Mayo gone

[YankeeRebel]

He never had a chance it sounds like

Seems like the succession plan was set in stone before he was fired

I agree and that was not a good plan by Kraft.

Patriots decide to part ways with Mayo.

Patriots fire HC Jerod Mayo following 4-13 first season in New England

 

[Yankee Traveler]

Rookie QB. Rookie coach. Mayo got a raw deal man.

Skippy McD went 8-8 with Kyle Orton.

 

[Yankee Traveler]

How do you know? He had multiple vet players defending him.

The lazy ass players that liked the fact that Mayo was a push over.

 

[Yankee Traveler]

Devon, christian, jebrill, Micheal. This is just off the top of my head. Cmon dude.

Remind me which one is a captain?

 

[PolarVortex]

Did you watch any Pats games this year and see his demeanor all season long? As someone said, he was way in over his head.
Also, several players on D regressed during his tenure. He lost the team early on in the season.

How many rookie head coaches with rookie QBs don't look over their head. He was set up to fail. Next season it won't be the head coach that gets thrown under the bus, it will be Mayo. But the result will be the same. 4-6 win team.

In the face of tough competition, it is true that not all elements of a game are within a coach's control. That is especially true when their roster isn't as good as the competition. However, things like not consistently committing the same penalties and same execution break downs is within the control of coaching. It is within this area I see the 2024 coaching as a failure.

Interesting takes...

Dear Robert Kraft: Patriots Diehards Share Own Message To Owner

Patriots season-ticket holders offered their own messages for owner Robert Kraft prior to the team's Week 18 win and firing of Jerod Mayo.

Does anybody know, did Kraft pick Mayo to succeed Belichick, or did Belichick pick his own successor?

I've heard it both ways recently.

My theory was that Kraft picked him and this caused angst for BB and/or he told Kraft that he wasn't cut out for it and Kraft then started taking more control until he fired Bill.

Just curious.

So...who do you guys want?

Vrabel and Skippy?
Or Ben Johnson?

Vrabel and Skippy please

 

[Yankee Traveler]

Vrabel and Skippy please

I think they will compliment each other very well.

 

[YankeeRebel]

Agreed. And we all know Skippy is not HC material but IMO he's a great OC. A lot of people will argue he was great b/c of TB12, I get the argument just don't fully agree with it

I think...I believe...that Skippy also knows he's not HC material and will be fully entrenched in coming home and being the best OC he can be.

And with Vrabels tenacity it could be a nice fit.

But alas if only we had the #1 pick, our worries would melt away

I would also consider Robert Saleh as the DC

BINGO!!!!!!

The failure of Wolfe to bring in a decent LT from the free agents that were available smells like shit on a sneaker at the dinner table.
The man did nothing to remove Vedarian Lowe from the LT position from Week 8 on. As bad as his holding penalties were, he just could not get in front of a quick edge rusher. The second problem was that Mayo didn't do anything either. The worst part was that Van zPeltdidn't stick his neck out and demand that they find someone better.

I could get behind a Vrabel & Skippy reunion.

Vrabel though not great as an HC did have some good years in TN. He also brings that discipline that is badly needed.

Skippy is a good OC and has shown he can work well with most QBs. We need that so we don't turn Maye into Mac Jones 2.0. Because, regardless who comes in there will be a new learning curve for Maye. I hope he doesn't regress.

Someone mentioned Saleh for DC.

Now that gives me a little chubby. Vrabel, Skippy and Saleh. Never happen this is NE.

It may not but that would be the line up I would like to see
