OT: Patriots fire coach Mayo

The Jets were interviewing Rex Ryan. Let the Patriots hire him.
 
Mayo was put in an impossible situation. Inexperienced. Inexperienced assistants. Inexperienced GM. Very weak talent. What else did Kraft think was going to happen? Kraft should fire himself for doing all that.

What were his qualifications to be head coach? He was an inside linebackers coach.

You never wanna be the coach that replaces a legend you wanna be the coach that replaces the coach that replaced a legend. You would think there’s already some verbal agreement with Vrabel already.

He wasn’t ready but that’s not really true either. He designed the defensive game plans. Bill didn’t name a DC but Mayo and Steve B shared that job. Mayo designed the game plans and Steve called the plays in game.

Definitely needed to move on. Can’t waste Drake Maye’s rookie contract. Mayo was good for a gaffe or two every time he spoke. Just seemed unprofessional, the whole team seemed unprofessional. The defense got worse almost every week. It’s like they coached all the good traits out of them. No in game adjustments. They can do much better.

No because Ben Johnson is reportedly interested. Rooney rule means Flores will get an interview as well.

He’s not wrong. It was an awful hire and the guys that were hired to bring in the “talent” were even worse. Time to bring in some adults. Kraft has lost a LOT off his fastball. He and Jerry Jones are giving case studies on how to destroy franchise value.

Belichick ran the defense.

Well Bill said otherwise. Bill actually had to spend a lot of time on offense. But it's a moot point. Mayo wasn't ready, however big the jump was or wasn't. He hadn't been involved in all phases or in dealing with the media.

Short List
Vrabel
Johnson
Flores
Coen

That's the short list, but they'll need another diverse interview to go with Flores. So maybe Vance Joseph or Aaron Glenn. Joe Brady could get consideration as well.
 
I predict Mayo will never get another HC job. He was that bad. And winning yesterday cinched it.
 
I like it. NE is on the road back to credibility now with Vrabel and Maye. They need to do well in free agency and the draft, but could be a 7 or 8 win team next season.
