""Jerod's a great guy, but I just didn't want to go through a continuation of what happened.""
""The one thing that my family and I understand is that we own this team, but it's not like a traditional business," Kraft explained. "I look at our family as custodians of a public asset.""
""I'm very fond of Jerod. I would say that was one of the one or two hardest decisions," Kraft said."
""It was very expensive, because it was not only [Mayo's] contract but 25 other coaches - so it was the worst fin"
Robert Kraft, 84, describes Patriots ownership as "living my dream" and frames the ownership role as custodial responsibility toward fans and the community. New England recorded its first postseason win at Gillette Stadium since Super Bowl LIII and advanced to the AFC divisional round after a 14-3 regular season turnaround. Jerod Mayo, promoted after Belichick's exit, was fired after one season following a 4-13 year. Kraft expressed fondness for Mayo, called the decision among the hardest, and noted the move and staff separations were financially significant. Kraft praised the crowd as a real asset to the team.
