PATRIOTS NEWS Jerod Mayo FIRED per Schefter

[The Gr8est]

Unclear. The only person to report it is Trollin' so...take it with however many grains of salt you want.

Could you dislike one of my posts so I know you are OK and it is really you?

Baker that ****ing mental midget gets a catch against the freshman team and gets up and spins the ball in celebration like he did something. That sums this entire season up and Mayo's culture.

You know the bills were tanking if Baker made a catch

 

[Thelonious]

Some of you are getting crazy with these criticisms. He made his first career catch in a competitive game. There’s nothing culturally wrong with him celebrating

What nonsense. Act like you've caught the ball before.

So was Mayo the first HC fired this year?

Salah

 

[PatsFan2]

So is Mayo going to have a must watch presser??

 

[The Gr8est]

Missed in this development is the team most likely negatively impacted by this:

The NY Jets.

 

[BUSTAMOVE]

I suggested earlier that you can't really control how a game like that will go, especially with the Bills playing reserves. Then Milton lights it up unexpectedly. I think they might've decided to let him go after the Chargers game.

I give the Krafts a ton of credit for not only firing Mayo but for doing it so quickly.

Probably why Mayo coached his ass off today
He knew and gave them a big FU

 

[Thelonious]

Yeah could of worded that better. I was saying I am iffy on first year HC's in regards to the Ben Johnson's of the world.

Gotcha. I figured that was yer drift.

 

[PatsFan2]

The crazy negativity was getting to me.

But I had to come back on this day of days.

Hey arch.

Gruden's mentioned because "Name I have heard of before". Same with Josh McDaniels.

Horseshit! You should pay more attention and be less smug. Multiple reports on teams "doing their due diligence" on Gruden's situation. He wants back in and teams are responding in kind.

And no more worries about misspelling Maye in posts by typing Mayo.

 

[raduray]

He was the Cam Newton of the coaching staff.... 1 and done, but at least the next guy will look better by comparison....

I'm not sure I like this comparison. The next guy was Mac.

I think that is entirely possible. I think Mayo could well do the vindictive whiner thing.

1. Talk to Vrabel in-person right away
2. Talk to Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn virtually tomorrow
3. Talk to Robert Saleh and Ron Rivera in-person after that to check off Rooney Rule and also get their perspectives
4. Do a couple other interviews mid-week virtually with playoff coordinators
5. Evaluate what you've learned end of week; if Vrabel is still your top guy then hire him right away and get a jump on building a staff
6. If BJ has blown you away (pun intended) then wait for him
7. If your chosen guy doesn't want Wolf then hire a GM above him and relegate Wolf to an assistant role instead of grocery-picker

 

[archstanton543]

I'm not sure I like this comparison. The next guy was Mac.

Brady to Cam to Mac.

Cam was the next guy after Brady.

Is there a tackle named Vrabol in the draft?

 

[Real fan 02]

Great News! A golden opportunity for a new staff!

The wolf in a GMs clothing is here for now. They will go through the HC interview process however I think Vrabel will be hired. Listening on the radio Bedard mentioned Mayo was likely told he was out prior to the game and his contract is being bought out.

 

[maust]

Yeah I am sure they’ll make tweaks. I am pretty sure they would have done so anyway with several guys having expiring deals.

I think the entire structure of the front office is going to change, certainly it all requires reevaluation. At the very least they're going to have to bring in a lot of bodies to get it up to today's standards. Things have changed in the NFL. It's understandable after 24 years of 'one voice' being enough the Krafts weren't convinced a sea change was neccesary or more and bigger was necessarily better. They've been proved wrong and appear to at least be owning part of the mistake. It's no coincidence that more than one person who came in to interview last year wondered where 'all the people' were

 

[Vindicate]

It's going to take a couple of years of steady work to rebuild this crap team. There will setbacks and frustrations, inevitably. I think I would prefer the solidly purposeful, willful Vrabel over the more impulsive, even volatile Gruden for such a task, but I will trust that the Krafts will somehow run a legit hiring process this time - unlike last time - which will reveal who is really the best candidate.

I will nut at the mere presence of "improvement."

That's all I'm trying to see. I don't give a damn how the record looks (within reason), as long as it improves and the players improve. It's fun watching a team improve. Watching the Celtics win this last season was awesome because we kept seeing improvement and we saw that team grow (granted they have an insane HC/then GM in Brad).

You hold more faith than I in the Kraft's and I hope you're right!
