It took Robert Kraft all of an hour to fire head coach Jerod Mayo after he pissed away the #1 over all pick.

In this episode Rich and Dr. BigMac, roll through the repercussions of the firing of Jerod Mayo and the final week of the season🏈🎙️

Key Takeaways

Jerod Mayo's last gaff of incompetence?

The Bills wanted to lose that game more than the Patriots. The Patriots had the #1 over all pick on the line. The Bills did not want their division rival to get that pick. Their goal was to lose the game and Mayo ate it up. Took the win. Costing the Patriots a girth of assets. 🤔🔥

The Impact of the Patriots losing the number 1 overall pick

It is no small thing to move from 1st to 4th in the NFL draft. The Patriots still should get a very good impactful player at #4. The problem is they could have had 2 or 3 very good impactful players, maybe more with the haul of assets generally received from the #1 over all pick. 🤯

Mayo and AVP get blown out. Who's next

This had to happen. The Kraft's knew it. They knew it enough to not even wait until Monday to fire him or his OC. Eliot Wolf remains, but not for long.🧐👎

What's Next

Mike Vrabel is the leader in the club house for the next Head Coach of the New England Patriots. The Patriots have requested to interview Detroit Offensive Coordinator, Ben Johnson, but all signs point to Vrabel taking over the building. 🧠📖

The Patriots secured the first overall pick with another embarrassing performance on Sunday.

The boys discuss:

Outrage from the fans

The organization's responsibility

Player's response

The Patriots have reached the bottom of lows. It’s not frustration or hate or desperation. It’s indifference. I couldn’t give a shit less if they were competitive or not in that game. There is not a single thing they could do to convince me that this organization lead by this group of weenies is going to turn any kind of corner. The only thing worth watching is Drake Maye to see what kind of kernels we can take out to start piecing together is potential. When he went out of the game with a possible concussion, it the TV went on mute and I actually picked up a book. That’s how little I give a fuck about your football team right now, Bobby K.
