Even though their 2024 season ended only two days ago, the New England Patriots have already fully set their sights on the future.
It remains to be seen what that future will bring, but major changes will be one part of it: the Patriots fired their head coach, Jerod Mayo, within hours of their season finale. Who will take over for Mayo, and what will happen to the rest of the coaching staff and front office, remains to be seen.
What we do already know is who the new head coach will go up against.
