New England Patriots firing Jerod Mayo after one year is ‘mismanagement’ | PSNFF | NFL on NBC
Stop the racist crap; he got a premium position at Optum Health where he can use his mind.
Mayo wasn’t horrible as a coach. Bottom line.
then they go get vrabel and mcdaniels haha patriots don't need those guys back and expect something be different. that called insanity.
Mayo sucked and had to go
Kraft pull the racist ticket.
Mismanagement? I would’ve fired him after his opening press conference… instead of thanking and appreciating the opportunity the team that drafted him and gave him a head coaching position, he decided to rant about racism and woke garbage…. He’s trash……
No, they planned on doing it the whole time !! That's an embarrassment
Remember… Coach Thomas Landry lost FIVE straight seasons before the Dallas Cowboys eventually became America's team…In fact…Coach Landry didn't win his first SB until SB 6…after 12 years on the job…Tom Landry is now on the all- time winning NFL HC list…😮😮😮…
He was set up to fail. Watch Vrabel struggle and the media come up with excuse after excuse 😂😂😂😂.
Belichick left this team a mess.
All of them ignore the utter failure Mayo is – no plan, no development, no scheme, no nothing – just a lotta circus.
Bill only won 5 games before his first Superbowl win so I agree with theses guys 100 percent. Kraft is not a good person I've never rooted for the Patriots ever in my life.
It’s more than that. Mayo is a racialist and Kraft is a Trumper. Racialism is out of vogue and Kraft feels emboldened. Not surprising Mayo is gone.
He was fired for winning the last game and costing us Travis Hunter
Ok… Nobody expected Mayo to do miracles. But this team looked like it didnt even PRACTICE. It was like they just showed up. Thats absolutely coaching. Something like the O-line just clearly hopping offsides week to week, is coaching. (Not even going into the protection) Theyre clearly jumping before the ball ia snapped at the sound of the cadence (because theyre so bad they NEED the advantage) but get called every single week, like its never addressed. Then you take a decent Defense and turn them into sissies in a year.. Cant wait for Vrabel!!
It was an abuse of the Rooney rule.
When the team started losing games, they stopped respecting Coach Mayo. We are hearing a lot of rumors about how toxic the atmosphere in the locker room was. None of those players are going to not respect Mike Vrabel. And now they have Josh McDaniels back as their offensive coordinator. The team is automatically going to be better next year.
He wasn't a competent coach. His players didn't have faith in him. He couldn't win when you needed him to — and when you wanted him to lose, he wins. Did that meaninglessness game mean more to the coach than a #1 pick? Should never have been hired in the first place — that was the mismanagement.
Washington was in a similar situation – And they put in COMPETENT people. You can see the difference. The GM needs to go to. Another waste.
Mismanagement? No sir, the Bengals keeping Marvin Lewis for 16 yrs because DEI and extreme mismanagement.
DEI = MISMANGEMENT.
He's not mad that he got fired he got mad because he's black and they don't want to fire a black head coach the patriots are not a good team I totally agree and I don't think they should fire them for one year deal but sometimes you have to turn the team around if he can't do that and he shouldn't be keeping his job there's other people out there who could do the job skin color doesn't give you a guaranteed job
another DEI hire getting the ax how shocking.
Hire Dungy. Dude is a football maven!
What no one is talking about is that the Kraft’s where basically forced to hire Jerod because DEI what at its height and the Boston sports media had already decided that it had to be Jerod Mayo . Well, it backfired . At first it made the Krafts look good until it totally collapsed. I do not blame Jerod , he did what he could and the Krafts didn’t do much to support him in terms of getting some good players. If a DEI hire is in the government or a private company , no problem, they can cover it up but in a sports team you can’t hide the numbers. I like Jerod but I just don’t believe he was ready for this job yet but I think that he has a lot of potential to be a great coach in the NFL in a few years. Thanks.
They fired the first black coach? If this is not racism I didn't know what is. This is Trump's America people!
If they got rid of Mayo, they also should've fired Wolf, who drafted the terrible players the team has.
Jerod Mayo was always a lame duck until the Patriots could lure Mike Vrabel back
There's a Clear Difference between Black and White Coaches, now people who dont know can see it
This is why I love these 2 Black Guys they SPEAK THERE MINDS.😊
Tony Dungy knows his stuff so well.
I kinda wish he’d go back to coaching.
Didnt Earn It. Guy was in over his head.
Rodney is correct. Kraft should've never made him a HC. It took a year for Kraft to realize that but it looks bad.
Team energy wasn’t there guys were losing in the locker!! 100%
Yea here’s what these analysts aren’t mentioning:
-He had multiple media blunders
-mishandling of benching of Stevenson and lying about it
-multiple players coming out essentially saying they aren’t being coached
-watch the tape he handled key red zone or important drives horribly
-Mayo isn’t the next Dungy or belichick
He LOST the lockeroom
rooney rule hire. they didn't want him there did didn't want to look bad. they sacrificed one year to do what they wanted to do all along
Imagine if the Lions had sacked Dan Campbell after his 1st season with a 3-13-1 record. 1 season ain't gonna do it. I have the feeling they were gonna sack him anyway.
MAYO GOT FIRED FOR LOSING THE NUMBER ONE DRAFT PICK BY WINNING THE GAME, I WOULD HAVE FIRED HIM TOO
So why weren't brian callahan or brian daboll fired?
At least the broadcast didn't cut them off mid conversation like what happened to gronk
What's crazy is we new or excuse me the smart fans knew we would suck we didn't have more then 20% of the team with talent. And for the idiots out there that think That Mayo lost the locker room prove to me that they have no idea of what it takes to win in the NFL the next HC will struggle heavy with the players because they were riding for the coach. The Kraft's sadly are showing how all those accolades they have received over the years seemed sullyied in the planning after Belichik , smdh.
People and Rodney saying "why hire him" It's simple read his contract they had no choice but to hire him.
He had an opportunity and resigned apparently everything that was wrong with previous year , signed no one good knowing you was going grab a qb
A lot of the Fans believe the guy was a DEI hire and never gave the guy a chance
Bottom line…..you getting paid millions of dollars to coach….you have to WIN. Don't take it so personal.
The firing of Jerod Mayo was wrong. He should have been given at least 3 years. Can't work miracles in 1.
Kraft will not be able wash this stink off
Anyone who calls Mr Kraft ‘thunder’ at his hiring has no business being a head coach. Mayo is going to need a lot of luck just finding a position as a water boy.
You don't get the hint yet? Jerod Mayo was not a real HC. He was a fake and he established no team identity or culture, and the whole system was set adrift. The Krafts didn't want to fire him, but they had no choice as the locker room and fans were disintegrating. It was an act of personal courage for them to fire Jerod. It's not something they ever did or wished to do. It was done to face reality that this was a catastrophic hire that could destroy everything.
Mayo is not a leader of men and it was apparent, he's not Demeco Ryans.
A signal he should have never been hired to be a coach which means he wasn’t ready for the position.
Josh Allen is the Patriots daddy. He whoops that azzz.
