Mayo will be the new HC

[n1997y]

Can he even organize a team? I'm a huge Mayo fan but this is too much too soon. We're not setting him up to succeed by throwing him into the fire.

Exactly my concern. It will be chaos.

Bring in Vrabel or someone else who hasn’t learned to fail coached under Bill. Get rid of everyone else.

You mean Curran who got clowned for last 2 years as not having a clue was right about the whole thing all along?

I am shocked! Shocked I tell you. I mean how can someone who covers the Pats for 20 years with a massive platform in said Pats market actually have Pats sources?

I am all for Mayo btw. I think he can be special.

 

[PWRxWLF]

I dont remember who, but someone one Patriots Unfiltered today floated the idea of Vrabel being promoted to the role of GM similar to John Lynch and whether or not Vrabel would be interested in a role moving upstairs. Boy, that would be something I’d be absolutely stoked for. I don't see it happening, but its fun to fantasize about.

I will say this Bill saw his football acumen right away.
He is a very level guy, doesn’t lead thru screaming yelling fear or intimidation was an amazing player.

He will relate to the players better than bill could and I think he’s smart enough to go outside the program to get coaches and other voices.

Everyone has credited him for the success of the D and defensive players have credited him as a coach from day 1.

I wanted Harbaugh, Johnson, Vrabel.

I will hope of course Mayo can follow the same success pattern as Demeco Ryan’s.
And Kraft has seen this guy everyday and knows what he has in him.
Let’s hope he is ready.

If this happens Kraft will be bringing in a car load of human crutches for Mayo to lean on.
This could be great or long forgotten in 5 years

 

[PWRxWLF]

And you know this how? Were you in the room? I’m not saying it won’t happen, but you have no idea what was what wasn’t “promised”.

It’s being reported by Ian Rappaport.

Why would he want to do that though? He’s still pretty young. Seems like a guy who would want to be on the field… is there any indication he wants to be an executive at all?

This is a huge mistake.
This will go down as a meh diversity hire.
And it will be hard to move on based the eh be will
Grow into the role. Give him time and Kraft feels committed to him so 10 years or mediocrity.

Be better bro. This diversity hire **** needs to stop. People have been hyping Mayo up for several years now. This has nothing to do with the color of his goddamn skin.

 

[mgcolby]

Harbaugh, Vrable and any other number of offensive guys...not sure why you keep Mayo. This is still a fist class organization that should be a sought after spot. Not to mention the Draft and Cap situation.

This thing can be turned around quickly with the right FAs and a great draft.

Rappaport said “strong candidate “, unless he’s said something I missed

I’m not sure if he would want to do it. Guess it depends on what he’s motivated by. It would give him a pay increase and allow him to focus on running the organization. Maybe that challenge intrigues him. I doubt it, but who knows. It would definitely lead to a really interesting front office structure.

It’s in his contract.

The diversity hire argument makes no sense. In what way does his skin color help the team? I doubt Boston sports fans will say “well we are 4-13 again in 2024 but at least our coach is a minority, so it’s fine”

I am not a local so I only ever see him if he shows up on a national show which does not happen often.

He hurt your feelings? You want a hug? The guy was reporting what he heard - I.e his job. Not his fault you don't like his info that turned out to be accurate btw.

Grow up.

 

[Mack Herron]

Others have suggested the contract sllows them to bypass the Rooney rule but does not commit the team to hiring Mayo,

 

[StockingAnarchyNumber12]

We can only hope it goes well and give him a chance. Let’s see how it plays out before saying it’s a bad idea.

 

[PWRxWLF]

Rappaport said “strong candidate “, unless he’s said something I missed

He did say strong candidate, but then he also reported that there was a clause in his contract for succession and that it had previously been communicated to the NFL.

Maybe that challenge intrigues him. I doubt it, but who knows. It would definitely lead to a really interesting front office structure.

He has the persona that might lend itself well to the role in a way but has no experience. Having a brand new GM and HC neither of which have done the job before in the same season seems dicey.
