Could the New England Patriots move on from head coach Jerod Mayo after just one season? That has been a hot topic heading into Week 18 and on Sunday ESPN's Adam Schefter weighed in on why it could happen.

“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 on Sunday NFL Countdown. "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, and it feels like within the organization—there's been a shift," Schefter said. "There's nervous people inside the building right now. We are gonna go 'leaning OUT' right now for Jerod Mayo.”
