The Patriots’ lost 2024 season was worse than most knew. Go inside Jerod Mayo’s first and only year as head coach, and the franchise’s continue fall from grace.

Following just one season with the Patriots, Jerod Mayo, the heir apparent to Bill Belichick, was fired on Sunday. Owner Robert Kraft explained his decision on Monday.

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.
