So they're replacing Belichick with a guy in Meyo that only coached and played under Belichick? and they are expecting new things to happen? I guess it's possible depending who he brings in as his OC but tbh I think I would have looked elsewhere especially when the team's weakness was on offense.

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 

 

Best thing he can do is retain Bill O'Brien, imo. I'm not a huge BOB fan but he knows how to run an offense and Bailey Zappe loves him and seemed to thrive under him. As did Watson in Houston.

 

So obviously, I hope BOB takes a job somewhere else. Maybe join Kiffin's staff in Bama.

I wouldn’t say zappe thrived.  Decent back up I guess.

 

i do think O’Brien is a good OC limited by bad qbs and lack of playmakers,

Thrived for a QB of Zappe's level, I should have said.

 

Kinda like saying "She's my hottest cousin".

I love this hire as a Bills fan.

 

Not saying Mayo isn't a brilliant guy with potential to be a great football head coach. But...I mean, come on. The Patriots are a mess and they needed to completely clean house and start from scratch. This isn't doing that.

Cheats are going to finish last in the afc East again next year. That hire was jetsy.

 

Maybe. Don't underestimate the Jets to do Jets things. They are the Kings of suckage after all.

I think one of the more interesting things about the Mayo promotion is there is a good chance a high percentage of assistant coaches as well as position coaches are retained. Would make it harder on Belichick to round out his own coaching staff should be land a new HC job.

In Mayo.. NE hires a thinly experienced, defensive mind to try and rebuild a club with mostly offensive problems.

 

I can't imagine they conducted many (if any) interviews. Where's the due diligence?

 

What are their plans at GM? That may be the bigger nut here. Belichick ran them into the ground. They need someone with the philosophy:

 

You've got to have a franchise quarterback.

--Brandon Beane, 2018

 

With Mayo, I think the Patriots are going to begin a drought. Maybe a solid GM pick will prevent that.

This Mayo hire is a big W for the Bills... their offense will continue to be a handicap. All this guy knows is the Belichick Way and has zero experience with offensive football. 

 

Now we are going to see who is going to be the GM of this s-show... that will tell us a lot. If it is an uninspiring hire we may have TWO division rivals with severe self-inflicted limitations and a third with big contract decisions coming up and I love it!

Who cares? 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?

Actually, I didn't know it would be Mayo, once Vrabel became available.
