Pats Scraps: Days of Thunder

Written By Rich McPhee

In this episode of Boston's Simple Minds Sports Show, the boys rundown the dirtiest and juiciest pieces of reporting from the fall out of Jerod Mayo getting shit canned.

Key Takeaways

  • Jerod Mayo is a card player

  • After an embarrassing loss to the Cardinals, the head coach kicked it with the players in the back of the plane instead of dissecting film with his coaching staff

  • Can't make football players out of boys

  • Mayo's key tenant of treating his players like men before disciplining them failed almost immediately

  • Lack of confidence in the building

  • When asked when things started to go south for Mayo? Immediately

  • Dissension from top to bottom

  • The buck was passed from the GM to the coaches, from the coaches to the players, from the players to the coaches, and from the coaches back to the GM.

  • The one constant?

  • The Krafts

  • What's Next?

  • The Patriots spit at the Rooney Rule

  • Lined up the top candidates in the league for interviews

  • Is the decision all but made?

  • Mike Vrabel seems to have the job sewn up, but there is always a wild card scenario
