Bill Simmons lays into Patriots’ Jerod Mayo for coaching ‘scared football’

Bill Simmons has never been one to shy away from sharing how he truly feels — especially about the New England Patriots.

It only took about 30 minutes for the Boston sports fan and founder of “The Ringer” to rip into Jerod Mayo’s coaching style in Week 12 against the Miami Dolphins.

“This spring, Jerod Mayo needs to find an author to help him write a book called Scared Football. Just throw all his scared concepts and strategies in there — passing up 4th and 1s, handing off on 3rd and 16 to set up 45 yard FGs, just rattle all of them off,” Simmons posted to X.
