BREAKING: Patriots have Hired their New Head Coach After Parting Ways with Bill Belichick
And just like that, a new era begins.
Shortly after it was revealed that the Patriots and Bill Belichick have parted ways, the team announced that their former player/current LB coach Jerod Mayo will be named as the new head coach:
Before becoming a coach, Mayo was an NFL linebacker and spent his entire playing career on the Patriots. He was their first round draft pick in 2008 and stayed there until retiring after the 2015 season.
Mayo finished his playing career as a Defensive Rookie of the Year, a Super Bowl champion, a 2-time Pro Bowler, and a First-Team All-Pro.
Just a few years after retiring from the NFL, Mayo returned back to New England as a coach. He was hired by the team as an inside linebackers coach in 2019, and stayed at that position until being promoted as the head coach.
Now, for the first time in over 24 years, the Patriots have themselves a new head coach.
