Does anyone think there is a chance Mayo is one and done?

When it's not a relative, it's called cronyism.

Like hiring former lacrosse players to a national football team.

It's has to do with having a personal relationship with someone and giving them a job.

I know I agree. I was just eluding to post about mayo being a nepotism hire.

Head Coach: I’m 50/50 with Mayo staying. I’d only want Vrabel to replace him.

Offense: AVP gets another season but maybe Polk and Baker are not getting the training they need. I’d like to see Hughes fired now and let Troy Brown do the job for the remaining games and see what happens and then reevaluate after the season.

Defense: Covington should probably be fired at the end of the season. Vrabel as HC and DC would be ideal IMO.

I felt Vrabel would have been the guy.. before we all found out about the clause for Mayo. I'd like wolf to hire Vrabel at DC.. then untimely he'd be in position to replace Mayo as HC going forward.

The definition of nepotism literally includes both friends and family.

I don’t think Vrabel needs to be the HC and DC as he wasn’t his own DC in TEN. He is capable of finding a competent DC for himself.

If they don’t replace Mayo then I otherwise agree - I would keep AVP and cut Covington, and would make changes at WR coach.

I also think it would be wise to bring in someone with GM potential from another team to in an “Assistant VP” role under Wolf who can bring a new voice to the room that could challenge some of the ideas Wolf and company have during the draft and free agency.

Applying it to Mayo is stretching it. Mayo was a former employee of Kraft's that he took a liking to. Getting hired by a company and then selling yourself to the person who makes the decisions on promotions is far from nepotism, that's just what you are supposed to do to advance your career.

It's a far cry from dragging your son along with you and making teams deem him the heir apparent wherever you go.

I don't want Vrabel or anyone remotely connected to the old regime.

Vrabel has one playoff win and it was back when Brady was still a Patriots.

If Mayo gets fired, they need an offensive coach who is forward thinking that has nothing to do with the old regime.

That would never work, for the exact reasons you mention. I don't see how the Pats can bring in a high powered coordinator with HC credentials under Mayo That said, it would be worth watching Mayo get undermined by the next coach in waiting.

Well.. supposedly mayo handled the defensive side with coaching.. so if that's the case then covington isn't going anywhere.. I'm just throwing out what I would like and that is Vrabel.. but the more likely scenario is Mayo's going to bring in a veteran coach to support the defense. Tomlin had **** leuabua in Pittsburgh for years.

Having drafted a QB that looks like a great pick so far will unfortunately give Mayo another year at least. I do not think he is capable of being a good HC at least not yet. He should have had many more years of experience as a position coach and then a DC. I have said it before, Kraft's ego will not allow him to make a change right now even though that would be best for the team. Also he is afraid of how it will look ( the optics ).
I liked Mayo when he played for the Patriots but that should not translate into being a HC with zero experience.

I see your points Ross.. but the reason why nepotism is prevalent here with Bill becuase Stephen was a lacrosse player he didn't play football. Mayo and Covington did at least have football acumen. Same with pelligrino a lacrosse player. Bills career spanning 50 years he network is endless of the connections.

If Stephen were still here and the defense looks like it has all season we would have our answer. I've said myself Mayo's biggest fault was not going elsewhere and then coming back he'd be a much better coach having done so.

Stephen played football at Rutgers and was an assistant coach.

Your correct I did forget to mention that after-post.

We need to accept Mayo will be back.
Even if our defense gives us a nfl
Leading amount of points to finish the season.

They will fire Covington as a scapegoat.

I think a veteran coaching assistant is brought in to support covington on defense.

Yeah. Mayo leaving is just wishful thinking. He was always getting more than one year. You can't fire Belichick and then give his replacement a single season with a roster this bad. It will just make the opening look toxic to anyone relevant. Even if you want to get rid of Mayo, you still need to show potential hires that they will get a fair shake here and won't be on the hotseat on day 1.

I’m not looking forward to see Vrabel with the Jets.

I am. The Jets will be in full rebuild mode. They will have to get a new QB. Even if Vrabel ends up panning out (I doubt it, NYC is a tougher crowd than TN) it will be years before they do anything relevant. We don't even know which GM they will saddle that team with.
