Dat Posted January 12 Posted January 12 33 minutes ago, The Frankish Reich said: I'm not seeing any info about what they're doing for a GM. I assume Mayo won't get the BB full control thing. Belichick‘s dog has a clause in his contract to take over, we all know he’s been running things for awhile now anyway. 3 Quote
Doc Posted January 12 Posted January 12 Gonna be a tough sell for FA's for the Cheaters. Rookie HC, rookie QB and the Bills and Dols in the division. 1 1 Quote
FLFan Posted January 12 Posted January 12 This is actually great news for the Bills for the foreseeable future. A very inexperienced coach. He could be the second coming and will still have a steep learning curve, and difficulty in attracting a top flight coaching staff I would think. It will be interesting to see what they do on the management front. 1 1 1 Quote
Rigotz Posted January 12 Posted January 12 35 minutes ago, Doc said: He's been in-line to get the job for years. It would be a bad look to go back on it. He's been in-line to get the job for years? He's 37 years old and got his first coaching gig as Inside Linebackers coach in 2019. Quote
nedboy7 Posted January 12 Posted January 12 The players wanted him and seems like a solid choice. Quote
Rubes Posted January 12 Posted January 12 I mean, I get that he's promising, but why would you hire a guy as your LB coach and include a clause in the contract that he gets to succeed Belichick as the head coach? The LB coach? Quote

Big Turk Posted January 12 Posted January 12 49 minutes ago, Logic said: They must have really liked what they saw from Mayo to hire him so quickly. I can't imagine a tougher job in football than following Bill Belichick in New England. He has pretty much been the coach in waiting apparently 3 minutes ago, Rubes said: I mean, I get that he's promising, but why would you hire a guy as your LB coach and include a clause in the contract that he gets to succeed Belichick as the head coach? The LB coach? He effectively was the DC this year apparently. Quote
Roundybout Posted January 12 Posted January 12 1 minute ago, Doc said: I first heard about him being their next HC in 2022. Yeah, I think that’s why they had the formal press conference announcing Mayo’s extension. He’s been the guy for a while. 1 1 Quote

The LB coach? There a clause in his contract to become HC when he was hired as their LB coach? 1 Quote
hondo in seattle Posted January 12 Posted January 12 From ILB coach to HC? Seems like quite a jump. 2 Quote

MPL Posted January 12 Posted January 12 They had answers for Josh Allen this year, and word is that that was all Mayo. It seems like a solid hire as of right now. Quote

TrentEdwardsCheckDownOn4th Posted January 12 Posted January 12 Reading the pats message board / reddit is just hilarious. They absolutely DO NOT approve of this move. Most fans wanted the organization to at least do their due diligence and interview other candidates. Many question what will be different under Mayo vs. Bill... ? Its still the same defense, and Mayo isn't an offensive minded. Some fans are even convinced that Kraft is on the verge of sending the franchise spiraling out of control. Quote
Rubes Posted January 12 Posted January 12 21 minutes ago, Doc said: There a clause in his contract to become HC when he was hired as their LB coach? That's what it sounded like. He was designated the successor to Belichick in his contract, so they're saying. Quote
KingBoots8 Posted January 12 Posted January 12 How would that work so fast? Aren’t they obligated to interview outside the org to meet all the interview rules and regulations? pardon my ignorance- I guess I didn’t realize you could just put it in someone’s contract and skip past the interview process Quote
Dick_Cheney Posted January 12 Posted January 12 Honestly pretty incredible to be named a head coach, let alone the Patriots head coach, after only having coached in any capacity for 5 years. 1 1 Quote
