Did Jerod Mayo deserve to be fired by the New England Patriots after just one season?

[@michaelchauvin7219]

You don't HIRE the guy if you're not comfortable going all-in with him. This is all public relations to scapegoat Mayo because the prettier girl became available.

[@Smidgen-x4i]

Who made the decision to win yesterday's game? Who doesn't understand the words, NO 1 DRAFT PICK?

[@waynejohanson1083]

But the patriots were not going to draft a QB anyways as Maye is the man now.

[@Smidgen-x4i]

If you have the NO. 1, you can trade down and get more picks. It's like money in the bank no matter where you spend it.

Whether or not he deserves to be fired is questionable. What is unquestionable is that he never deserved to be hired.

Mayo should never have been hired in the first place. He's not ready to be an NFL coach. It was amateur hour all year long. I'm surprised he didn't get another year, but his firing was inevitable because he just doesn't have what it takes to command a team and get the best out of his players. Give Kraft credit for admitting his error and charting a new course.

Kraft doesn’t just watch the games on Sunday like the rest of us. He knows what’s going on with this team every day. A full season is enough to know if they have faith in the head coach or not. Kraft and the organization are well aware of the talent level of the roster, they are still able to see if the coaches are doing the right things every day

[@waynejohanson1083]

Should not be fired after only 1 season. You got to give a coach more time then that. Plus I doubt any coach could win with this team. Remember folks Mayo is not throwing the ball, catching it, running with it, Blocking or tackling. He had very little to work with.

[@santanah.6897]

If he was wht he would’ve gotten at least 3 years as HC….

[@waynejohanson1083]

@@santanah.6897 I don't know about that at all. I don't think this has anything to do with race unless Kraft is racist which I doubt, but totally agree on given a guy only 1 year to turn around a team is ridiculous. A coach needs 2 to 3 years to see what he can do.

[@levishorkie2554]

It’s not hard to figure it out. Watch his introductory press conference where he says he sees color in everything. Check out the initial reaction of the fans to that video. Mayo was finished before he got started because he was a DEI hire preaching DEI values.

[@ka74]

Feel sorry for the man, and person, but whoa was he underprepared and unqualified for the job that was gift wrapped to him. Great leaders of men don't shy away from learning before doing and doing before teaching. He has been taking short cuts since he left the NFL as a player just expecting that his personality would make up for the incompetence and on the big stage under the bright lights it came back to bite him. He may be a good coach in another 5-7 years of real coordinator, playcalling, ops and management experience but what a sham to expect that others would just sign up to do that while he bounced from meeting to meeting and handshake to handshake thinking he could just stand on others' shoulders.

[@waynejohanson1083]

I don't feel sorry one bit for Patriot fans. You had your glory days. Now you can see what it is like for the rest of us. You have you 6 Super Bowls while the Browns have never been to one. Be grateful for what you had. Did you think it was going to last forever.

Watch his press conference when Kraft introduced him as HC. He basically called Kraft an old white racist dude. You could see it in Kraft’s eyes that he knew he made a massive mistake. That DEI crap doesn’t go well in locker rooms, and he proved it this year.

Wow. Brady & Belichick really gave Patriots fans unrealistic expectations. Jerod's first year wasn't great. But it was his FIRST YEAR. Chris & many fans are so upset about how Jerod speaks to the media but don't want to be honest about the bad roster. Same team that had the exact same record last year. The team has been awful for the past few years. So it's going to take time & patience to reverse that. Patriots fans look entitled & irrational like Lakers fans.

[@murrethmedia]

The way a coach speaks to the media along with controlling what the players say IS a part of the job, and a very important one. But to me the biggest issue was the mistakes he made on the field. Making mistakes when you're new is fine, but he kept making the same mistakes over and over, like making terrible decisions on when and when not to go for it on 4th down, horrible end of half/game clock management and on and on. That's why he had to go.

But he kept making the same mistakes over and over again and in this league you CAN make mistakes, but you can't KEEP making them. I'm hoping for anyone but Vrabel.
