There are mixed opinions on the New England Patriots firing Jerod Mayo as head coach after only one season.
It’s hard to argue against results, and to be fair, the results haven’t been what the Patriots hoped this season. They hit rock bottom after the 4-13 finish last season under Bill Belichick and stayed in the exact same place under Mayo. The team is once again 4-13 on the year and dead last in the AFC East division.
Yet, outside of drafting rookie quarterback Drake Maye, the Patriots haven’t exactly done anything to help Mayo be successful. They failed to address the offensive line in free agency and the draft last offseason. The cupboard was bare, and Mayo was expected to cook up a miracle as a first-year head coach in an impossible situation.
