Patriots Fire Jerod Mayo After One Season; Mike Vrabel Interviewing
Jan 5, 2025, 10:20 PM
The New England Patriots have fired head coach Jerod Mayo after just one season, following a disappointing 4-13 record. The decision was announced shortly after the team's Week 18 victory over the Buffalo Bills, a win that cost the Patriots the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Owner Robert Kraft issued a statement saying, "I have given much thought and consideration as to what actions I can take to expedite our return to championship contention and determined this move was the best option at this time." Mayo, a former Patriots linebacker and assistant coach, was appointed as the successor to Bill Belichick but struggled in his inaugural season. The firing marks a significant change for the franchise, which had stability at the head coach position for 24 years under Belichick but will now be searching for its third head coach in as many seasons. Reports indicate that former Patriots player and ex-Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel is interviewing for the position.
