According to a Boston Globe article, owner Robert Kraft will give Bill Belichick a serious thought if the New England Patriots lose to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday in Germany, dropping them to 2-8.
“Based on my conversations, I don’t think it’s 100 percent that Belichick finishes out this season,” Volin wrote in a story published on Sunday. The Germany match, which is essentially the Krafts’ Super Bowl, is one of the most important games left before the bye. I believe there’s a chance the Krafts will make a change during the bye week and appoint Jerod Mayo as the interim coach for the final seven games if Belichick loses at home to the Commanders and then to the Colts and returns from Germany with a 2-8 record.”
Naturally, the Patriots’ record dropped to 2-7 after their loss to Washington last weekend in Foxboro. On Sunday, they are 1.5 points behind the 4-5 Colts. This week, a video of Kraft conversing with his son Jonathan went viral, in which the team president states, “We’re just not good enough.”
Following his declaration in March of last year that qualifying for the postseason this season was “very important,” Kraft has remained silent on the season and Belichick’s situation in public, only confiding in close associates about his “frustration.”
When asked about the viral video on Monday morning during his weekly radio show on WEEI, Belichick just gave a grumpy response.
He said, “You’d have to ask them about what they said.” “I’m not sure. On Sunday, we didn’t do enough.
In the same article, Volin makes the assumption that Mayo will serve as interim coach for the remainder of the season. However, he also reports that Mike Vrabel is the Pats’ “home run” acquisition. In a perfect world, Mayo and the recently fired Josh McD
While the Patriots are experiencing their worst season in nearly 25 years, speculation regarding Belichick’s future is rampant.
Adam Schefter, an NFL insider, recently stated that Belichick would not be fired because he should be given “special treatment.” However, Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated stated that a “outright firing” is a possibility. Some propose that the Hall of Fame coach be traded. And now, in addition to fresh reports regarding Belichick’s exit, there is a new rumor focusing on his replacement.
aniels would be Mayo’s defensive partners in 2024, with Vrabel returning to lead the offense for the third time.
Mayo, quien rechazó solicitudes de asesoramiento de asesoramiento de asesoramiento en el pasado otoño para firmar un nuevo contrato para permanecer en Foxboro, se cree que es el entrenador de asesoramiento de los Pats en espera, y Mike Florio de Pro Football Talk también está involucrado en el caso Vrabel.
También es querido en Boston (y por Bill Belichick). Un nuevo miembro del Hall of Fame del equipo con tres títulos
de Super Bowl. una conexión con el pasado glorioso de los Pats, así como una conexión con la NFL contemporánea.
He also, of course, has a gig coaching the Tennessee Titans so a lot of dominoes would have to fall for him to wind up in New England in 2024. But Florio isn’t the only one envisioning Vrabel leading a revamped, Belichick-less coaching staff next season.
Volin last weekend offered his “Dream Team,” featuring Vrabel as the No. 1 candidate.
With the worst record in the AFC, no offensive playmakers and significant injuries to stars on both sides of the ball (including Pro Bowl pass-rusher Matthew Judon and leading receiver Kendrick Bourne), this Patriots’ season is an unmitigated disaster. They haven’t been 2-7 since Belichick’s first season in Foxboro in 2000.
