Report: Eagles to interview Patriots coaching assistant Jerod Mayo for head coaching vacancy

New England Patriots linebackers coach Jerod Mayo will interview with the Philadelphia Eagles for the head coaching vacancy this week, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. This will be Mayo’s first head coaching interview.

Mayo, nominally, serves as the inside linebacker coach, but it seems his responsibilities are fairly expansive. How expansive? Bill Belichick won’t clarify.

New England has not had a defensive coordinator since Matt Patricia left in 2017. Brian Flores acted as the de-facto defensive coordinator before taking the Dolphins hech coaching job. And now, Steve Belichick, currently the outside linebackers coach, is calling plays for the defense.
