bad move. Get vrable anything else is a dissapointment. Still wrong move.

In Robert I Trust , thank you Bill, for the 20 plus year dynasty but you could tell the game passed him by and that he wasn't adapting to the new generation of the NFL . i hope he gets a chance with another team ,just remember the good times we've had with Brady and Belichick and hope we can get half of that back in the coming years , the Patriots will be back and the NFL is better when the Patriots are great and we will be great again

Down with Kraft. Get away from this team. Kraft has killed it.

Im done with the Patriots and the NFL. Bill. You where the NFL. Good job

Robert Kraft screwed the pooch on this one. This team was a wr1 and a few linemen away from being a deep playoff team.

Get WR Troy Franklin

Bill has always been a firm believer in dumping players when he thought their skills started to erode, or they wanted too much money, or they'd lost a step...it's finally happened to him, that's all. It's called karma. Not saying it was the right move but it is kind of ironic.

Nick Sabin will be coach

Fire Kraft 😂

You're in luck!!! A 6 time super bowl winning coach just became availa.. ohhhh! Nevermind...

It may be a while until we see a winning team.

Kraft is going to regret this...

Truly blessed to have such an intelligent, passionate, dedicated owner. Thank you for everything you've done, Mr. Kraft!

Robert Kraft is a class act! Hope to see the New England Patriots rise again!

The thing about Robert is the fact he's such an honest guy & isn't afraid to say "I don't know". He clearly doesn't have an answer for why the team failed & he says he doesn't know why. That's why you have to change things if you're not sure why. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over & over & expecting a different result. He even gives credit to the media saying that could've probably done a better job than him.

Firing Bill isn't whats best for the team Robert. Scrap that shit QB and get real weapons on offense. Bill earned the right to pass Shula here. 😡 😔 😢 I'm so pissed right now

They need a good gm because this roster has been shit since 2018.

😊😊😊

get mike mcdaniels mr kraft.

Now how about you spend some money Robert.

Boston sucks

After all the good Bob Kraft did for the Patriots he couldn't have been more stupid in the end he should have let Bellecheck go right away when he was disrespectful to Brady Tom should have stayed and Kraft should have said bye to Bill stupid BB ib Kraft very stupid how it ended not only the as to Bill stayed 4more years and really ruined the Pats

A guy wins 6 superbowls and has lost it?

Sorry nick saban

Damn right past three years have been tough, Mac Jones was your answer

Kraft has to stop being cheap he guaranteed 163 million to 12 players in 2021 and thought he never have to spend again, Great QBs get 163 million guaranteed themselves. Kraft is cheap, ask anyone who has ever worked for him

That's not going to happen You screwed more than just the fans

Total trash move by the krafts! They just lost a 30 yr fan….. smh

This is bullshit Robert Kraft

This team is the browns now culturally. Completely bottom'd out and who would want to even be the next bill for us now? Owner doesnt spend and shits on ya after even winning 6 titles. Good riddance to this franchise.

Resign Tim Tebow

Getting rid of TB was the single dumbest move in all of Football, tarnished his own legacy. now there will always be an asterisk next to his GOAT argument..triple asterisk at that.

Kraft is too nice, because this change is overdue. It's about time... Coach B. is a great defensive coach, but he's not, and never has been, a good Head coach. He certainly understands the game as well as any coach, but so what? I see Belichick and I think of the guy in 'Office Space' who keeps yelling 'I have people skills!' when that's exactly what he doesn't have.

Bobby, go play with your granddaughter (wife) and spend more time at the 'Orchids of Asia'.

Brady leaves and BB loses more games than he wins. I wonder why!!

Thanks alot bill for your service.
