Patriots Seek New Head Coach After Mayo Departure

The New England Patriots are undergoing a significant coaching overhaul after parting ways with first-year head coach Jerod Mayo, who achieved only four wins this season. Mike Vrabel has emerged as the leading candidate to replace Mayo, with strong support due to his past success with the Patriots and head coaching experience with the Titans. The Patriots are also pursuing interviews with other candidates, including Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn, the latter of whom has garnered praise for his leadership and defensive strategies. The team is looking to reset after a disappointing season and hopes to find a coach who can inspire and develop young talent. The coaching search is still in progress, with multiple interviews scheduled as the Patriots aim for a fresh start in 2025.
