Twitter reacts to Jerod Mayo replacing Bill Belichick as Patriots head coach

Jerod Mayo Bill Belichick Patriots Patriot Robert Kraft Mike Vrabel the New England Patriots

Jerod Mayo will reportedly supplant the greatest in NFL history as the new head coach for the New England Patriots.

It’s a quick hire by the Patriots after mutually agreeing to part ways with Bill Belichick on Thursday. Some would even call it a surprising one considering Mike Vrabel recently came free after being fired by the Tennessee Titans.

But the Patriots always had Mayo pegged as the coach to replace Belichick and even reportedly had it written in his contract. Owner Robert Kraft and the team is simply following through with a succession plan that was already in place. But did they make the right decision?

That’s a question that will be dissected and picked apart for months. One thing is for certain: Mayo is highly-respected by ownership and players in the locker room. He has also spent years learning under Belichick as both a player and coach.

Here’s what fans were saying about the hire on social media:
