This is the blueprint for ridding ourselves of Coach Jerod

[n1997y]

I was looking for articles about Mayo today and he has a BS degree in sports management. A sports management degree is all about the business side of sports. I can see Kraft loving that as I remember Jonathan touting Bellichicks economics degree. Mayo does seem excited in interviews about blockchain and startups and money.He also seems to have a winning personality and leadership skills with the players. Plus.... what certainly doesn't hurt, and may be equally important, he checks off a DEI box which pleases the woke mob and the NFL pressure to hire DEI head coaches and puts Kraft in a good light (he thought) for Hall of Fame woke owner..whoopee! But what the hell does Mayo know about the football side of being a Head Coach? Its like going into combat with an "educated" woke second lieutenant Company Commander who is not really interested in military tactics but thinking more about building his resume and making really big money when he gets out.

But can blockchain startups rush the QB and get consistent pressure?

If Daboll gets fired, and he isn't at least brought in for an interview as an assistant, I'll be pissed.

Yeah, let's bring in the guy who has the worst team in the league. What are you looking for? A better pick?

The heck with the blueprint for getting rid of Mayo. I want to see the blueprint for ridding this board of the constant whining about a first year head coach who was left a clown show for a roster and wasn't given much this year either.

I'm going out on a limb (no, not the coaching tree limb) and say that Jerod Mayo knows far more about "the football side of being a Head Coach" than you and most everyone here ever will.

Then again, we aren't talking about nuclear physics, we're talking about coaching football.

One would hope so. That doesn't make him qualified for the job, however.

Yes, but can the woke mob play man?

 

[patfanken]

he is horrible in a presser... I read Ian's transcript of the press conference, as watching for a few minutes made my eyes bleed... every other sentence he's dropping "you know" into his answers...

its an indication that he's not fully prepared to answer even the simplest questions, that he probably had gotten in advance... in public speaking, dropping 'Ums, Uhs, Like, You Know' repeatedly into an answer is a mechanism to delay while you try to think things through...

When you talk about a subject you should know, it does little to build confidence in your audience when you are not direct and assertive in your statements...

yeah, right. Media Relations should ALWAYS be the deciding factor in hiring a HC in the NFL. :sarcasm:

Dan Campbell was a whizz at when he promised that his team would be "biting ankles" in his first year with the Detroit He was UNIVERSALLY called a clown. How is he thought of now? BTW, BB's years in Cleveland were littered with dozens of examples of his supposed faux pas' that got him damned by the local media. Errors that he acknowledged he learned from when he got to NE.

Dealing with the media is a learned skill and one you really can't fathom until you actually experience. BUT it is NOT a skill that should determine a coach's ability to do the job, This is ANOTHER ridiculous thread that is either click bait or even worse, just mean spirited attempt of a cyber bully.

I should have known that going into a season we ALL knew would be a bad one, Some seemed SHOCKED when expectations turned out to be true. And given that its always easier to just blame, blame, blame, I should have expected nothing less. Thinking back on it, I'm embarrassed to have participated in it. My apologies

“I know I’ll be successful, 100 percent,” Mayo said. “And look, you’re gonna go through these trying times. Like, that’s what it is. And the mark of a true leader is being able to navigate this and knowing that you’re going the right way. And I truly believe that we are going the right way. In the short term it may be disappointing,

Jerod doesn’t provide any examples as to why he thinks he’ll be successful. Many people are conveniently forgetting that the LB’s have been a problem and the most criticized group on the defense since he’s been a coach.

One would think an owner would hire a head coach to be not only a capable administrator but also to provide the team some kind of edge on Sundays.
I have yet to discern what kind of advantage NE gains with this guy on the sidelines.

You are correct. Some of us knew it was going to be bad this year. The issue is, the team has lived up to that expectation.

Public speaking is a very important part of the job as a coach. The ability to get your point across in a direct and succinct manner is how you teach people. You of all people should know that. Mayos inability to get his point across in an intelligent manner is important. Maybe thats one of the reasons why we have been plagued by the same issues in week 10, 11, 12 etc that we had in week 1...

I don't feel bad for pointing out what I see as the flaws in the team this year. Started by questioning the decision to bring on Jacoby. Followed by harping on the line, Got poo-pooed. Guess how both have turned out?

