Jerod Mayo has had a rough first season as head coach of the New England Patriots.
While few expected the Patriots to be a competitive roster this fall, New England has regressed in several areas — especially on the defensive side of the ball — en route to a disappointing 3-11 record.
Not only has the execution and discipline on the field left lots to be desired, but Mayo has regularly made life difficult on himself due to ill-advised remarks to the media.
Whether it be calling his players “soft” after a loss to the Jaguars in London or seemingly throwing Alex Van Pelt under the bus for his play-calling on Sunday in Arizona, Mayo has drawn plenty of headlines for all the wrong reasons with his postgame comments.
