What we do know is Mayo feels like an ace. He fits the profile of a coach fit to modernize the Patriots organization: a man who connects with today's generation of players, injects life into a room and commands it, is well-regarded for his Xs and Os and known as a sharp, independent thinker. Translation: not a poorly executed Belichick impersonator, a la Eric Mangini or Joe Judge.
Commentary: Sure, Mayo is inexperienced, but he can modernize the organization and connects with today's generation, while commanding respect.
It’s official — the New England Patriots are moving on from Bill Belichick after 24 years.
Commentary: Mayo is a modernized, friendlier version of Belichick who has more of an open mind to understand what’s needed to succeed in today’s NFL.
