Patriots Fire Jerod Mayo

After losing their final game of the 2024-2025 season and ultimatley losing the number one overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots have fired Jerod Mayo. Mayo coached the Patriots to a 4-13 season in his first year as an NFL Head Coach. Just a few hours after the Pats final game of the season, the Patriots released this statement from owner, Robert Kraft.



The idea of Mayo being fired was mainly floated around by fans after a poor season, but for most of the year, it felt like something that would never materialize. This season had a few bright spots but was littered with bad moments. Even with the poor press conferences from coaches and players, the off-field distractions, and what felt like a scheduled weekly loss, this is a season that should have easily had an overall positive outlook going into the next year solely based on the way that Drake Maye looked. Now, combine that with the production of Christian Gonzalez, Hunter Henry, Pop Douglas, and Kayshon Boutte emerging at the end of the season; it should have been a slam dunk for Pats fans to look forward to the future. However, it wasn’t, and it felt like Mayo was involved in that, whether directly or indirectly, as the reason for the negativity.

It will be very interesting to see who fills the Head Coaching spot. It seems like everyone has their choice already, but I hope the Patriots take their time and actually do a hiring process this time.
