“To all the players: I truly love and appreciate all of you. The character of the men in the locker room made coaching you an ultimate privilege. Through all the ups and downs, you all showed up every day and attacked every moment.
“It was an honor for my fellow coaches and staff to work with all of you. You were all “all in” and made sacrifices for each other that will never be forgotten. I wish you all the best of luck for the rest of the season.
“To the most passionate fan base in the NFL, thank you for embracing my family. It was a pleasure to call New York our home and we will forever treasure all the memories created here. With love and respect, all gas, no brakes!!!’
