Curran's reporting on Mayo being the next head coach

[TommyD4207]

Like Curran or not he nailed this one.

He sure did. Must be nice to have the future HC as the coach. Never even crossed my mind he would go to the media.

 

[Love The Drake]

I hope this is accurate.

If Mayo went to the media that’s a ***** move.

 

[TommyD4207]

I hope this is accurate.

I mean, certainly some familiar names will be here, who knows how many coaches he knows outside of New England, or who had come from New England.

Not just 'went to the media', has 'been going to the media' since at least his 'heir apparent' dog and pony show Kraft did last year.

I want a league wide GM and HC search until something is announced I’m going to assume the full search will commence.

You won't get it. They're going to hire Mayo before they hire a GM - something that always works well in NFL history, although you'll probably get your league-wide search on GMs. I think the current crop of personnel guys gets blown out by Kraft while the coaching staff gets blown out by Mayon, and then they get their GM...when the coaching staff is already in place. I do hope they get one before FA starts.

There’s no emoji for this.

Of course they knew. Although Jack Jones was always an idiot, I won't put that on Kraft/Mayo.

 

[ahmed]

They did that because nobody loses graciously. Now people are just making up stuff on Mayo to lash out.

 

[ahmed]

Someone from inside the organization is leaking to Curran. Its Mayo’s job to lose

That's how the whole Insider thing works.

Get used to it. Curran's isn't the only agenda in town.

 

[captain stone]

If you take away the PR fluff about how great and smart he is (unproven) and playing career Jerod Mayo has proven the same amount as a football coach as Steve Belichick which is he can run what Bill tells him defensively.

If Groh is the GM and McD or BOB is the OC this isn't change, this is just the same old crap of the past 4 years with a rebranding and a guy who will listen to Kraft more.

Where is the new offensive identity we clearly need going to come from?

More insular thinking with a coach who hasn't coached or played outside of New England.

Exactly this.

A life-long Patriot front-orifice flunky under Belichick & a life-long Patriot player & coach under Belichick would be just the laziest, most short-sighted ****ing hirings that ownership could possibly do; and would be a complete ****ing Disaster on the field.

He’s been pretty spot on about this situation

Mayo fed him the information based on a contract that Mayo signed. He's Mayo's mouthpiece.
Spot on? Yeah.
A b1tch? Definitely.

The most likely GM is Wolfe.

Yes, the Kraft's are having an evaluation and will interview alternatives as thy deem necessary. My choice, as I have said, is Pioi. If necessary, we should hire a consultant until the GM search and search for other positions is complete. Josh can come onboard to go with Bill.

IMO, the solution will resolve itself before free agency. Either the Kraft's will bring in a GM or they won't. IMO, BOB and Mayo are capable of making decisions, subject to approval from the Kraft's.

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

The 3 best HC candidates are all defensive guys: Vrabel,Mayo and Flores.
So get a quality OC and GM like you said and the defense will remain very good.
Flores is the best defensive coach of the 3. He came up under Bill but he's more aggressive. He's a smart guy and I think he's learned from his mistakes just like Bill did. Brian was a bit too much of a hardass, just like Bill was in Cleveland.
Not saying he's gonna be the equal to the GOAT HC but I think he could become one of the best in the NFL.

Kraft knows Flores and Mayo and seems to prefer Mayo. That is the only vote that counts.

That's not foreboding at all.

He was also the first to report that Bill was going to get let go. Obviously his sources go beyond just Mayo.

How was Mayo getting inserted without BB being let go or mutual parting or whateverTF?
Mayo replacing BB was in the works last year. Was BB supposed to evaporate?
