It was a historical week because Bill bich one of the greatest coaches ever parted ways with the Patriots well they have officially hired Gerard Mayo former linebacker first round pick for the Patriots played there for about 8 years 2008 to 15 he was a rookie of the year

Two-time pro bowler All Pro Super Bowl champ and he’s been the Patriots inside backers coach for the last four years and change he also had a defensive coordinating title as well not sure if he called plays not sure if he didn’t shady I saw him so soci media that you

Were happy with this decision but break it down did the Patriots get it right with the new hire cuz this is huge you know I I actually like the hire um for some reason than some reason I am kind of a little concerned but that’s with everything because you don’t know what’s

Going to happen but um first of all he a black coach we need way more black coaches especially players that play the game they went through it they know from inside the locker room on the field they give you them experiences and another thing is I just feel like it’s time I I

Think he’s been around enough to know what’s going on the only thing I’m worried about is just when you fire a coach that’s been there for so long in that organization and you hire smart that just been underneath him for so long it’s like are we bringing the same

Coach that’s the only thing I’m worried about but other than that I I love the mve he’s younger he can relate to the players and he’s been in the lock room he’s been in that uniform he knows what it feels like to to play the game so I’m

Happy for him Shady let me elaborate on your point big dog because you said something I was thinking earlier today I love the move one you hire a former player I love that players know how to relate better they understand the culture better all of that but my

Concern is this and it’s very potent if you will gerod Mayo knows nothing besides the Patriot Way he was drafted by the Patriots by Bill bellich and then his only coaching experience is Bill bellich so gerod Mayo was always going to default to his only knowledge which

Is the Patriot Way we’ve all been in relationships with individuals who only know how to operate based on the relationship they have seen so if their parents argue they argue their parents was peaceful they was peaceful whatever the case may be like if they don’t have any other relationship experience that’s

How they are going to operate so Mayo only knows okay Monday is going to be our off day Tuesday we’re going to watch film Wednesday we’re going to get it going but what if Monday you should watch film Tuesday should be the off day what if there’s a better way to do

Things but he doesn’t know that better way I’ll speak to my experience I was privileged to be a part of the New York Giants organization Tom Coughlin if you’re not 5 minutes early you’re late oh yeah I got caught with that you know what I’m saying but then I also played

Pat Shermer was my head coach that drafted me completely different last uh approach then Chip Kelly totally different Chip Kelly turned everything on his head on Saturday practice before Sunday game you’re supposed to do a walk through God Chip Kelly had a Sprint because his mindset was Olympic

Sprinters they do a flush a a walk through type of flush they get their body going before the games on Friday with chip we did a 80 play walkthrough typically organizations on Friday you doing a little more and you walk through on Saturday most organizations on Monday

That’s your practice day Tuesday is your off day but with chip Monday was our off day Tuesday was our practice day so I just have different experiences from being in different places so if I were to ever coach I’d have an amalgamation of all my experiences Mayo only has one

James that’s my concern but see that’s why I mean I love the hire number one but that’s why I think it’s a great hire because he’s been in this building and that is all he knows but he’s sat in that locker room and he sat next to

Dudes like you like uh I don’t like Alo doing that man why why like so I truly believe like number one this is a great hire because he is going to come in here and yes some of the stuff is going to say stay the same cuz he’s going to like

Some stuff that bill did but some of the stuff is going to be different because even playing for Bill coaching for Bill it’s certain things that you want to change I’ve been a part of coaching changes and all that and each time a coach comes in a coach is like this is

What we’re changing I already had that on my mind uh even when Bill was the head coach if I was able to head coach this is what I’m going to change so he’s going to come in there and change stuff but for me it’s all about him being able

To get players there when you talk about a young coach that played the game when you think about the Patriots and Bill bich a lot of the guys say they don’t want to go to the Patriots because the Patriot Way now you get a player in

There and now when you come in here on these visits you got a player talking to you this is how we going to do it so I think this hire is going to be able to attract some free agents and some guys that want to come play there and play

For mayor I think it’s an excellent H but you never had a player that play underneath one person or one coach or one defense that that’s what he knows so even if guys are going back and forth at the end of the day man this what I know

