The rumors have become increasingly louder throughout the 2024 NFL season that the New England Patriots could consider moving on from head coach Jerod Mayo after just one season. While those rumors may have gotten loud,

The Patriots are currently sitting with a 3-13 record after dropping an ugly 40-7 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 17. It was the team’s worst loss of the season, and it ended with “fire Mayo” chants breaking out at Gillette Stadium.

If the Patriots retain Mayo, what might their offseason look like? And what staff changes — likely the coordinators — would be needed?

The Patriots already knew who their next head coach would be. Owner Robert Kraft had put into writing a succession plan that detailed how Jerod Mayo would take over. It meant the Patriots didn’t have to conduct a formal search the way the league requires with multiple interviews that follow the NFL’s Rooney Rule.

The New England Patriots have not had a great first season under first-year head coach Jerod Mayo. New England is 3-13 heading into Week 18 and is currently in position for the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
