Could Jerod Mayo land an NFL head coach job in 2023 after all?
The Carolina Panthers are requesting permission to interview Mayo for their head coach job, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Thursday.
Mayo, whose official title is New England Patriots inside linebackers coach, is considered a rising star in coaching circles. He interviewed for head coach openings in both 2021 (with the Philadelphia Eagles) and 2022 (Las Vegas Raiders and Denver Broncos) and reportedly has drawn interest from the Cleveland Browns for their open defensive coordinator role.
