This loser was all into the race DEI thing. Good he's fired.

[ground_fog]

He set back black coaches. These DEI hires actually end uo hurting their cause. Falcons, same thing.

[ssapro]

It is good that he’s out. The Giants need to fire their head coach as well along with some other nfl teams.

[fhayek]

Loser sandwich, hold the Mayo!!

[V_TWIN]

He had to have it written into his contract as an assistant coach that when Bill Belichickleft he would be the next head coach.......if you know what the hell your doing you don’t need a handicap.

[No name given]

True.

[BigFreakinToad]

If DEI was a thing, more white people would be playing regardless of skill level, not excluding Asian, Indiansx2, Hispanics and whatever else is roaming the earth

Belecheck just might return....if they give his 25 year old girlfriend a $500,000 a year job.

Patriots just beat the Bills 23-16.

[chajin]

Mayo just couldn’t cut the mustard, and his team couldn’t ketchup to the rest of the division, so he left the Patriots in a pickle.

[Political Junkie Too]

The Patriots won Mayo's last game as coach, a 23-16 victory over the Buffalo Bills that dropped New England from picking No. 1 in the 2025 draft to No. 4, instead.

I sure hope this isn't one of the reasons for firing Mayo, despite it being implied in the article.

It would be illegal to purposely throw the game in order to protect their #1 draft pick. That would be effectively taking a dive for personal (team) gain. All sports teams have an obligation to play their hardest to win as a part of their league charters.

NASCAR driver Clint Boyer went through this many years ago when he was accused of purposely spinning out at Richmond in the last qualifying race the season in order to force a yellow flag and a restart to benefit another driver on the same ownership team.

Boyer never admitted to doing it, but the NASCAR competition committee held an emergency meeting and later reinforced to all of the teams the requirement to always be competitive and not have one driver take actions that are not competitive for themselves in order to benefit others.

The owner (Michael Waltrip) was forced to give up one of his three teams, Boyer was fined points, and Waltrip eventually closed up shop a few years later.

I'd hate for the Patriots to be accused of firing their head coach for NOT throwing a game.

Couldn’t even manage to lose a game to guarantee the first pick.

[kenmcg]

So Vrabel will go to the Patriots.

[nesnah]

Crispus Attacks, he wasn’t.

[Ninaq]

Kraft was so eager to get rid of Belichek.
Then there were all the accolades for this guy to take over.

Gee, Bob Kraft, what went wrong??

[Secret Agent Man]

Well to be fair, when two teams play a game, someone’s gonna lose.

Maybe we can have a Best Losing Team award for the most prolific losing team.
