What is Spags contract situation with KC? I know his first stint as a HC was a failure but its been a long time and, if we are not going into first timers again (and I can see the merit on that) in case Kraft decides to fire Mayo, we may be looking for a HC with a failed historic unless we decide to go Doug Peterson (but his most recent stint will end up in a big fail) or someone who is out of the picture like Gary Kubiak for example.
Spags been alongside Reid for a long time so that is valuable experience even if he didn't have HC experience from the past. Mayo came out of nothing and is clearly not showing he is ready. I'm sorry look at Chicago, if you don't fire you coach even with all the red lights in the world just to "not fire after one season" because you're not the Jets, then you become the Bears or Saints.
There's no time to be wasted here, we are in a good situation to speed up the rebuilding process and being competitive, but it needs the right people more than ever.
If Mayo leaves and becomes the next Belichick somewhere else so be it. That's a risk I'm totally willing to take
