So, according to Musketfire.com, after losing to Dallas in OT, BB took over the defensive calling and the Patriots went on the 7 game win streak. After that, he gave the defense back to Mayo/Steve for the remainder of the season and the defense fell apart.
Bizarre Bill Belichick decision explains Patriots’ defensive downfall in 2021
It would also seem that Mayo and Steven weren't always on the same page, leading to confusion in the position rooms as well as on the field.
Personally, I would give MAYO the DC position and move Steve somewhere else. Maybe Scouting DBs. He did a heckuva job developing them..
It's clear that MAYO is the better candidate. Especially with him being considered for HC positions. Some people are great positional coaches and horrible coordinators. And I think that Steve, unfortunately, falls into that description.
