“I remember talking to Parcells,” Zolak said. “He said, ‘Tell me what you know about this Scarnecchia guy.’ I said, ‘I love him.’ He goes, ‘I’m getting that from everybody. I’m cleaning fucking house, and he’s the only guy here I need to keep.’ When Bill comes in, he does it his way with his people, cleans house, and Scar survived. It didn’t matter who he coached — tight ends, line, special teams — he moved around from position to position, and it says something for a guy who stays around that long. I always thought he was like the best special teams coach ever, and now he’s the greatest offensive line coach ever. Bill (Belichick) could make him running backs or safeties coach next year, and he’ll do just as good of a job. I think it’s a tribute to him.”
