Jerod Mayo hasn’t exactly made life easy on himself during his first season as Patriots head coach.
Not only have the 3-12 Patriots struggled on the field, but those expected growing pains for both a flawed roster and a rookie head coach have been magnified by his ill-advised musings to the media after losses.
Be it Mayo labeling his team as “soft” after a loss to the Jaguars in London or seemingly throwing offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt under the bus after a loss to the Cardinals earlier this month, Mayo’s comments have served as unnecessary distractions in what has already been an arduous football season.
