COMMENTARY:
Bill Belichick is no longer the head coach of the Patriots, and Jerod Mayo has officially been named his successor.
Now that Mayo is in place, it’s time to begin filling out his staff. New England has reportedly begun interviewing candidates for defensive coordinator and special teams coach.
But, the Patriots’ most glaring weakness is on offense. They tied for dead last in the NFL in scoring. They’ll need to decide which coach will lead that part of the team going forward.
All of Mayo’s experience as both a player and a coach is on the defensive side of the ball.
