Jerod Mayo Fired as Patriots Head Coach After One Season

Mayo's wife criticizes Patriots' handling of his dismissal, calling out alleged misinformation and loss of 'class.'

Jerod Mayo was fired as head coach of the New England Patriots after a 4-13 season, his first year in the role.
Chantel Mayo, his wife, took to Instagram to condemn the Patriots, accusing them of spreading 'lies' and lacking 'class' in their handling of the firing.
Mayo had been chosen as Bill Belichick's successor but reportedly did not receive the mentorship initially planned before Belichick's early departure in 2023.
Reports suggest Mayo faced challenges, including criticisms of his leadership style and miscommunications during games, contributing to his dismissal.
The Patriots, now searching for a new head coach, have interviewed several candidates, including Mike Vrabel and Ben Johnson.
