They gave Jerod a shot. He just stunk up the joint. You can have a bad team but the culture was worse, putting the team under the bus. And the Rooney Rule sucks
The Rooney rule is actually racist. All it does is force teams to waste the time of a couple minority coaches that weren’t being seriously considered for merit reasoning’s and not race. No teams in 2025 are passing on a great coach because of their skin color.
This is a team sport he didn’t have people to help him succeed. They expected him to do everything in his first year. This seems so unreasonable for anyone coming in with lack of experience.
@brucelee4357 I respect your point, but if he didn't feel ready, he should've told the Kraft's he wasn't. This is all on him. I also believe he would've had a second chance if there was a better environment. Him calling his team soft, blaming his coaches is Super unprofessional. We as fans know better. He learned nothing from belichick.
Why is everyone forgetting that jerod had a contract clause that let's him take over after bill, I think that's the only reason why he got that job to begin with.
Exactly. Heard him say "they didn't want him before", did not hear him say anything about the clause that forced Kraft to hire Mayo, left this comment, downvoted the video, and clicked out.
Tell me you're not a pats fan without telling me. They didnt pass over Vrabel last year, they couldnt hire him because theyd written the HC gig into Mayos contract
I said from the time Bill Bellicheck left that Vrabel was the guy, I was so disappointed in the Mayo fire because I thought Mayo had so much potential too but he just wasn't ready, only had lb coaching experience I thought Vrabel was the guy to get and if he did bad after all that time maybe promote Mayo after Mayo has years as our DC. But nah instead Mayo got fed to the wolves for no apparent reason when we could've got Vrabel last year.
It’s day and light look at how they are setting up Vrabel for success. Mayo is black he was the minority fall guy. Vrabel is white he’s set up to succeed. I saw this coming a year ago.
Literally what the fuck about anything that Mayo did gave you hope for his potential? He was terrible. We were one of the top defenses in the league before him. Mayo isn’t even qualified to lick Vrabels boot. He has zero experience.
*It was in his contract whether he was ready or not that he would be the next coach after Bill. Yes the team lacked talent last year…but Mayo did himself ZERO favors with the way he conducted himself on and off the field.*
Wrong!! Mayo had A Lot of chance for success. He did nothing for years, to prepare, when he knew that he'd be the next HC. there was NO positive progress this past season. It was all failure and finger pointing....no Accountability. You made a flawed point.
@@jimb8830 this is what I’ve been saying this whole time bro had it in his contract to be the next head coach and still did absolutely nothing with that info except call the team soft if they soft you knew it before you became the head coach
Mike Vrabel: I accept being the HC of the Patriots.....and I'm bringing Josh McDaniels back as OC for the third time. Me: Can the Patriots stop chugging the member berries!?

But Mayo never developed his roster, and no cohesion with his coaches and constantly made remarks on a weekly basis that he’d have to walk back. This all goes along with him being completely unprepared and incompetent at managing the game on the field.*
The only positive thing I can say about Mayo head coach wise is that he helped Elliot land us our franchise qb. As a player and linebacker coach different story, he was a great player and a good linebacker coach.
I’m hoping so. I just hope he can mold to a modern NFL Offense. Drake isn’t Tom or Mac, using his athletic talents is going to be vital. I think Josh is smart as a coordinator so as for now, I’m hopeful.
Why'd they hire Mayo and then fire him only to hire Vrabal a year later? Contractual obligations under a designated successor clause, which Mayo was to Belichik. This is how they were able to hire Mayo without doing any Rooney rule interviews, and no hiring a minority coach doesn't get out of the Rooney rule obligations, you still gotta interview two minority candidates from outside the organization (yep it's a dumb rule all the way around but it is what it is).
its not a dumb rule studies show that when only one minority candidate is interviewed as opposed to multiple candidates minority hire rates go down exponentially
“He wasn’t good enough for them before..” well maybe he was, Jerod Mayo had in his contract that he was the coach in waiting. Hard to dispute that.🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
I think they were technically contractually obligated to hire Mayo, but they didn’t even Vrabel to become available and I think there were some indications that they just kind of let Mayo fend for himself and set him up to fail so they could make this move all along. Genuinely feel bad for the guy and hope he lands on his feet somewhere else
That dude Mike Vrabel, he just might be the best athlete to ever be born in akron and get drafted to play professional sports* (Not named Lebron James or Stephen Curry)
Mayo could’ve had multiple years and I still don’t think it would’ve worked out. I knew it, the Krafts knew it and hopefully many others knew it as well. Glad we got a real coach and coaching staff back in NE
Absolutely moronic take. Mayo didn't get a chance???? There were improvements????He had a YEAR. In that year he proved himself an utterly awful HC. A terribly managed team.
What are you talking about? They didn't "pass Vrabel over" they were contractually obligated to give Mayo the job. Secondly, it is possible for an HC to be dysfunctional enough to be fired after 1yr. That doesn't mean they "didn't get a shot." They did, they just choked on it that bad.
