With Bill Belichick turning 71 next month, the Patriots could be in the market for a head coach within the next few years.
The team prioritized keeping Jerod Mayo this offseason, stating that they plan to keep him with New England “long-term.”
Could Mayo be the next Patriots head coach? Several of his former New England teammates think so, according to The Athletic.
“He’s Bill Belichick 2.0,” former Patriots linebacker Brandon Spikes said. “They speak the same language.”
This offseason, Mayo had an interview lined up for the Carolina Panthers head coaching job but informed the team that he would be staying with the Patriots.
