I'm guessing the interviews were mostly about DEI and not about football. It's not surprising the candidates ended the interviews and passed on the Patriots.
They did, he wasn’t a surprise. It wasn’t a football decision. In my opinion the reason the Patriots struggled since Brady wasn’t a Bill problem. It was Kraft bringing in a new era of a participation culture, NOT hard work, sacrifice, and winning. Instead Wokeness was traded for AFC championships and Super Bowl wins
Kraft might want both but he can’t have both so he made his choice. Now if he fires his head coach he will be racists. He should have kept it about football and winning and kept the racists out of his organization
He went 54-45 at Tennessee. Having Henry helped. His last two years 7-10, 6-11. I’m not saying he’s terrible. But I rather a more offensive mind coach that can move the ball and score more than 20 points.
John Madden, one of the greatest NFL “minds” of all time, famously said, “if I had to build a winning franchise with one player, I would start with guard John Hannah.” Are you listening, Eliot Wolf? We paying patrons are.
Kraft has to KNOW Mayo sold him a bridge, and the concept of Vrabel getting the Jets will eat Mayo's lunch 2x a year. The story about Mayo swinging an imaginary baseball bat and in team meetings with BB while they were all sweating it out tells you all you need to know about Mayo - and I nailed it months ago - Mayo KNEW he got the job and then strutted around, 'goal achieved' instead of "WOW....NOW the real work begins". Did he make notes on how BB was doing things well? Which processes to stop/improve/continue? Did he make connections in the league to put a staff together? Did Mayo review film to learn other positions to caoch? The answers to all of these are apparent. Mayo sold Kraft and now you can't back up the sell - he oversold and underdelivered. There is a danger of getting a false positive; Mayo with a stud QB and top draft class....winning more does not = Mayo is good or better coach. Mayo has no ceiling to speak of, he simply cannot 'teach the teachers' , manage a roster, evaluate talent (if he did, then he would have told Wolf to get him different bodies on the line), and the absolute only thing that Mayo is supposed to know is defense and his 1 spot, LB coach....and they are AWFUL. RIP Mayo - the more he talks, the more he charms while the team sucks. Sell someone else. Cut Mayo and see that there is NO line for him as a HC or DC. Why keep that here? I've noticed players taking plays off, appearing 'gassed', and on multiple occasionas walking away when Mayo is talking to them. RIP RIP RIP. The Pats did not have the talent in house to do this lame/half-way measure and annoint a successor.
He was prematurely promoted, was never DC, never designed or called defense plays, never coached other positions or other coaches. DEI failure plain to see. Robert Kraft whiffed but may be too proud to admit error.
The super conservative coaching approach this season is all I need to see regarding this coaching staff. Early coaching decisions shape the way your team approaches the game and playing not to lose is no longer the NFL recipe for success.
Anyone calling for a coach to be fired after one season of a rebuild year is just emotional. A coach needs at least three years if it a full rebuild. Everyone needs to chill out. There playing well for the very limited talent roster, and Maye is performing perfectly fine for a first year QB. This team was expected to be the worst, and we clearly aren't. Next year will be his big test because he will have some solid draft picks, and a lot of money to get talent.
Mayo’s job is secure as per the report that came out last week. If he gets fired, I’ll eat my words, but if not, then you all will have the biggest egg on your face.
In what world is losing your best outside pass rusher and MLB who coordinates the entire defense on the field, plus missing/getting shells of the versions of the guys you're expecting to anchor the first and third levels of your interior defense "not having a drop off in defensive personnel"? Better health alone from Barmore, Bentley, and Dugger next year will improve the defense significantly. I'd like to see them convert Jon Jones to the McCourtey role, add depth/maybe CB2 if Alex Austin doesn't pan out, and add pass rush, and this defense could be very good again.
Mayo had a 5 years of coaching experience in Pats, two as asst. HC, anointed as heir. He had a run up on the job that nobody gets. He was Collaborator in Waiting. And only sentimentality would keep Kraft from seeing that he is not competent and should go.
