When asked on Thursday what he was looking for in the New England Patriots’ next head coach, owner Robert Kraft had one thought in mind.
“We’re looking for someone who can help us get back to the playoffs and win,” he said. “So I promise you I’ll be focused to do the best I can do to make sure we’re putting ourselves in the best long term position to win for many years.”
That someone is apparently Jerod Mayo, as New England anointed the current assistant as the team's next head coach just one day after mutually parting ways with head coach Bill Belichick.
