As for Mayo, in part because he has not held a position in which he is clearly the #1 guy, I'm not sure just how good a coach he is, nor do I have a clear sense how broad those skills might be "all three phases," as we are fond of saying. We are assured publically that he has got the skills, but these assurances, after all, come from the same people who gave us the pathetic tandem of Fat Matt and T'shirt Boy. Mayo might also be an artifact of Patriots approaches which have increasingly shown themselves possibly to be archaic. Mayo is at his core a defensive coach, and offense these days is King. Obviously there have been great defensive-minded coaches in the past, but in the present climate, that might not be ideal.
I do not oppose a Mayo succession at all. but given that he is not obviously the best man for the job, I think that a search for alternatives - however surrpetitiously or informally accomplished - might be what due diligence requires.
