After the stunning firing of Jerod Mayo, Patriots owner Robert Kraft took the blame for a mess of a season in New England.

The New England Patriots were once one of the most renowned organizations in all of sports. Now, they are turning into quite a nightmare. And no, it's not just because of their head-coaching situation.

New England Patriots' longtime owner Robert Kraft was pointing the finger at himself after another 4-13 season, while explaining his firing of Jerod Mayo.

He fired Mayo, his hand-picked successor to Bill Belichick, and leapt back into the unknown; a leap that left the rest of the Patriots hanging, with the future of every coach and front-office member suspended until further notice. With all eyes on him, Kraft must now stick the landing.

According to a feature from the Boston Herald, Jerod Mayo could have saved his job with the Patriots with another critical win in December.

Mayo was swiftly fired by the Patriots after their Week 18 win over the Buffalo Bills in the regular season finale. It’s shocking that the handpicked coach by owner Robert Kraft only lasted a year at the job. Now, the Patriots must undergo a head coaching search for a second straight year.

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.
