PATRIOTS NEWS Mayo negotiations + OC interviews next week

[venecol]

This is excellent news. This team had enough coaching talent drain the last few seasons. Good job Mr. Kraft for stopping the bleeding. I think this is Mr. Kraft telling Bill he needs to delegate and focus more time in the FO.

They can't just announce Mayo as DC, because I believe they still need to follow Rooney Rule and interview an outside candidate. I may be wrong on that.

Ideally, Mayo ends up being DC and Asst. HC. That would allow him to rely on Stephen but give him more access to FO stuff that a HC needs to know. He spoke last year about Bill teaching more FO stuff.

The question is what happens with Patricia. Do they keep him as a consultant but gear him for a future GM role (God I hope not)?

Can't wait to see who the OC candidates are. I would assume Caley is one of them.

Bill making a move which probably hurts Steve is an interesting development.

I'm guessing Steve saves the day on special teams and mayo becomes defensive coordinator

Gm role? Is this April fool's

So what if Phat Matt interviews for the OC job and gets it? Or Judge?

For the future.

[JarOfMayo51]

Would he stay here as DC vs taking a HC job?

i think so, hes still relatively young for a coach and will cash in nicely as a coordinator.. would allow him to continue to refine his craft under BB and wait for an opportune head coaching position to open (maybe the Pats?!) at some point in not so distant future

patience is a virtue sometimes

Fat Matt getting the job?

Huh?

 

[Steve102]

So much for me saying the don’t react like the Red Sox. Holy chit man.

 

[Love The Drake]

Huh?

Does this mean he’s not taking the head coach interviews?

 

[TommyD4207]

This press release doesn't rule that out.

 

[Love The Drake]

Hopefully we keep Covington if we do that and get outside offensive minds in the locker room we could really be building a great coaching staff.
I’m optimistic.

I don think he wants to do that either once he retires. It’s a good gig for the typical coach, but it’s been said over and over that Bill’s passion is teaching. I think his dream retirement would be as a coaching consultant working with position groups and individual players.

Problem is, as Bill Belichick, it’s hard to have a role like that without it looking like he’s undermining whoever the head coach is. That is to say, the players would think the head coach is a figurehead and Belichick was in charge and treat the head coach that way. Even if it wasn’t true.

[Trolltolls]

I have a feeling Mayo would be an awesome HC in the future. If he really is the next in line I'm excited.

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

For the future.

Yeah it's like biff in back to the future 2

 

[Ross12]

Huh?

I’m pretty sure @venecol is on the right track; the Rooney Rule requires interviewing minority EXTERNAL candidates… it gets a little nebulous though since this position has been open for a while, so they could’ve already fulfilled these obligations at some point.

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

I'm talking Patricia as gm
