Former NFL player and current ESPN analyst Ryan Clark had an interesting take on why he believes Jerod Mayo can succeed as the Patriots’ next head coach.
Bill Belichick built a dynasty, but the staff coming out of his coaching trees don’t have a great track record of succeeding as head coaches. The most glaring examples are Matt Patricia and Josh McDaniels. In those two cases, the locker room seemed to lose respect for them, while they attempted to establish their version of the ‘Patriot Way’ outside of Foxborough.
Clark sees Mayo’s story turning out a little different due to one key factor.
