The former Oregon star played in just four games as a rookie in 2023 before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury, but he bounced back this year and was named a Second-team All-Pro.<\/p>\n<p>Mike Vrabel will be Gonzalez\u2019s third coach in three seasons. All three of the coaches \u2014 Vrabel, Mayo and Bill Belichick \u2014 have backgrounds in defense, which could present challenges for Gonzalez and other defensive players. Though, Mayo was an assistant on Belichick\u2019s staff, so there was probably plenty of carry-over from one regime to the next.<\/p>\n<p>The Patriots had named Mayo their head-coach-in-waiting prior to pushing out Belichick. Vrabel was then unexpectedly fired by the Tennessee Titans.<\/p>\n<p>Mayo made some big mistakes in his first season as a head coach, but it is possible Robert Kraft regretted promising the job to Mayo, especially after Vrabel became available. That likely had something to do with the decision to not bring Mayo back for another season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jerod Mayo was only given one season to prove he could handle being the head coach of the New England Patriots, and one of the team&#8217;s star players seems<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":15133,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15132","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chicago-blackhawks"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
