The New England Patriots have yet to publicly commit to bringing Jerod Mayo back in 2025, and ESPN’s Adam Schefter believes there is a good reason for that.
During the Week 18 edition of “Sunday NFL Countdown,” Schefter hosted a segment called “Safe or Out” where he predicted what the future holds for several coaches who are viewed as being on the hot seat. The reporter began with Mayo and the Patriots, and he said he is leaning toward Mayo being fired.
“All along the Kraft family has wanted to stand by him and give him support. He was the hand-chosen successor to Bill Belichick,” Schefter said. “But over the last 30 days or so, the team has struggled. They’ve lost at home. Fans have been angered. They’ve been apathetic. It feels like within the organization, there’s been a shift. There are nervous people inside the building right now, and we are gonna go leaning out right now for Jerod Mayo.”