Mayo also didn’t do a single thing whatsoever to move forward with this team nothing no matter how bad the team sucked and with everyone being first year
Tf are you talking about he "wasn't good enough for them before?" They had in Mayos contract for 5 years (y'know while Vrabes was coaching the titans), that mayo was gonna take over and Vrabes didn't become available until after the Pats were already committed to Mayo. Get your facts straight
Jerod Mayo was “officially hired” to be the Head Coach on I believe Jan 12th. Vrabel was fired on Jan 9th. Now I’m aware Mayo was the guy that was expected to get the job, but Vrabel was fired before Mayo was officially named HC.
@JDProdNFL dude it was already in Mayos contract, it was official 5 years ago. It was announced on the 12th. Not the same thing. They were locked in to a contract with Mayo because they had no idea vrabel was gonna be available
I wouldn’t say Vrabel wasn’t “good enough” for us last year. Seemed more like Kraft just rushed through everything in a desperate attempt to make it look like BB was the only problem. Sucks for Mayo being put in a no win situation like that, but hopefully now everyone can move forward.
5:40 Yes and no, Mayo kinda proved himself to not be the greatest hc pushing woke initiatives and losing the locker room within weeks instead of focusing on helping the roster develop and focusing on football instead of politics. I remember the NE media was saying during training camp in July several players were already arguing with Mayo and fighting, very bad sign not being able to discipline your players and uplift your players.
Exactly. This guy said under Mayo at the 5:40 mark "there were signs of improvement and hope for the future." I would say, please identify alleged signs of improvement. Cause there weren't any. I was watching the games.
@ He wants to give Mayo the benefit of the doubt because Mayo has been an important part of the Patriots and Mayo was a rookie hc. I love JD's videos but he also thought Mac Jones would have a breakout year in 2023 and the Patriots would be a sleeper team and bounce back from 2022, it was a disaster of course comparable to Mayo's first year. Everyone can be wrong about things though we're only human, not an insult towards JD at all. I was excited for Mayo too and thought he would be a good coach that could get us to 7-9 wins until I saw him try and lecture everyone about how we need to see race in all of our players but yet it doesn't matter and how he did next to nothing to stop the fights in training camp. I think what really affirmed it was when he called our players 'soft' and then they got mad and stopped giving their 100%. Belichick NEVER downed his players as tough as he was on them and he never called them 'weak' if we got blown out after a game.
JFrauds resume ever since he retired is filled with name recognition hires and promotions he’s not a smart guy everything the media boasted about was an absolute fraud. To say he wasn’t ready is an insult to guys who actually do the work so stop acting like he’s owed some compassion. The guy never learned, he thought he was smart calling himself a CEO coach so if shit hit the fan he can do what he’s always done and blame someone else, But when you get to the top the fingers only point in one direction.
Good video but there needs to be a correction. Mayo was contractually guaranteed to get the HC job. It's been reported that the Patriots would've prefered Vrabel last year but had already promised Mayo the job and that was reflected in his contract.
Also, your point about comparing Maye vs Daniels & Nix would've been a lot stronger considering the amount of experience they had in college. Kinda the main reason there is so much optimism and most considered he over-performed.
You know why they got rid of mayo, horrible coach complete DEI hiring his first interview was so bad. I knew we were gonna be terrible. Everything he did was dumb, including not striding Maye.
@if travis hunter can do anything close to what he did in college he’ll be one of the most talented players in nfl history…Kyle dugger, Gonzalez and hunter would be the start to one of the best defenses in the nfl and maye would be wayyyy better with someone he can actually throw the ball to…they’d be way better than the Mac jones patriots ever where and I wouldnt be surprised if they snuck in the playoffs depending on how well the jets, bengals and dolphins play
Too early for a WR1. Someone said a WR is a cherry on top. Need to build a strong OL first. That will allow the WR to get separation. Get a pass rusher so that the other team doesn’t score
I do feel bad for Mayo I wish we could have somehow kept him in the building. Two things can be true at once. We certainly failed him but I dont think he was ready either
I think Robert Kraft was loyal to what he told Mayo.And every new rebel was getting fired.He wouldn't ever made that commitment.But robert kraused the person that will steam behind his word
The Commanders finally got lucky after decades of a clown show. When they show consistency over the next 3-5 years- then I’ll be a buyer. It wouldn’t shock me if they fell into last place next season.
