This is a lot of speculation without much fact.
The last news was Mayo came back at a much lower title than fake pundits were claiming.
And remember how wrong media clowns were about Nick Caley as well.
Facts:
- Steve Belichick has been the playcaller multiple seasons. Play caller is usually the main guy on any coordinator unit
- Steve Belichick has turned multiple units into elite ones going back almost 10 yrs now. Whether it’s safeties, corners, entire secondary, outside linebackers, or entire defense, Steve Belichick has been great
- Jerod Mayo’s defenses as a player routinely could not stop key 3rd downs. Jerod Mayo also never won a ring because the defense was not championship caliber
Being a nice locker room coach does not mean he’s suddenly the heir apparent.
Bill O’Brien has the most experience on staff and is the most qualified. BOB is the only one on the coaching staff to have been a NFL Head Coach and won NFL division titles in 4 different NFL seasons.
