The first difference in the new head coach’s office is obvious. In fact, for any player passing by on the ground floor of Gillette Stadium, it’s impossible to miss.
Jerod Mayo’s desk is right by the door to his office. When Bill Belichick was New England’s coach, the desk used to be around the corner and invisible to passersby. But Mayo moved the desk so it was planted square to the entrance. Now whoever comes in, or even meanders past, immediately sees the new guy in charge.