RKK wanted Mike Vrabel as the next Pats HC the whole time but he couldn’t hire him because it was already in Jerod Mayo’s contract that he was gonna be BB’s successor & the next HC. If Robert hired Mike over Jerod when it was already in his contract RKK & the Pats would’ve faced a MASSIVE lawsuit. It’s not like Robert & the Pats didn’t give Jerod an opportunity because they definitely did. Was the team bad last season obviously but it’s an opportunity being HC regardless & that was his chance to create a new culture & he didn’t do that. He wouldn’t have gotten fired if he was actually doing his job & improving every week & not regressing every week. He called the team “soft” publicly,constantly threw coaches/players under the bus,& NEVER took accountability for anything. He literally chose to play cards with the players on the plane ride back home after the Cardinals game instead of watching,studying,& going over film like he should’ve been doing with the other coaches. He just wasn’t ready to be HC & deserved to be fired because the team was so dysfunctional & had so much friction that even the players started to not believe in him & his vision anymore. Once RKK had the opportunity to officially hire Mike Vrabel as the team’s next HC who he wanted the whole time that’s exactly what he did. Mike Vrabel is BB’s TRUE successor & I truly believe that & I wouldn’t doubt it that Robert feels the same way. Jerod Mayo is gone now & we are moving on to bigger & better things now. We are officially in the Mike Vrabel era as the Pats HC❤️💙
I do not feel bad at all for Jerrod. The first thing out of its mouth during his press conference was dei bull crap. So he clearly was a diversity higher. He should have never had the job in the first place. And now he's gone. So good.
Bill was the dude till he ran up against the Giants. The Giants stopped New England from winning 8 Super Bowls. If the Pats won 8 Super bowls it would’ve been a nightmare. Also the Pats were like the chiefs when it comes to flags for like two decades. Anyone bitching about the chiefs and their flags forgets about the two decades of shit calls the Pats got
It’s still the Bills division, but the dolphins are cooked now. I don’t think they finish higher than 3rd in the division from here on out. Jets remain in purgatory until woody Johnson leaves
dude had top 10 cap space and on the top 5 draft place and was able to bring that roster?? Drake was the only good player they drafted and maybe joe milton
I don't like this, mainly because I wanted Ben Johnson as I believe Ben would have been able to steer this team and this organization into new and innovative direction. Now, we have Vrabel and considering the hype around him and knowing how Tennessee didn't end all that well I have my concerns and plenty of expectations. I expect the team to improve and find a way to be average or even above average next season but within the next 3 years I need to see this team win at least 10 games in a season and win the AFC East. No, I don't care about who is in Buffalo, go through Josh Allen if you really wanna be a tough team. 2028 is when the Patriots must be fullt recognized as contenders once again.
Overrated head coach, overrated offensive coordinator... The Patriot way was all Tom Brady being on the team as he proved when he left for The Bucs... This about to flop, bookmark this
Tom Brady wouldn't even get the opportunity he needed or the development that was necessary unless he was a Patriot. You think Tom could succeed with the Chargers or the Falcons? Please. 😂😂😂
hating on a head coach who has proved himself worthy of turning teams around is crazy work even if he does flop he’s got more NFL games won than you 🤷♂️

It’s still the Bills division, but the dolphins are cooked now. I don’t think they finish higher than 3rd in the division from here on out. Jets remain in purgatory until woody Johnson leaves
Because they had mayo as bills successor im writing that's why they didn't hire him last year
the pats don't have to hire a black coach for a least another few years now
dude had top 10 cap space and on the top 5 draft place and was able to bring that roster?? Drake was the only good player they drafted and maybe joe milton
I don't like this, mainly because I wanted Ben Johnson as I believe Ben would have been able to steer this team and this organization into new and innovative direction. Now, we have Vrabel and considering the hype around him and knowing how Tennessee didn't end all that well I have my concerns and plenty of expectations.
I expect the team to improve and find a way to be average or even above average next season but within the next 3 years I need to see this team win at least 10 games in a season and win the AFC East. No, I don't care about who is in Buffalo, go through Josh Allen if you really wanna be a tough team. 2028 is when the Patriots must be fullt recognized as contenders once again.
Seriously, where’s mop head guy? Tired of the guy on speed
Get ready for the media calling out race again. Just like how The Celtics let go off Ime (again they still hired a black coach after Ime left)
Which is crazy bc half the league is black players. Why aren’t they making a fuss about over representation of black players? lol
Drake maye had the worst roster out of all the rookie qbs playing less games too u cant compare them its just not fair
Not a huge fan of the McDaniels hire, I don’t know how well he can develop Maye
He made Mac Jones a pro bowler his rookie year.
Y'all got josh looking hella chubs 😂😂😂
maybe my pats get Nick Chubb
.. Josh got Josh looking hills chubs.
pats are going to be fun to watch next season
Ya, as a fan of any other team.
YOUR EVERYTHING WRONG WITH PATRIOTS FANS
Overrated head coach, overrated offensive coordinator... The Patriot way was all Tom Brady being on the team as he proved when he left for The Bucs... This about to flop, bookmark this
Tom Brady wouldn't even get the opportunity he needed or the development that was necessary unless he was a Patriot. You think Tom could succeed with the Chargers or the Falcons? Please. 😂😂😂
hating on a head coach who has proved himself worthy of turning teams around is crazy work even if he does flop he’s got more NFL games won than you 🤷♂️
