cle23 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) Multiple reports are that his contract made him the successor, and that to avoid Rooney Rule, it means that the succession was put into writing at least before this season started. Basically means this was the plan all along. Edited January 12 by cle23 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Mayo was promised the job or in his contract, but they didnt even interview an outside candidate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmart128 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 So Patriots are forced to hire Mayo... what a dumb decision to make before you even see potential canidates. This team sucks whats the point in hiring a coach from a failed coaching staff. I dont know about you but i would not wanna keep what Belichick has been heading towards. They needed new juice and an external canidate at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 It was obviously the plan all along. They wanted to keep Mayo last year when he was getting interview requests so they included this clause in the contract. He is very highly rated as a defensive brain and was an excellent player but I watched Mangini on Cowherd yesterday and he made a very good point. He has only ever played and coached in New England under Bill Belichick. While he is no doubt his own personality and his own man, at the same time you have to question has he seen enough of other approaches to really change the way things run in New England? And what are they doing about GM? They presumably need to hire a General Manager to run personnel for him. The Bills got criticised by some for giving a first time Head Coach in McDermott power over the draft in year 1 and then power to handpick his own GM right after that draft. But McDermott at least had a track record of some success in a coordinator position and had been on the staff of two successful franchises in Philadelphia and Carolina who had made Superbowls so had seen the way good organisations run and operate. While Mayo saw that as a player, he has no track record as a fully blown DC. He wasn't even de-facto DC as he shared that with Belichick's son and he has not been with the Patriots as a coach for any meaningful success. Two one and done playoff runs is all he has seen. Now he gets the HC job by default and presumably a say in who his GM is. It is going to be an internal candidate presumably because he doesn't know anyone external!! 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuvian Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 does this mean you can promote a minority candidate from within without interviewing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had an opportunity to get Mike Vrabel and the totally fumbled this hiring. I really like Vrabel but are we sure Mayo can’t be a really good one too? You have no idea until a guy gets a chance. They love him. and if it wasn’t Belichick (and I get why), any other coach would have been fired halfway through last year. He has been horrible the last 2 years. The Pats get a top 5 pick and will get a qb who will be better than buttcheeks Max Jones. They have zero playmakers. If they hire a GM who is not terrible (Belichick was so bad at that too), they will upgrade their talent big time. They are definitely the worst team in the division at this point. But they have no where to go but up. They were a joke the last 2 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo1105 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Well he’ll get a shot because he’ll have the opportunity to get a franchise QB and that kid is going to determine his success as a HC. Mayo needs to hire a young relatable OC for his new QB. Him being a defensive guy goes against the trend but you can still be successful as a former DC if you get the guy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what the exact wording of the Rooney Rule is but if you give an internal candidate a clause in their contract promising a job it might not be an "open" position. 7 minutes ago, PromoTheRobot said: Didn't this move give the Patriots a comp draft pick?

It hits the minority rule on all aspects which is why that interview process has your view of required candidates. Everyone knew it was going to be him prior to Vrabel. Both played for the culture of winning at that club. They were always hiring one of their guys, so why bother interviewing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Day 10 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Interesting pick. Kraft really going all in on Mayo. By all accounts he is a brilliant man, but being CEO of an NFL football program is a unique and difficult gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
