Bill Belichick’s successor becomes the first one-and-done coach under Robert Kraft’s ownership. The team is expected to target Vrabel.

    I haven’t followed the Pats and Mayo closely, but no one was going to win with this roster. We sure the Pats front office is seeing reality?

      Team regressed all season long other than a hand full of players, he was constantly saying stuff he had to walk back all season long because he sucked with the media, then when we finally are at the end of the 1st rebuild year, he throws the 1OA pick away just for an extra W.

      I really liked him at the start, and even as recently as a few weeks ago preferred to keep him over forcing Drake Maye to go through a coaching staff turnover in year 2. But the last few weeks have really shown that he is not ready for a HC spot yet.

      Anyone following Belichick was going to fall short of filling the shoes he left behind. Mayo was set up to fail so that they could hire the next coach who would be saddled as Bill’s “successor.” I thought they would have given him two years at least, but he did struggle with the media part of the job.

      As a fan, the Pats haven’t seen reality for years now