I've seen enough and want a new coach next season. They keep this unqualified dum dum around and let someone like Vrabel slip away I'm gonna be pissed.
Mayo is not going anywhere, that would be an admission of guilt by the Kraft's after the hasty hiring of Mayo. Sadly in my opinion it was an emotional hiring. And in my opinion the organization would have been much better served to hire Vrabel.
If anyone saw Mayo's introductory press conference, I guarantee those OC interviews were Mayo talking about race, r*cism, politics, developing women, and other Optum-programmed woke talking points. And the coaches being interviewed who just want to win football games ran for the hills.
They quarterbacks last year that the Pats faced were backups. The defense hasn't been the same since the yr after Brady left. Macs rookie season was the last year we were actually any good on Defense!
What's this? Boston sports media completely making up a storyline with absolutely no evidence or basis in fact whatsoever then presenting it as fact so they can have something to talk about!? Nah, couldn't be. Such ridiculous bullsh*t. Mayo and AVP turned a rookie QB with little experience and the worst footwork of any QB in the draft into a complete stud. That was their one job and they knocked it out of the park. Beyond that, they took an inherited roster of sub-par offensive talent, the worst o-line in the league, and exactly zero depth and has them fighting to the last play. Nobody expected anything from this team this year, yet now Mayo and AVP have this team of future plumbers and perennial back-ups playing so well, you all are actually upset we're not getting wins. Every game since Drake took over, except one, would be in the win column if we got one fewer holding call, or one more goal-line catch, or one 4th down stop. Bunch o'friggin' idiots. Rebuilds take time. Years, usually, but somehowMayo's got this team on track WAY ahead of schedule. Still you friggin' geniuses are out here calling for his head. It's unbelievable! How many of you mush-minds wanted Belichick fired after his first season too?? He went 5-11, you know, and he had Drew fuggin' Bledsoe and Ben Coates!!! Mayo's a keeper. AVP's a keeper. Covington not so much. Next year's gonna be special, and I'll be here to remind y'all what complete idiots you were at the start. Smdh
@14:00 People are so dumb. Obviously of all that was the case last year, they would’ve been be a much better team. But every other team is also changing so I don’t see why anyone in power would think if we make minor tweaks we’d be much better when it was obvious to most people that they needed a lot more than minor tweaks and better qb play
This is undeniably a more entertaining team than last year even if it’s just cause of maye. Big step forward for fans in that we finally have something to look towards
Sifting through the weeds it seems that Mayo, Groh and Covington gotta go. If it was possible I'd hire Ben Johnson HC, Vrabel or Flores DC and find competent scouting to replace Groh
Look, the players are sub par. There is no defense. I think that’s Covington, should have kept him at DLine and brought in a more experienced DC. Offense is progressing- wouldn’t change the coaching there. Oline is horrible. What can you expect from all this. It’s just a bad team. And I think it was crazy that they thought Bill was the problem. They didn’t need Bill out of the building; they just need him out of the draft room.
Its crazy that pol really want vrabel and mayo an him is the same person defensive minded players and on another note why hire mayo from the jump if u was gonna let him go after a yr smh like he had a roster to make things work just sad business
He sucks let him go. We couldn’t even have a legit interview for new OCs without them seeing the joke that is the Patriots front office. Good job Robert. Jacoby wasn’t an upgrade at all. I will say he wasn’t a turnover machine but that’s because he wasn’t trying to lose his job that he never should’ve had. How can you Robert Kraft really think Jerod Mayo would be an upgrade over Bill Belichick? That’s how screwed up Robert is, it must be his age it has to be
It’s not coaching. The problem has always been Bob Kraft being cheap. Not going hard after quality free agents. It’s the same story year after year. Maye needs weapons & a good offensive line. Kraft has to open his wallet. Instead he’ll blame the coaches & use them as scapegoats
Kraft won’t ax his first black coach. If he wouldn’t have made it about skin color then sure he might because the decision would be about winning. But he didn’t make it about football. Kraft and other NFL owners have made their teams about just participation and wokeness. And sadly made it about that too. It’s a total team killer to be racist
Why Bedard? You really can't help but to try to build up bs just because your hurt about Mayo being the coach! I can't wait til we're in the Playoffs next yr and you can't continue to down play the coaching staff
May-O is not throwing interceptions at key points in the game. May-E is the problem. The guy is a bust. How many years are you guys going to be in denial? He will never score more than 20 points a game.