I’m doing this no doubt but it’s going to be some things like I say sitting in the locker room playing for chip playing for Andy Reed playing for it’s it’s some things that you’re like d why Andy doing that even though Andy’s your greatest coach of all time and you love Andy and

It’s some things like like why Andy you know what I mean but so I give you so you as about Andy re I’ll give you example where when you when you’re a player you had so much success in a scheme in a system right even the coach

Tell you stuff that you don’t want to hear you might not like you might not agree with not like you might not agree with I don’t think it makes sense you going to do it because you got that trust right and is one of them dudes

Where he might say some stuff I might look you hear what he said but yo I’m doing it some dudes just like I don’t want to say like um um um um food I don’t want to say that word food but like you believe so much that’s what

Great leaders come from aut do it that’s all I’m saying like bich has so much high it’s like yo we might not like it as but we going to do this because look at he got six rings yeah Joy break get get in here real quick what do you make

Of the higher do you agree with it not do you agree with it but do you love it I do love it we do need more more black coaches so I I love that I love that this was already in the works so it may

Have seemed like a a quick hire but it obviously wasn’t this is something that they had been planning for I love that part of it because this isn’t going to feel so unexpected to anybody in the building there are things that go on in buildings that we are not privy to as

Media or as fans that players know and the organization knows what’s actually going on which to me means he’s been grooming for this for a while which I like I I’m not a huge fan of it’s got to be it’s got to be someone from the the

Patriot way it’s got to be someone in the family I think I think sometimes organizations and you see this a lot in college programs get so caught up in that it it limits your ability to see and and sometimes make the right High agree but when you’re moving off of a

Guy like Bill bellich the name of Bill bich the Legacy that bill bich has in New England we can think whatever we want of New England Patriots fans probably do not agree with us they might think that Tom Brady was more important but they are seeing this this dynasty

Through a bit more rose-colored glasses as they should they enjoyed going to nine Super Bowls and winning six of them he also enjoyed the high level of success with B bich when he was still winning so where where I think this is a good higher surfac Le and of course we’ll see

How it goes what I like about this is he has seen the highs of Bill bich and the lows of bill bich so while he may have only been with the Patriots which in this situation I think is a good thing because you sort of have

To you don’t have to but I like that they’re sort of weaning everybody off of the bill bich culture they’re not going like let’s go right into somebody who’s totally different who doesn’t understand the sensitivities in the building who doesn’t understand the the the fan base doesn’t understand the city doesn’t

Understand the players and the history there he does so when you you sometimes when you get new hires in look what happened with with the Broncos with Shawn pton right he came in boom everything’s different we’re talking bad about the the the RO the roster that was there last year we’re talking about

About the coaches that were there last year and that was his prerogative to do but you’re not going to get that with D May he’s going to handle things with a bit more sensitivity because he was a part of that obviously he’s not going to

Diss the players like he was a part of of the failure of it and he was a part of the success of it so that’s what makes me less nervous about just following in the bich way and also Bic did have a lot of success like I’m saying that quietly because we’ve been

Very critical of what happened and who gets the credit for it but he was in the building when they were having success and he was in the building when they were absolutely not and they have the third overall pick he can he can completely change the direction of organization offensively and bring in

New players fine time yeah that’s why for me I got a question I got a question for you well it’s not bich so he might not need I’m saying you the highs and lows of bich career he’ been with the highs cuz Tommy was there I’m I’m saying

That in regard to like how things were done you know what I mean like I agree with you because I do think that like um having a player that was there or a coach that was there right like like the player like when a new coach comes in

There for example when Chip Kelly came here like it was weird because CH everything we got to like learn his style we got to like meet now the players introduce your to him you know what I’m saying so like maybe like yo what’s up coach might not be cool with him hey how

You doing coach how’s everything all right where what’s up what’s up Andy I thought that’s better though no what I’m saying is like that’s why I kind of do like him already being there because the the Deep players they used right guys in hallway even if they off you might not

Knowing on him but but enough to know like okay I take him serious things like that I do like that’s interesting uh do you guys think Bale bich had anything to do with this hire th% th% it would allegedly was in Gerard Mayo’s contract that he would be the successor once Bill

Bich were two part way so this was something that we knew of here’s what’s interesting we’re all saying we like that he was a part of the Patriots organization but it might hurt them that he was a part of the Patriots organization so which way are y’all really leaning because my biggest fear

