Nobody knows what Kraft is on, with the current state of the team why would you hire a rookie coach and put him that situation? everybody has been asking this from the jump

watch the next dude come in, probably Vrabel, win 7 games and be retained :mjpls:

IF YOURE TRYING TO LOSE A GAME
DOES IT MAKE MORE SENSE TO
START A ROOKIE WITH 11 STARTS
OR START A ROOKIE WHOS NEVER
TAKEN A SNAP IN THE NFL?

YOU LOGIC MADE NO SENSE.
:devil:
:evil:

It’s Better to start the Rookie that’s 1-10.

It don’t take much to be better than Maye:manny:

I never want to hear the experience card being used when there were multiple teams trying to figure out how they could hire Josh McNown 2 offseasons ago with his only experience being a volunteer HS QB coach

I said the same about him. I feel there is a level of experience you need to succeed most of the time. Mayo had a shared role calling defensive plays when Bill was there, we needed someone with more to lead such a bad roster imo

Top 4
Last season with 4 wins, you could see they still had a well drilled defense.

Dan Campbell's first season with 3 wins, you could see how hard the team competed.

Kyle Shanahan's first season with San Francisco they had what at the time was an innovative offense before Jimmy G went down.

Brian Flores first season in Miami between all that chaos and sabotage from his own front office, they had a well drilled defense and competed hard especially towards the end of the season.

Regardless of roster and wins, good coaches show you what they do well.

What did Mayo show?

You're a trolling Bills fan anyway so I don't expect a serious answer.

that 3 win lions team had jared goff, d'andre wift, amon ra st. brown, tj hockensen They had friggin talent of course it looked like they were competing because they had talent

:camby: They were AWFUL despite having one of the easiest schedules in the NFL and were somehow getting progressively worse. Spare me the fake militancy.

Canales finishing the season strongly with the worst organization in football over the past 5 years and claiming a couple of scalps along the way is how you keep your job.

Of course the ATL
:mjtf: underperforming what exactly. I need to know what the expectations were this team as constructed before we start talking about under performance and what not.

I feel like more people are upset that he was not able to elevate the dumpster fire of an organization which is a ridiculous bar to place on a coach in year one.

If they didn’t feel like he was building a culture to go win and compete for a championship then he needed to go. You can see if someone is cut out for a role based on how they’re managing the team, developing players, building a winning culture. If that wasn’t happening then breh was likely gonna get fired, it’s not just about wins/losses

:mjlol: expecting franchises to just accept losing and inferior coaching

Let me add this, the Pats have a potential star QB in Drake Maye. For people who haven’t watched many Pats games this year, he’s really talented, and he is mobile as well. He has as bright of a future as Daniels & Nix, but they’ve got to start acquiring talent around him soon. You also have to have the right coach to build and develop him. Mayo is a a new HC, that’s never been in this spot before. I think the Pats made a mistake in hiring Mayo, if they intended to draft Maye last year. You need an experienced coach OR a godd offensive coordinator as your coach if you draft a franchise QB. Kraft is dumb for hiring Mayo so quickly. It’s like the Bears sticking with Eberflus, you’re screwing up your potential franchise QB’s development.

Agreed. Mayo might have been a bad coach but the dumb owner did him no favors. Why do something so dumb and pick a guy who has no coaching experience to run the team then fire him the next year? It was a dumb decision to hire him in the first place.

This firing was quick though. Like he got fired on the field :dead:

This ain't going to help Kraft's HOF case.
