- On Wednsday's edition of Felger and Mazz, Greg Bedard of the Boston Sports Journal joins the show and discusses what he's heard about the buyout of Jerod Mayo's contract if he wasn't signed as the head coach.
Robert Kraft just wants to be friends with Meek Mill, wear Air Force 1's and be seen as some type of cool grandpa figure. People debate Brady v Bill all the time but one things certain -- Kraft had very little to do with the success of the last 20 years.
Agreed. Makes you wonder how much of his reputation is manufactured.
He just wrote the checks he doesn't know the game at all
I disagree. He wants to win very badly. Or I’ll just upset because we’re not winning right now, but we are rebuilding to hopefully make something great. Personally, I’m giving it a three-year window. I believe they will be back in the playoffs in three years if they rebuild correctly.
The guy is shrewd. Bought old Foxboro Stadium when the Sullivans used it as collateral for a Michael Jackson tour that bombed.
Used the stadium's lease to scare off other owners when the team was put up for sale in the early 90s (also kept them in NE because of said lease).
Amen!!!
This franchise is finished. A biblical fall from grace.
Or it’s just the beginning of something great. I’m giving it a three-year window. I’m expecting my patriots to be back in the playoffs in three years. As long as they do everything correctly.
@@youtubeconnollyfamily I dont share your optimism
@@Michael-uu7zq sorry but I have to have some hope as a patriots fan. I’ll come back to this comment in three years. 😂
@youtubeconnollyfamily I would not say the start of something great. It's too soon to tell. The team was defunctual two years ago and only gotten worse.
Mayo can succeed if given the support and tools to do so.
The support being the front office and the tool being talented players.
If Wolf and Groh brings in talent on offense our Patriots will be fine.
@@youtubeconnollyfamily what ever you say, enjoy the number 1 pick in a few years
This situation was toxic. Mayo seems like a snake behind the scenes
Greg reported towards the end of the year it was like “game of thrones” in the building. It sounds like he is now accusing Mayo of being little finger.
Krafts really blew it. They just pushed this team back 2-3 years
Johnathan Kraft is the real head of personnel
I'm trying to move on and get with the new, but I can't help but to think of the swagger MV would've brought. Instead, we get training wheels
From 4-13 to 2-15...that is where this is headed.
I think Kraft didn’t bother buying him out because of the backlash and potential stories relating to racial bias that may have turned out if we decided to go in a different direction. Just feels like we got a guy nobody wants but have to stick with because of the color of his skin.
It sure sounds like Greg’s source about “people being upset with Mayo walking around like he already had the job, was Billy O. It seems painfully obvious, since he also brought up the issue in Houston. Not saying its incorrect, just connecting dotes.
Spinning it like they had to commit to Mayo because he had a $10M buyout is so dumb. Obviously, the reason Mayo had a $10M buyout is because they were already committed to him. These guys are so stupid and negative.
But why were they so committed to him? I've LITERALLY never heard of such a thing. I have never in my life known of an organization that had committed to basically a positional coach to be their next HC. They didn't even interview anyone for the position. That's insane. It's also stupid. A $10M buyout for mayo? That's criminal.
What is there to be positive about? I don't get your take
thanks for the autistic explanation...why did they need, so badly, for him to succeed the most prolific coach of all time? why such a need to commit to a zero experience guy for 10 mill?
Pats need new ownership
I'm starting to think the lack of spending wasn't on belichick. He's gone and they still seem cheap af.
@@mattl8774 it’s on the owners, even though it’s a different sport, my mariners are going though the exact same thing. The mariners makes the most revenue by far and our 95 million dollar owners still can’t put team spending up to league average.
The part that sucks for both of us, the only was to get rid of an owner is through death, the willingly selling the team or they go to prison. So my friend, we’re both gonna be stuck like this for a long long time
How did he even have a buyout he hasn’t had one season of DC guy literally has no head coaching experience shit baffles me
Kraft wanted him to be head coach. So they probably orchestrated a $2.5 mil for 4 years or $3.33 mil for 3 yr contract.
Y’all are not happy with what you got, now y’all want the old thing back, y’all suck
It should be Bill and Josh with Elliot in charge with personal.
good call - Kraft really blew it all up when the situation was very fixable with Belichick with a much shorter time frame. The Mayo era is looking more and more like a clown show
You know u got exactly what u were asking for...u booted the best coach ever cause Mac Jones like 76% of all 1st round picks didn't work out. So we are gonna get exactly what we deserve...:)
So why couldn't they have just maintained him as DC if they didn't want him as HC? This spin makes no sense.
Absolutely insane that Mayo had a $10 million buyout clause… I don’t understand it
He was about to leave to be the DC or HC of another team. They wanted him to succeed Belichick. They got him to stay by committing to him, which involved giving him the $10M buyout.
@@TXRhody no kidding, that's the literal explanation..he means the nonsensical nature of it ...why did they need, so badly, for him to succeed the most prolific coach of all time? why such a need to commit to a zero experience guy for 10 mill?

You guys are really difficult to listen too.. if Mayo hand picked his guy you would complain and say how do you know he’s the right one for the job if he didn’t interview other people and since he interviewed multiple people you criticize that he didn’t hand pick his guys… now I see why everyone hates Boston media you guys are overly critical and I’m wondering if it’s because head a black head coach because I doubt if BOB was the heir to become the head coach y’all wouldn’t be nearly as critical..it’s really shameful do better guys
This is gonna be a shit show. Hodge podge coaching staff, didn’t even bother interviewing other coaches, hired a defensive coach when the league is trending offense. Seems like they’re way too stuck in the past.
Perhaps Mayo knows something others don't know. Leverage is what it is.
it's going to be an interesting year for sure, I for one can't wait to see how all this plays out!
Season hasn’t even started and they are complaining constantly.
75/25 this Patriots fan is done with this organization....Chargers/Harbaugh looking better for my future fandom.
I hear ya..I'm just retiring from all of it
Bedard sh*ts on AVP but he’s high on macadu
There was a reason Mayo stayed last year.
You reap what you sow. Best of luck to the Krafts!! Hey at least he has corporate experience!! Every HC needs to work at a corporation going forward. The song and dance Felger does hinting around that the Krafts are cheap like just come out and say it.
Whaaaa whaaaa whaaa Michael "the sky is falling" Felger
Right? This dude is insufferable.
Mayo is solid. We know him, let's not play dumb. What is going to be around him is the question.
Wait and see.
If the NY GIANTS got Mahomes I think I’d have to stop watching football all together
NGL the giants would some how fuck that up
Man to the right dead silent
Hate to sound antisemitic but you know Krafts nationality and you know how that nationality is when it comes to money lol
I’m for the new alignment. The Brady Manning era is over. So I’m happy we have a new coach. Bill is a defensive genius. I think Kraft put that clause in, so he could keep Mayo because he believes in him.
Can’t wait until they go 3 and 14 with the DEI coach
With all woke crap he started promoting on day ZERO as the HC, I will be laughing my ass off....
You sound like a clown literally 75% of the staff are white dudes. You are the reason Boston has the reputation we do. So what we can only have an all white coaching staff?
Get ready prepare yourself to be like all these other idiotic teams just like other teams we will have coaches changing every 3-4 years welcome to suck city
