Jerod Mayo is glad to see his former boss and predecessor back in the coaching game.
The Patriots head coach congratulated Bill Belichick a day after he was officially introduced as North Carolina’s next head coach.
“Happy for him,” Mayo told reporters on Friday. “He’s a good coach. He should be coaching. I’m sure he’s going to do a good job out there. Wish him nothing but the best.”
The move sent some shockwaves throughout the football world as Belichick has never held an official coaching position in college. But in between the time it was first reported that Belichick was talking with the school and his hiring, Mayo told WEEI’s “The Greg Hill Show” that he could see his former coach succeed at the college level.