Quite frankly, your passive agressive ******** post above is tiresome to read. I don't feel the need to blunt my criticism of the team. Nor should anyone else for that matter. I suppose we all could just walk away, not say anything. Whats the point in doing that? I may not be right, other posters may not be right all the time in what is said. I personally have been corrected more than a few times by the guys and gals here, which is what the message board is all about. Much better than disappearing for weeks at a time then *****ing about what people have been saying.

You see something positive? You see gains someplace that others have missed? Then post. Otherwise, save us all some hassle and go play some blackjack

He doesn’t need to know more than someone who has a casual
observers point of view. He needs to know more than the other 31 best in the world at it.

Your ignorance notwithstanding.

It’s not media skills, per se, it’s what that media interaction tells you.

Dan Campbell said essentially we are going to be caveman tough and not give an inch. His teams have embodied that.

Belichick said I’m going to be difficult with the media because I run a secretive operation, do not want to give away a single secret and want to set the tone for my team not giving out bulletin board material. That approach was clearly evident.

Mayo just seems to be throwing out whatever cliche or catch phrase he can to distance himself from accountability, throw his players under the bus, and come off like his only answers are hollow platitudes.

There is a clear difference between these 3 coaches when it comes to their media presence.

You are correct. Some of us knew it was going to be bad this year. The issue is, the team has lived up to that expectation.

I see what you are saying. I don't object to anyone criticizing Mayo for specific calls or game time decisions. Doing that is a fans right, even a duty, But I object to the incessant premature calls for his dismissal based on a 3-10 record when they have played about 10 of those game very competitively.

Public speaking is a very important part of the job as a coach. The ability to get your point across in a direct and succinct manner is how you teach people. You of all people should know that. Mayos inability to get his point across in an intelligent manner is important. Maybe thats one of the reasons why we have been plagued by the same issues in week 10, 11, 12 etc that we had in week 1...

Just a quick question. Where do the Pats lie on a list of teams with the most penalties or penalty yards Well don't bother. Curiosity got the better of me and I looked it up the Pats ranked as the 10th worst team with 83 penalites in 13 games. The team that ranked the highest were the Ravens with 105, and I'll bet that NO ONE in Baltimore is calling for Harbough's firing because his team is seemingly so undisciplined.

No coach teaches player to get penalties.

BTW- Mayo's skill at media relations IS subject to criticism at times I grant you. But that doesn't mean it won't improve over time.

I don't feel bad for pointing out what I see as the flaws in the team this year. Started by questioning the decision to bring on Jacoby. Followed by harping on the line, Got poo-pooed. Guess how both have turned out?

I would suggest what I post is neither passive aggressive, OR ********. But you are entitled to your opinion. Just because I haven't been around as much as some others doesn't negate the validity of what I'm saying when I do post. Constructive criticism is fine. But what I do object to is the unreasonable calls for Mayo's firing seem ludicrous to me and need to be pointed out occasionally.

You are old enough to remember the strident calls for Bill to be fired after the 5-11 2000 season where he had a better roster and a All pro QB who went to a superbowl. I see this as more of the same

You see something positive? You see gains someplace that others have missed? Then post. Otherwise, save us all some hassle and go play some blackjack

It's poker, not blackjack.

BTW- as to the positive. I see a bad roster compounded by lots of key injuries and player losses, with a rookie QB and a mediocre Vet coming in. Combine that with a brand new staff with little HCing and coordinator experience. But despite these deficits they have been VERY competitive in a vast majority of their games into the 4th quarter. They have played VERY hard each game despite the adversity and criticism.

Maye has been a revelation. He had developed MUCH faster than I expected and has shown a lot of good traits, beyond just his physical ability. He reads the defense faster than we have a right to expect at this point and while his footwork isn't perfect it is MUCH improved from what we saw in camp. Maybe the staff might merit some credit for this?

It is VERY tough to get through these last 4 games when you are basically interviewing for a job next year. IF they continue to play hard and manage to be competitive, then Mayo will more than deserve his chance at season 2

This is the bs he feeds Thunder. It's how he could talk himself into 5+ years on the job.

 

[sportnik]

So good to see Mayo spent his bye week hard at work, fixing all the teams issues. Lol, Mayo can’t diagnose tape nearly as well as my JV coach did,

Mayo is by far the most unqualified & over matched coach the NFL has seen this century. Only an cheap, absentee owner would think it’s acceptable to bring him back for another season.

Anyone who steps foot in Gillette before Mayo is gone is complicit in the humiliation of this once great franchise.

Bring back Mayo cracking the whip! I liked that thread.
