Bedard: There was second guessing about Mayo over summer and him getting a second year isn't guaranteed

[Rob0729]

Take this for FWIW. I haven't listened to the episode or this specific part. Not sure if this is taken out of context. But here it is:

If it were easy to find posts, I'd bring receipts showing how this was going to be a disaster from the day he was hired and the media/fans calling for him to be gone by mid season.

Unless Maye has a collapse, I think he'll help Mayo's cause stealing a few games - but not much as this team is really bad.

Who would be next up? A cheerleader (blonde preferably) would make the game 1000s of times more interesting. Damn the wins!!!

And so it begins...

I really hope Mayo's ass gets canned at the end of the season and Bob does a real reset.

I personally was hopeful that Mayo would work out. Still hopeful it will. But I had no idea how well he would do.

I still think he got the short end of the stick with a lack of talent and not the best coaching under him, but he hasn't really made a lot of smart decision either.

Maybe with Kraft looking at his own mortality and Maye looking like he might be a franchise QB, he will go all out to get a top coaching staff if he does fire Mayo. If Maye continues to look promising, it will allow the Pats to get top coaching talent. Good coaches want to go where they have a QB to build around.

Bedard is buddies with Wolf.

This is Wolf leaking that Mayo is getting canned in a few weeks if he doesn't fix this ****.

If they had second thoughts before the the season they must be on suicide watch now

This is not all on Mayo.

This is on the Krafts.

If you end up firing your new coach after one year, you're a bad owner and you don't know what you're doing.

What makes this even worse is that Mayo has not actually had the support he needed to succeed.

He doesn't have great coaches on the offensive side, the front office shot blanks in free agency, and Mayo himself compounded the drop in team culture with his public pronouncements and touchy feeling Pete Carrollish rah-rah routine.

Mayo is going to be a convenient scapegoat, but I will never be convinced he wouldn't have succeeded as a coach if he actually had proper support and also proper seasoning. It is Mayo's fault at the end of the day because he's a coach who can be scapegoated and he went into this situation willingly pushing out his old coach.

Bottom line: this is Kraft's failure.

Bedard might want to develop new sources because Wolf is on the hot seat himself.

Wolf positioning himself to not take the blame...

One of the issue with Mayo is that I'm sure what kind of team he's trying the built.

I'm starting to think this is karma.

Yes please! But based on that scenario Wolf stays and Mayo is the lone fall guy. Don't like it. Clean house send them both packing. Mayo is a start though. But who the **** is going to coach the team? Honestly? It's the three musketeers and maybe a giligan in there somewhere

What exactly does Mayo do? He calls himself a "CEO coach" & from what I can tell he runs around the building trying to make himself look busy, pointing fingers & making excuses for himself. He doesn't contribute anything from an X's & O's standpoint. He's not all involved with the defensive game plan. He doesn't do any actual coaching. And now he's lost the locker room.

Mayo brings zero value & there's absolutely no reason for the Krafts to bring him back.

Bobby already planting his damage control and throwing Mayo under the bus with the "concerns over the summer" comment. What a ****ty thing have come out already.

Just remember guys, Bob also was going to fire BB after the 2001 season.
