Curran's reporting on Mayo being the next head coach

[PatsFan2]

I’m interested in Mayo taking over instead of Vrabel. I worry that it’s still too early for him but he is definitely a smart guy and a good leader. Just look at the defense this year. They played hard for him despite a 4-13 season with the most frustrating offense of all time. That speaks to something about his coaching.

Exactly go all in for Offense in FA and the Draft should fix our problems.

I don’t know that at all. I’ve read enough of your posts to know you’d call it that in any case, regardless of who it was.

Good for you.

Ahh...it's been reported that Bill's son Steve was calling the defense.

I'd assume:

GM: Groh
HC: Mayo
OC: Obie
DC: Belichick

Steve probably wants to step out from under his dad's shadow.

Yep, I'd feel better about Mayo if he had real DC experience. Seems like a quality guy that's under qualified. I think Mayo has a chance of being a decent HC, but the risk of the unknown would have me looking elsewhere...for now.

I won't care as long as we go back to winning ball games.

I'd say Demarcus covington as DC..

Mayo incoming. Kraft’s golden child. The question is who will Mayo hire as OC. I say McDaniels

And I say that they are NOT firing BOB.

GM: Pioli
HC: Mayo
OC: BOB
DC: Belichick or Covington if Steve leaves
consultant: Josh, could be Assistant Coach

O'Brien is a BB holdover. Will be completely up to new coach re. OC

The Kraft's picked BOB. My personal view is that BOB won't be fired, certainly not by Mayo.

So, I guess Curran's credibility doesn't take a massive hit.

 

[Bourne Patriot]

Someone post the BB tree HC record again.

Surprised more people aren’t calling for a completely fresh start. Like why would we reset with a slightly less good version of the guy we just fired.

Mayo has no DC experience, he’s completely unqualified for the role. This is going to put the team back in the Rod Rust/**** McPherson mode.

If the Krafts are really going to make a DEI hire, instead of bringing in Vrabel, they should just sell the team.

If it’s really Mayo, they won’t be winning many games anytime soon.

 

[RIpats88]

Mayo was the guy before we knew vrabel was getting fired. Would he still be?

Dale Earnhardt Incorporated?

 

[Palm Beach Pats Fan]

Mayo is Kraft's man-in-waiting for good reasons, I presume, and having nothing to do with skin tone.

I would think so. If Vrabel does not get another HC job, maybe he is the DC for BB and then HC when BB retires in 2 or 3 years. McDaniels will be the OC, and Ziegler will be the shadow GM.
