PATRIOTS NEWS Mayo negotiations + OC interviews next week

[Foxypats]

Does anyone know whom they have contacted regarding the OC position and when interviews will actually start? Anxious for some concrete news.

Nope. Probably won't find out who they hired for sure until training camp where they release the coaching titles for the season.

I don’t see any quote in quote minority candidates intervening on MlK day.

Do you have hidden cameras set up inside Gillette or something?

yeah I mean the rooney rule is a joke, you get some people of color for a formal interview just to choose the one (inhouse) guy you anyway wanted, its disrespectful and waste of time and money to all involved just for NYFL pretend some fairness, they should rather focus to solve the zebra problem which is obvious to anyone but Goodell and his Clownshow in NY

I can't argue with your reasoning, it seems as if most teams do not take it seriously. The reasoning is that forcing the interview gives candidates visibility for future opportunities. It is also good practice for the candidates when legitimate opportunities emerge. The real downside is that it creates media swirl and sends a message that the candidate is not happy with their current role.

Sure there is. You asked for film analysis of the changes in the offense and when directed on where to find it, you simply ignore it. Why should anyone be surprised by tactic #69 in Andy's Manual of Discourse Deflection Tactics.

It's unbelievable, isn't it? He makes sweeping statements from as far back as the summer/start of the year that the Patriots ran the same offence and it didn't change. You show article after article that includes quotes from players themselves that they had implemented a new offence and then he deflects by saying "show me tape". Why the hell would anyone search for tape when a player on the team said it publicly? Then when you point out that Lazard has it on film he says "no there isn't". And what's really amazing is how he'll blather on and on how this place has gone downhill. Who has been wrong more then Andy Casserly?

I am checking in every 15 minutes. But I know BB allowed Kraft to put out a press release to ease fans minds.
Now BB will resort to the only way he knows how to do things. Conduct his interviews in secret and we will know all the details when everything‘s final. My guess is it will be at least a week
We definitely will not get a play by play or a scorecard.

I don't think BB allows Bob Kraft to do anything. If anything it's the other way around.

95% of the time. But I am sure Kraft stomps his foot when BB is being stubborn and it is effecting the bottom line.
For Instance… This latest press release (no way BB would have done that) That was forced down his throat
The Jimmy G saga
When BB got caught in spygate and Kraft called him a schmuck

We should see a list of who’s interviewing like other teams.

The Jimmy G saga

There was no saga. It was a total media creation.

It would be fun for the fans.
With BB he seems to go by the rule until it is final it is only a distraction

2-6 vs playoff teams in the regular season (Jags and Ravens)

Helps when you play Commanders, Texans, Colts, Jags (when they were 2-5), & Panthers,

You may be right.
I think there was more to it than that.

It sure does. Helped us when we played those same teams last season plus Falcons and Jetsx2.

They should promote mayo to assistant HC along with any other position he gets similar to scar being HC along with his being the O-line coach. Then kick fat matt up stairs as ernie adams replacement. As an aeronautical engineer he should be great with statistics

I wouldn't hate it but didnt he have major health issues like 10 years ago? Also how the hell is he only 61? I would have thought he was Bill's age at least.

ha ha, I had the same reaction about his age. He had like a heart condition, collapsed during a game I think and eventually stepped away, but came back. He would be great, especially if he could groom a successor while he was here. By all accounts a good guy -- we could use a little of that about now after the clown show.

According to Tom Curran, Bill O'Brien is the 'primary target' for the Patriots to be their next offensive coordinator. In the words of Curran, it would be an upset at this point if he doesn’t get the job

He had a transient ischemic attack with the Texans. He then had instances of complex migraines and bouts doctor mandated rest with Denver after experiencing intense flu symptoms that required hospitalization.

I don't remember hearing much health-related concerns during his most recent stint with the Vikings.

So who knows. Not sure where he's at from a health standpoint. He also played the game, and maybe that has contributed to his overall health (as most of his health issues seem to be related to wear-and-tear of the internals)
