I have a lot of respect for tough coaches.

I'm very good friends with my former coaches. We speak on the phone a lot.

For me, a quarterback's best friend, especially a young quarterback's best friend, is a coach who believes in him.

I feel like I've been very blessed to have some great mentors through the years, starting with Don James, who was my college coach, who really inspired me to want to be a coach, which is not something that I really had in mind.

I've been so blessed to play for the greatest coach at a time when our organization has done incredible things. I've played with the best teammates. Playing for Mr. Kraft and what his influence on the team has been.

I believe this with all my heart: The greatest coach of all time in my eyes is my mom. She's instilled in me a toughness and a perseverance and just a never-quit mentality, and I thank her every day for providing me, for what she sacrificed her life for.

The best thing you can say about any coach is his players play hard for him.

My family has always been there to support me along the way. My coach, John Nicks, is a great influence.

I've always been privileged to play for Coach Belichick, who I've always said is the best coach in the history of the league.

People respected my experience, they hire me, they pay me what I am worth to coach their team.
