Robert Kraft fires Patriots coach Jerod Mayo after 4-13 first season

No one said it would be easy to follow Bill Belichick. One would have thought Jerod Mayo would have gotten more than one season.

That won’t be the case as New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft wasted no time after Sunday’s win over the Buffalo Bills in telling his coach he was being let go after finishing 4-13

Who could be next? Mike VRabel has a deep history with Kraft and the Patriots. He would be atop or near the top of the list.

Then again, there is that buyout at North Carolina for Belichick. Nah, right?

In case you were wondering the last Patriots coach to get canned after one season Was Rod Rust. New England went 1-15 in 1990 before Rust wasd shown the door.
