Not interested in Mayo in the slightest, if we're going to hire a former Linebacker and defensive minded coach, it should be Ryans, not Mayo.

It's as simple as just not wanting someone from Belichick's tree, they never work out, like... ever.  The problem is they always try to do what Belichick does, and it doesn't seem to work for anyone else but him.

Is that an unfair reason to not want someone for a job?  Maybe, but I don't want to be one of those teams who try to break that mold, rather just go somewhere else from the start, as unfair as it may be to Mayo or not.

Particularly with it being a defensive coach, as we know that's where Bill's focus is with his team, so right away I'd be skeptical about how much of the defenses success has to do with Mayo himself.  Maybe it's a lot of him, but Bill has been known as a defensive genius for a long time, well before Mayo, so odds would seem to lean towards the defense being more Bill than Mayo.

Not crazy, it was my thought as well and makes complete sense 

Seems they have zeroed in on Johnson and don’t want to risk losing him.    I guess the quicker he gets here the quicker he builds his staff and they start going through the draft process etc.

If we are going to hire a LB for a coach, let it be Luke or noone. But, since it's not going to be, Johnson, Steichen, or Kafka it shall be. Sorry Wilks...great leader of men and has the players behind him, but the old school approach to ground and pound football is gone. We need an offensive mindset.

Sure.  He seems to have the wonder kid type vibe from people in the nfl.   You can’t deny his results.   Stenchin would be fine as well but tepper probably doesn’t want to wait a few more weeks to get someone.   

Yeah we need someone to start diving in on the draft and decide who our next QB will be.  Johnson works for me if he is the guy.

Why is several media people all of a sudden concentrating on the LB coach of the Patriots for HC that no one has ever heard of and he is acting like he is an emerging potential top choice. 
All indications is Tepper wants a OC as coach and the only DC I would accept is Ryan’s. 
Also when has a Patriots coach ever made a good HC?

I'd imagine that they are casting a wide net here and doing their research, reaching out to contacts etc... and in that process Mayos name came up or kept coming up and couldn't be ignored. The truth of the matter is to top candidate going in could not be the top candidate coming out. I would say Vrabel has been a good coach. Once again, very different being a player from that environment then being a coach from there.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
