ICYMI - This might help to shed some light on the quickness at which Jerod Mayo was hired

"The New England Patriots announced that their linebackers coach, Jerod Mayo will replace Bill Belichick as their new Head Coach.
They reportedly did not consider anyone else for the position as Mayo apparently had it written into his contract that he would get the job.
It certainly explains the terse and perfunctory news conference from Belichick and Patriots owner Robert Kraft yesterday".

Craft is a moron to agree to that contract. Welp looks like another year of s**tting the bed.

The Philadelphia Eagles were the first to host him for a head-coaching interview back in 2021, and Mayo "blew them out of the water," per NBC Sports Boston, only to be passed over for the offensively minded Nick Sirianni.

A year later, in the 2022 offseason, both the Denver Broncos and Las Vegas Raiders also interviewed Mayo for head-coaching vacancies. Denver ultimately traded for longtime New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton, while Las Vegas hired Mayo's former Patriots colleague, Josh McDaniels. The Carolina Panthers tried to follow suit ahead of the 2023 season, but Mayo reportedly declined to interview, citing a desire to remain in New England. He later signed a contract extension with the Patriots that pointed to a potential succession of Belichick.

Perhaps the Pats know something we all don't about Mayo.

True we don't know if its a good or bad hire. But position coached who jump directly to a head coach don't have good track records of being successful hires. Who knows maybe Mayo is another DeMeco Ryans hiring, but IMO if you're gonna start over, START OVER. It's basically the same team minus the success of Belichick. But hopefully Mayo has a plan on offense, because that's a huge mess to begin with.

Yeah that's what I just posted about. I don't understand why he wasn't promoted to coordinator or something if that was in his contract.

The not being a coordinator certainly raises questions., I no doubt about that. But what he's not another Demeco but maybe he's more of a Jim Harbaugh leader type who isn't good with Xs and Os but can motivate, lead and oversee as more of a CEO type.

He definitely needs a serious plan on offense and should probably think about making some staff changes on that side of the ball.

So teams hired Siriani, Payton and McDaniels....freaking McDaniels instead of him after the interview.

Yeah if I was a Pats fan I'd be really worried about this.

The Broncos hired Vance Joseph instead of Kyle. Teams do dumb stuff all the time.

You don't have to be Einstein to realize that all of Belichik's assistants have been garbage as HC's.

The point is that you shouldn't bet on other teams knowing what they are doing. Mayo might turn out to be a terrible HC, he might turn out to be a good one, I'm not going to base that on the Raiders having passed on him once.

Rich Eisen stated he thinks its gonna be Dan Quinn.

I'll welcome Dan Quinn to the division. Lol not worried about him at all as a HC. Especially since he doesnt have a franchise qb.

This division will be tough as hell next year - 49ers & rams are legit playoff teams. Arizona is trending up big time, Seahawks have talent but the worst qb of
the bunch
