The 2024 was the second straight season the New England Patriots finished 4-13. It was also Jerod Mayo’s first season as head coach. His tenure with the Patriots lasted just one year.
Owner Robert Kraft parted ways with Mayo after the 2024 season. The Patriots wasted no time and were ready to start interviewing candidates. To no surprise, the team hired former three-time Super Bowl champion with New England, Mike Vrabel. After The Athletic interviewed NFL executives, they stated that Vrabel was the best head coaching hire this offseason.
