Today's news release revolves around Bill Simmons, a well-known sports analyst who disapproves of Jerod Mayo's Firing as the head coach of the New England Patriots. Simmons believes that Mayo was fired at the wrong time.
Patriots' Decision of Firing Jerod Mayo is Questioned
The New England Patriots have fired head coach Jerod Mayo, who had been with the team for eight seasons. Many sports pundits and analysts, including Bill Simmons, question the team's decision, especially that of its owner, Robert Kraft.
Bill Simmons Criticized Timing of Jerod Mayo Firing
Bill Simmons, a recognized ESPN sports analyst and Boston superfan, has spoken against the Patriots’ decision to fire its head coach. He has raised a question about Jerod Mayo's firing and criticized the team's timing. He said the Patriots fired Jerod Mayo after their Week 18 win over the Buffalo Bills, which was the wrong timing for this move.
Simmons: Mayo's Firing was Determined Before the Game
According to Bill Simmons in his recent talk, Patriots' owner Robert Kraft had already planned to fire Mayo before the game but showed up with their move after the Week 18 game 23-16 win over the Buffalo Bills.
He argues that if the team had decided to fire Mayo, then it should have moved on from Mayo before the game rather than letting Mayo and the offensive coordinator try to coach their jobs to make the team win without knowing what was coming next for them.
“You gotta get rid of those guys if you know you’re gonna get rid of them after the game. Why not get rid of them before the game? Bill Simmons said.
Patriots' Draft Pick Move to No. 4
Bill Simmons voiced his thoughts about Patriots' team owner Robert Kraft, Mayo's firing, and the losing control of the overall No.1 Pick on his "Cousin Sal" with long-time friend Sal Iacono. He said that the team had shifted their focus from its priorities.
Patriot's win has led to losing control of the overall No. 1 Pick and moved to the No. 4 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, behind the Tennessee Titans, Cleveland Browns, and New York Giants.
