York: I appreciate the opportunity to speak directly to our fans. I want to thank the Faithful for sticking with us during difficult season.

York: This season was frustrating on a number of levels. We took a step backwards from our ultimate goal of winning the Super Bowl.

York on coaching change: Unfortunately, I didn’t see the team improve collectively over course of the season, which led to our decision.

York: I wish nothing but the best for Jim, Julie, and their family.

Trent Baalke will remain our GM. He understands that I’m not satisfied with the current state of the team.

Trent and his staff will have all the resources at their disposal to get us back where we belong.

York: Before we turn to 2016, we need to put 2015 behind us. I want this team to win. Nobody wants this team to win more than I do.

York on coaching candidates: We have a clear understanding of what we want. We definitely have a short list, but I won't go into details.

York on head coach search: There’s not a specific timeframe. When the time is right, we will make an announcement.
