The 15

Here are several questions that the locals somehow forgot to ask Jerod Mayo since he became the 15th Head Coach of the New England Patriots in January:

When was your first conversation with Robert about becoming the head coach?

When was your first conversation with Robert about becoming the head coach for 2024?

Was there language in the contract you signed prior to the 2023 season that spelled out this plan to elevate you to head coach?

Were there financial implications tied to this language if that elevation did not occur? And by what date?

Was Bill aware of this language in your contract? Did you discuss it with him?

Did you discuss this with Robert at any point between the start of the 2023 season and the final game against the Jets? If so, did these conversations occur during regular business hours at the team facility?

Did Bill request that you leave the business world and start a career in coaching?

Do you believe that Bill would have liked to continue coaching here beyond 2023?

Do you believe conversations that go over the head of your direct superior to his boss about your boss’ future are conducive to a productive work environment?