Because he laying on his ass because of the Oline. Not sure what your watching but that kid is going to be real good if they ever fix the Oline and get some real WRs,
Greg swears he could coach them to the playoffs. Guy is Mike Lombardi arrogant. Also the obsession this fanbase has with Vrabel shows how uneducated people are.
I bet they get thier asses kicked last 4 games. I feel bad for Maye with this shit show. Hire a damn offensive coach and get a Oline. And no Vrabel . Patriots fans are tired of slow boring football. Also I don’t believe anything Bedard says.
Who made the decision to draft Mac Jones and not even get a reasonable backup NFL QB after cutting Cam Newton? Who put together the rest of this lousy roster?
lets pretend kraft isnt ultra emotional and needs everyone to be family
If that is the case, then I wish him the best of luck with finding a new job.
Predicted 3-14 and I stand confident in my prediction.
no way they are winning another game this season
I'm guessing the interviews were mostly about DEI and not about football. It's not surprising the candidates ended the interviews and passed on the Patriots.
Why the hell didn’t they look into Mayo’s behavior under Bill BEFORE hiring him as head coach???
Lack of caring
They did, he wasn’t a surprise. It wasn’t a football decision. In my opinion the reason the Patriots struggled since Brady wasn’t a Bill problem. It was Kraft bringing in a new era of a participation culture, NOT hard work, sacrifice, and winning. Instead Wokeness was traded for AFC championships and Super Bowl wins
Kraft might want both but he can’t have both so he made his choice. Now if he fires his head coach he will be racists. He should have kept it about football and winning and kept the racists out of his organization
Stop screwing around fire mayo
Its only one year lets see what they do to get maye a line and wrs i think mayo is fine for another 2 seasons
They need to be talking with verabel right now.
Would Vrabel have been a better choice at head coach? This is the question that I keep asking myself…
He’s on the brown staff how’s that working out. He also went 6-11 last year in a garbage division with a top 5 penalized team. Also got his GM fired.
Nope
No he did nothing with better
Vrabel is a proven coach one of the best available. I’d fire Mayo and hire Vrabel the day after the end of the regular season
He went 54-45 at Tennessee. Having Henry helped. His last two years 7-10, 6-11. I’m not saying he’s terrible. But I rather a more offensive mind coach that can move the ball and score more than 20 points.
Definitely gonna be salty if we move from 3rd pick to win a couple pointless games

“Mayo dumped on the offense”
Yea, the offense sucked last year
Yeah but the Defense wasn’t good because of JFraud
Great questions by Mike
Wolf & Groh are the ones that really need to go. Mayo sucks but the rot starts with them
Mayo's not going anywhere. The Krafts knew the Patriots were going to stink this year. Mayo will be given 3 years.

Hello from Tokyo. Best to my family and friends stateside! Happy Holidays to all in Beantown! 👍🏻🐻🏒🏒🏒

Kind of bugs me that someone can have a job talking Patriot's sports and not know who the backup QB is for one of the patriots biggest opponents.
They need to fire Mayo, he sucks. Its the same mistakes every week. Kraft is a senile old man, he shouldn't even be making these kind of decisions.
Fire Mayo. Fire Wolf.
Patriots fans should boycott the last home game to let it be known they want Mayo fired. If only 20k showed up the Krafts would get the message .
I've seen enough and want a new coach next season. They keep this unqualified dum dum around and let someone like Vrabel slip away I'm gonna be pissed.

Don’t fire anyone yet, it’s not even one season. It’s not like we are losing 45-3 every game
Hire Dr Franchi from Boston Prolotherapy as HC
