There's a couple reasons this isn't surprising. Mayo has been a hot, rising coaching candidate for a couple of years. He's been a great defensive coach under Belichick. And Kraft has been pushing for diversity behind the scenes for years now.
He wanted to give a a rising black coach, who understands the Patriots way, and probably had the stamp of Belichick a shot. They'll make sure he gets a great OC. I'm happy for Mayo.
