The New England Patriots’ coaching staff will look different in 2022. But while the team has to replace at least two of its offensive coaches — coordinator Josh McDaniels and assistant quarterbacks coach Bo Hardegree — it appears the defensive staff might just stay in place.
With all nine head coaching vacancies around the league now filled, after all, it seems likely that inside linebackers coach Jerod Mayo will stay put.
Mayo was invited for two interviews this hiring cycle. He reportedly performed well both times, but neither the Denver Broncos nor the Las Vegas Raiders ended up hiring him: the Broncos went with Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, while the Raiders brought McDaniels aboard to team up with new general manager and fellow ex-Patriot Dave Ziegler.