And and and and and joy I think I heard you most clearly because I heard you last is there is strength to him being a part of the Patriots but to me that’s the concern that’s my greatest concern what I love about now working on this

Show working at this network I’ve been a lot of places I was at another Network I was at local news I was at a small so like I’ve been about four different places so now I’m like hey why do we do this like this I actually like how this

Place did it better know I like what we do better than how this place did that wait why don’t we start the show like that why don’t we start the show like that cuz this show starts a show like that but if I was only ever here then

All my knowledge would be drawn from here as opposed to being able to draw Knowledge from this network in this part of the country this network that part of the country local news national news so Mayo can only draw from the Patriots de o Ryan he could draw from the ners in

Shanahan or he could draw from Chip Kelly or he could draw from maybe he was there with O’Brien with the Texans For Better or For Worse he could draw from different places Mike brael he could draw from Ohio State he could draw from the Texans he could draw from bellich so

Mayo can only only only draw from bich that concerns me to the highest degree people marry their High School sweethearts and have some of the best relationships that we’ve seen some people be out in the streets most of life don’t meet their love of their life till they’re 50 there’s a million

Different ways to do things there’s lots of guys who have been on a lot of coaching staffs who get an opportunity and are bad so I I I I absolutely see both sides of it I hear the concern but to me he could fail going to a bunch of

Places or he could fail only being here I what I do like about it is they’re not completely they’re not completely they don’t need a complete rebuild right like their defense was good right mhm good a defensive coach though okay top not good yeah no but but he you didn’t need a

Defensive help you I’m saying when you’re talking about building an organization it’s not like he’s starting with rubble they have a good defense he’s a part of that side of the ball hire the right offensive coordinator don’t hire a defensive coordinator and a special teams guy to coach your new

Quarterback which we’re assuming that they’re going to dra the quarterback back and challenge this respectfully if your defense is already good and Mayo was already on staff and Mayo was already coordinating the defense why not hire an offensive mind cuz your defense go so you don’t need a head coach to fix

The defense is good keep him in the exact same position why not bring it in offensive mind find a quarterback or fix your quarterbacks cuz I I I everything you’re saying is accurate but I would use your logic and make a different decision but I’m looking at it from the

Opposite way because you had a top 10 defense leave the dude that’s been in there coaching this top 10 defense you know what I’m saying that so the defense don’t got to learn a whole defense who knows where they might go learning a whole defense different terminology from

A different defensive coin you got the same defensive coordinator now go build this offense draft free agency whatever find you a quarterback whatever you going to do get you a really good offensive coordinator young old it don’t matter but a good one that knows what he’s doing to be able to help your

Quarterback whoever comes in there and now you build this offense but for me I love it and I’m on I’m on the the other side of this because we talk player coach all the time we do this is a players coach yeah Antonio Pierce is a players coach and when you see the

Locker room and you see the B with these dudes on the team with a real players coach it’s different right so we can go with the Patriot Way and all that this dude played the game this dude been in the locker room this dude you can’t

Tell me over his whatever stint he had with Bill bich how many years he played with him that he just agreed with everything it’s certain things that he watched in the building and the organization like n as a player we we don’t want that let me ask you this then

Why not Vel Mike Vel was in that division Mike Vel has won the division before he’s upset Lamar Jackson when Lamar Jackson had a 14-2 season the unanimous MVP Mike Vel was a linebacker for the Patriots I believe he won more Super Bowls for the Patriots I believe

He has more individual accolades as a linebacker for the Patriots he had higher highs with the Patriots Mike Vel also was with the Texans was with the Titans was at Ohio State and has much more coaching experience obviously I believe it was in Mayo’s contract but would you be more excited about Rabel

Who checks every box you’re speaking of former coach but checks boxes it Mayo can’t yet Coach well see I wouldn’t I wouldn’t do that because we haven’t seen what the young fella can do yet right I think that’s everybody on the outside looking in he played Rabel played and we

Seen what Rabel did as a head coach so it’s like hey man the sexier pick or sexier sexier higher is is rable but the young dude could be special and and we don’t know and he and he’s played and been there in this Patriots organization as well subscribe here to get the latest
