There are mixed opinions on the New England Patriots firing Jerod Mayo as head coach after only one season. It's hard to argue against results, and to be fair, the results haven't been what the Patriots hoped this season.

The New England Patriots made the shocking decision to fire first-year head coach Jerod Mayo on Sunday after a 4-13 season. The move felt a bit hasty since New England turned to a rookie quarterback Drake Maye well into the season and didn’t have a ton of talent on the roster.
