The decisions made by Robert Kraft and the Patriots ownership have generally been more positive than negative, although some notable mistakes exist. Letting Tom Brady leave for Tampa Bay in 2020 is a significant regret, and hiring Jerod Mayo as head coach before the 2024 season has drawn criticism. Mayo endured a tough season, resulting in a 4-13 record and subsequent dismissal after just one year. His inexperienced coaching background and lack of authority over the team contributed to a disappointing tenure that was reminiscent of previous coaching failures in franchise history.
Jerod Mayo is one of the league's worst head coaching hires of this century, failing to secure a winning record and losing control of the team.
Mayo had zero head coaching experience and was reportedly chosen as Bill Belichick's successor before Kraft fired Belichick without a national search.
