It didn't take the long to find their replacement for
Isaac Yiadom Jersey departed head coach Bill Belichick, with whom the team parted ways on Thursday after 24 years. The Patriots on Friday to take over the top job.The reason it happened so quickly was simple: It was written into Mayo's previous contract with the team that he would be elevated to the head-coaching position to succeed Belichick. As our Tyler Sullivan noted, the team last offseason released an unprecedented statement saying it had engaged Mayo in
Davis Mills Jersey contract extension talks to keep him in New England and prevent him from opting for any head coaching opportunities elsewhereHow did Mayo become the head-coach-in-waiting? Well, it probably has at least something to do with the fact that just about all of the former Belichick a sistants who went on to become head coaches elsewhere in the ended up failing in those roles. Mayo is now the

Ross Blacklock Jersey of this group... yikes. Even O'Brien, who had a moderate degree of succe s in Houston, landed back in New England this past season and led an offense that averaged 13.9 points per game. Mayo was a very good player during his time in New England, winning Defensive Rookie of the Year, making the Pro Bowl twice and All-Pro team once, and winning a in 2014, although he was on injured reserve during the playoffs. He retired after the 2015 season, and was hired by New England to be the team's inside linebackers coach in 2019. He quickly became viewed as a potential succe sor to Belichick, and he ended
