In an unexpected move, Jerod Mayo has been dismissed as head coach of the New England Patriots after just one season, the team confirmed on Sunday. The Patriots finished the 2024 season with a disappointing 4-13 record, marking Mayo’s brief tenure as one of the shortest in franchise history.
Patriots owner Robert Kraft expressed regret over the decision, acknowledging Mayo’s dedication and leadership both on and off the field. Despite strong early support, Kraft noted that the team’s performance throughout the season did not improve as expected. The Patriots are now set to search for a new head coach, with Mike Vrabel among the rumored candidates.
