Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla offers up support for Jerod Mayo

We’re on to the Mayo Era.

Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla paid tribute to Bill Belichick’s 24-year run in Foxborough by donning a cut-off sweatshirt before Boston’s road game against the Bucks on Jan. 11.

But with Jerod Mayo formally introduced as the 15th head coach in Patriots history on Wednesday afternoon, Mazzulla backed New England’s new sideline leader prior to Boston’s matchup against the Spurs at TD Garden.

Mazzulla — a Rhode Island native — already has plenty of connections with New England’s coaching staff, especially with another promising coach in his mid-30s like Mayo.
