Patriots/NFL Patriots fire Jerod Mayo after dismal 4-13 season

You could just take Tet McMillan.

Pats history drafting WR scares me. Give me Nabers for 4th overall

Why would the Giants do that?

Why would the Giants do that?

Unlikely, unless they were in position to draft Sanders & Hunter

They know they have a sure thing with Nabers. Why would they want to mess with that?

NFL Rumors: How Ben Johnson Could Become Favorite For Patriots Job

“New England met with apparent front-runner Mike Vrabel on Thursday and reportedly has a virtual interview scheduled with Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson for Friday morning.”

Abdul Carter is a one man wrecking crew. I went from I want him at 4 to will he even be there at 4?

Id be shocked if he isnt.

1-3 are seeming pretty locked in with Ward, Hunter, Sanders.

Jerod Mayo (wife) takes to Instagram to come back at team

It's just sad how big a joke this organization has become

I love Abdul Carter as well, would not hesitate one second to take him at 4.
The edge rusher UFA list is not deep this year.
We can pickup an OLineman in round 2, have many needs to fill.

“New England met with apparent front-runner Mike Vrabel on Thursday and reportedly has a virtual interview scheduled with Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson for Friday morning.”

I think one of the big things going against Johnson is he'd basically have to accept the job by Monday. If they know Vrabel would accept the job if offered, they're not going to want to risk the possibility of losing out on both of them, and Vrabel likely will have signed somewhere else by the time they could get a second interview with Johnson. We know Johnson already pulled out of the Washington interview process late last year, so who's to say he wouldn't pull a McDaniels and renege even if he did originally agree.

NFL insider: There’s ‘buzz’ Josh McDaniels could return as Patriots’ offensive coordinator

According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, there's "buzz" that Josh McDaniels could return as offensive coordinator of the Patriots.

FWIW, the Patriots are NOT the only team to interview two minority candidates with little-to-no shot of being hired. The Bears interviewed their interim Head Coach, Thomas Brown, and former Stanford coach David Shaw to also become Rooney Rule compliant.

I think perhaps the Patriots felt the need to become Rooney Rule compliant very quickly in case another team (Jets? Bears?) were to offer Vrabel a job before New England was done with their process.

Internal candidates don't count towards the Rooney rule, so Thomas Brown doesn't qualify.

McDaniels still being paid by the Raiders, so this would absolutely be right up the Kraft’s alley.

Not surprising. All the Krafts have done since Brady has left is bring in/promote people they know. They are afraid of going outside the box.

Promoted Wolf/Mayo

Gave Patricia a new title as OC

Brought back Bill O’Brien

Now they are potentially bringing in Vrabel and Mcdaniels again.

It’s turning into the Patriots Fraternity of retreads

Barring injury, Carter has HOF written all over him.

I was very huge on the Kelvin Banks train for a minute, but I have been very unimpressed with him in this playoff. If the Patriots are going to go with BPA, Carter just might be their man.

My hopeful offseason is drafting tee Higgins the. Drafting Abdul Carter 4th overall and a tackle in round 2.
