Little went right for Jerod Mayo during his lone season as head coach of the New England Patriots.
Beyond the Patriots’ struggles on the field en route to a 4-13 record, Mayo routinely put himself in hot water during his meetings with the media — delivering ill-advised sound bites that often served as distractions in the days leading up to games.
While quotes like “You said it, I didn’t” came back to bite Mayo as he seemingly deflected blame and issued mixed messaging about roster decisions, some of his postgame comments also put his roster in a bad light.
