I feel this short is oddly fitting to consider the Mayo saga.

To say Mayo was way in over his head would be a massive understatement.

That’s why BB kept him in the booth and not on the sidelines……

I mean good on him for saying that he's the one to blame but the thing ISIS anybody with 3 or 4 brain cells floating around knew that it was gonna be a fucking goat fuck especially for him to say oh he just didn't have the experience to be in that position yeah and what the hell has changed since last January he had the same amount of coaching experience when you hired him that you are now saying wasn't enough. If kraft had a line employee at kraft packaging or whatever the heck it's called who worked there often on for 7 or 8 years went to work for another company for a couple years then came back as a mid-level manager for 4 years would he then make the guy the fucking CEO of his company? no not unless he was complete dementia patient.

More On Jerod Mayo's Firing: Succession Plan, Hiring Process, Stevenson Benching

Before the Patriots named Jerod Mayo as HC, the team's succession plan showed cracks. Read more on PFR.

A better explanation of the whole shit show…

While Mayo has been the only Patriots leader to lose their job, executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf has also drawn his fair share of criticism. The front office leader took some accountability for the team’s disappointing 2024 showing while admitting that some of the Patriots’ younger players didn’t develop as expected (specifically WRs Ja’Lynn Polk and Javon Baker).

“I would say that I guess personally, what I was expecting is maybe a little bit more internal development, which is a good lesson certainly heading into next year. And that you can’t always rely on that,” Wolf said (via The Herald). “The rookie receivers didn’t have it really that much for us.”

oh look,wolf has a bus too!🙄

I'm guessing that bill probably cut off communications with people on his staff if they were running to kraft behind his back i.e. Mayo

It's 100% on Kraft. He made an emotional decision and it backfired massively.

I feel we all saw tough times coming, but the news coming out of Mayo's incompetence only makes me question Kraft more.

If his succession plan was Mayo, why jump the gun so early?

If Mayo was "his guy", why did he not surround him with experienced assistants to help lighten the load?

Another thing that jumps at me is the whole "HC in waiting" speculation. If Mayo had been hired elsewhere, wouldn't it make more sense to hire him if he was successful once he got experience?

Vrabel was available last year, so it would've been a much smoother process to move from BB to Vrabel. But Kraft was so in his ego he wanted things his way.

This set the team back a couple of years. His only saving grace is Maye fell in on their laps. Somehow even with all the dysfunction they didn't screw him up. And it even appears Pats lucked out on Milton, too.

If not, this team would be headed directly to the NFL purgatory due to the negligence in decision making by Bob.

I would say he's senile, but this wouldn't explain the attempted smear campaign on BB on his way out.

He really thought Bill Belichick was the only thing wrong with the organization. That's the only explanation.
 
A great QB hides a lot of coaching warts.

Paul Brown had Otto Graham, the Tom Brady of his day.

Bill Walsh had some terrible records before Joe Montana took over the reins.

Chuck Noll had to wait for Terry Bradshaw to grow into a NFL caliber QB, but after that happened, the Steelers were a dynastic team.

These are all HOF coaches, and they all had the acumen to build teams around those QBs and install good systems, but for those teams (and for Belichick with Brady), it was all about the QB.

There are other coaches (Joe Gibbs and Bill Parcells and Tom Coughlin) who can build teams and win with a JAG at QB, and if that JAG has a career year, then they can win championships.

I think Vrabel could be a coach in the mold of those last three I mentioned - he had Ryan Tannehill as a QB, and Tannehill was a converted WR who turned into an acceptable NFL QB. But Tannehill competed during what will be thought of as the Golden Age of NFL QBs (Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, Ben Roethlisberger, Aaron Rodgers) and he just wasn't at that level.

Give Vrabel one of the top QBs in the league, and perhaps he'll have Coughlin-like success. It's not a guarantee, nothing is in the NFL, but I think it's a good fit for the Patriots, and going down that path is a reasonable decision.
