PATRIOTS NEWS Mayo's Coaching Staff [Discuss Coaching Candidates Here!]

[borg]

Nah, I'll do what I please. You can see the micromanaging here at all levels. They don't trust their own coaches and execs. They said this has to do with the business side, which is fine. This is the football side. If you don't trust your own coaches and you build a staff full of finks and rats, you get what you deserve.

Gotta believe Stealth GM Jonathan is live-monitoring the interviews (Bill & Ernie had the entire zip code wired for sound, right?)

I find it interesting that, so far, every single coach that's left the Patriots ended up in a college program. There were literally dozens and dozens of coaches leaving their present season teams or fired that went to other NFL team coaching staffs. A few ended up in college programs but the majority switched teams, either as a promotion or a parrallel move.

Not sure what this says, but the optics aren't good.

Why would I be? I'm trying to help you out.

Are you going to call Ian on me again? What a pathetic little boy you are. Be a man, stand on your own arguments (as ludicrous as they are). You're precisely the kind of kid who took his ball and ran home when they picked him last for teams.

I was told the job was already agreed to with Belichick more than a week ago. I posted that here in this thread when I found out. Immediate family member who has been in a suite at Falcons games w/ one of their biggest donor/clients. That's how my family member learned that.

McAdoo is Senior Offensive Assistant. I’m in favor of more coaches especially to help 1st year HC Mayo…but Tight End is such an integral part of any offense and with no specific assigned position for Ben…I’d like to see him also responsible for coaching TE’s. He has several years coaching the position in college and the NFL. I think he was a great hire and the team would benefit from his experience there.

I didn't call Ian on anyone.

Look you seem to be an older guy. Possibly lonely due to circumstance, winter or both. But taking a break from this place for a little while should do you some good. Help you focus a bit more. That's all I'm saying.

I wouldn't be too worried about him despite his obvious loss of cognitive function, he has an immediate family member who has been in a suite at Falcons games w/ one of their biggest donor/clients. That shows he has strong family support.

A secretary if one thing, a lawyer totally changes the dynamics.

A lawyer with an MBA changes the dynamic even more..
She is a savvy business management person who works for the Patriots..

Good to have a replacement for Groh whenever he wants to leave. We have 3 manager types leading the Scouting team.

“He was very sharp,” said the coach. “There were a lot of people in there (including Robyn Glaser, who didn’t ask any questions) and you could see a lot of note-taking going on, but Jerod was fully engaged. His questions were really good and he asked great follow-ups where you could tell he was engaged. He wasn’t just reading them off a piece of paper.

It makes sense that the Krafts would have a football liasion overseeing how the front office and the coaches were running things. But I didn't anticipate this level of micromanagement. Note taking during interviews, etc. In my organization, when we make decisions on personnel or other very important decisions, we limit the group that's privy to discussions (and that includes upper management and upper administration) because we want people to be absolutely free in whatever they're going to say and in whatever assessment they are going to make. In my experience, you open things up and people become much more guarded in what they're willing to reveal. An outsider from another organization is going to immediately take note that many people are in the room and that so is ownership, essentially, and they are going to take that into account when determining what kind of place Foxboro is for a coach. This has nothing to do with Glaser being good at her job, it has everything to do with her notetaking. Presumably, you can have a secretary in there to take minutes. She's not transcribing anything for anyone, but rather reporting to the owners.

Sorry, note taking is not just for secretaries. In my engineering/management (now retired) career I always carried a notebook into meetings to record and track key items. And I wasn't the only one.

It's not the taking of notes that is in question. It's the who is taking the notes.

I'd say you should stop being a fink in life.

And the problem with you whippersnappers is you know nothing because you haven't lived. And in this case, you haven't watched enough football to know and understand what you're seeing.

I am also an engineer/management and take detailed notes in meetings. But I've learned that if the other side has a lawyer present, I too need to have a lawyer present.

This is an interview. Not a deposition. Was his agent sitting in on the interview? That would be weird and unlikely.

I'm also an engineer/management that takes detailed notes in meetings and when interviewing someone. It was Jerod taking the notes. Glaser was probably taking notes. Wolf also. Huge nothingburger from the fool still upset that Bill got fired.

The board is also just really prone to jump to weird conclusions recently.

"When the interviewee came in they offered him water. Clearly this is a sign that Jonathan Kraft is in charge of the draft."

Mundane, or not, we have candidates reporting it was the worst interview process. That can't be good, can it?
