The New England Patriots fired head coach Jerod Mayo on Sunday, the team announced.
The Patriots finished 3-14 in his lone season in charge.
Mayo was the Patriots’ inside linebackers coach from 2019 to 2023.
New England won its season finale against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, but the win was costly, dropping the Patriots from the first pick in the upcoming NFL draft to fourth.
Mayo made waves earlier in the season when, after the team’s sixth straight loss, he labeled his roster as “soft.”“We’re a soft football team across the board,” Mayo said in October.
