FOXBORO, Mass. — When Jerod Mayo was introduced as the 15th head coach in team history, he shared that he would take some qualities from Bill Belichick while making his own experience with the New England Patriots.
He took that first step in his work with the media on Wednesday afternoon.
Belichick certainly had his quality moments with the media, cracking the occasional smile and thanking reporters for their work in his final press conference before parting ways with the Patriots after the 2023 season.
As for Mayo, setting a standard became a priority for him in the opening weeks of his tenure at the helm.
