Photos: Dante Scarnecchia’s 34-Year Coaching Career with the Patriots 

Patriots offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia announced his retirement on Tuesday, ending a spectacular 36-year NFL coaching career, in which he spent 34 of those seasons with the Patriots (1982-88, 1991-2013, 2016-19). Scarnecchia, whose entire career spanned five decades (1970-2019), helped lead New England to five Super Bowl championships.
