From a lack of talent on the roster to his inexperience and struggles with discipline, Mayo had little chance to succeed in New England.

It has been a disastrous head coaching situation for the Patriots. They parted ways with the greatest coach in NFL history, Bill Belichick, in a move to hire Mayo as the head coach last year. Now, they’re making a move to fire Mayo after their second straight 4-13 season.

One of the questions in the aftermath of Mayo's firing is the status of the front office, particularly vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf. During the presser, Kraft not only illustrated that Wolf's job is safe, but noted that he, along with personnel executive Alonzo Highsmith, will help lead the team in their head coaching search.
