PATRIOTS NEWS Jerod Mayo FIRED per Schefter

[Froob]

Gronk can **** off.

Gronk doesn’t watch football lol

They would not be stupid enough to tell him to lose on purpose and then fire him. Pats would know Mayo woukd rat them out to Goodell and they would lose draft picks and be fined

You don’t have to be direct. If you are smart you hold a meeting about next season, discuss draft prospects and explain your opinions on the difference between having the number 1 and number 4 picks etc etc. ask him his opinions of top 10 prospects and state yours. It’s not like they would have to tell him this with 3-10 weeks left in the season clearly trying to tank multiple games. Tons of plausible deniability when it’s only one game at the end of the season.

 

[RobertWeathers]

In this case absolutely. He referenced JJ being 1-15 in his first season to go on and win 2 super bowls. The Cowboys had the pieces in place to do so, these Patriots clearly do not. Apples to oranges

Gronk...what a ridiculous comparison. He is a buffoon.

Jimmy Johnson was actually a competent, head coach who won a national championship with a vision and execution strategy.

Mayo had none of that.

Tough job

Tough league

The problem is that Gronk and guys of/around his era view Jerod as their friend from back in the day when they played with him. None of them were ever coached by him, they have no idea what’s gone on in the building here. They just look at the record and come up with excuses about how their buddy should’ve gotten more time.

If the reports are true, the decision that Mayo was going to be fired was made before the game.

There is no way he was fired an hour after the game without it already being a foregone conclusion.

 

[Froob]

It isn’t a W-L thing with Mayo. We could have won four games and looked more promising doing it.

 

[archstanton543]

He is gone it has been reported

Nope. That's an unsubstantiated "report" by Ben Trolin' piggybacking off of Schefter's actual report of the Mayo firing. AVP has not been fired as of right now.

Gronk wouldn't be Gronk if he hadn't been in NE. I think TB12 and BB both had a good effect on keeping him in line.

I have come to dislike Gronk.

In fact, there are a number of ex Patriots I just don't like...Gronk, DA, Mayo, Fauria...even Vrabel annoys me a little but I don't hate him.

I loved it when Glazer destroyed Gronk at Brady's roast. Idiot.

I don’t care if he won 6 games by flipping a couple of these one score games, if it still looked so bad and disorganized and culturally awful with guys like Tavai attacking fans then I would have been calling for his job regardless. Conversely if he only had 2 wins but they were fighting hard and were buttoned up and being smart then I would’ve been more comfortable with a 2nd year.

Record is really divorced from the conversation. The only people who focus on the record are Mayo’s blind defenders who just scream Dan Campbell’s name nonstop.

 

[BUSTAMOVE]

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

He said he would
But then walked it back

Mayo had none of that.

I always liked Jimmy, arguably the best coach in Cowboys’ history. Biggest mistake Jerrah ever made was firing him to satisfy his own ego.

 

[ViperGTS]

Was thinking they would be on Hard Knocks next year, but nope...will have a new head coach so they can't be.

Darn.

I'm a big Tom Landry fan so I never say Jimmy was a better coach than him....but he was close.

great, so they gave him added incentive to win, what a clown show

 

[BUSTAMOVE]

He’s only saying that to make it seem like he actually has inside info
He is just going on Jonathon’s disgusted face towards the play calling

 

[The Gr8est]

One interesting thing about this for coach candidates is that they’re no longer “the guy after the guy” following in Belichick’s giant shadow - now they are the guy after Jerod freakin’ Mayo. The fanbase has now seen how bad it can TRULY get and will probably be a lot more patient just by getting baseline professional football from the jump.

I hope the Krafts can get the meddling tendencies out of their system.

Get the right guy and leave him alone.

 

[archstanton543]

New Curran is up. He's not defending Mayo. Praising the Krafts for being decisive.

Curran: Mayo firing shows urgency, but Krafts' work has just begun

Why did the Patriots fire Jerod Mayo after one season? Where does Robert Kraft go from here? Tom E. Curran reacts to a stunning development in New England.
