The New England Patriots may have the coach that could succeed Bill Belichick one day in Jerod Mayo, but the linebackers coach said it was "hurtful" to see a report alleging he has "rubbed at least some people the wrong way" within the organization.
In December, a report from the Boston Sports Journal detailed how Mayo, who is expected by many to be a leading candidate to replace Bill Belichick as head coach when the time comes, might not be the next person to receive the top job because of relationship issues within the Patriots.
