Here we are — one year, one overmatched one-and-done Belichick successor, and you’re right back where you started from last January.

Roughly 12 months after Patriots owner Robert Kraft parted ways with Belichick, Kraft fired Mayo after one season as HC.

Robert Kraft bypassed a typical coaching search last year. After firing Jerod Mayo after one season, the Patriots owner can't repeat that same mistake.

Kraft did the only thing he could do after the Jerod Mayo firing. He took blame for the "situation" and set out to fix his fallen franchise.

Bill Belichick gave a hilarious reaction after the Patriots fired former head coach Jerod Mayo after Week 18's win.

College doesn't seem to have changed Bill Belichick. The new head coach of the North Carolina Tar Heels made his weekly appearance on the Pat McAfee Show on Monday and when asked about the head coaching situation in New England he gave a vintage Belichick response.

The former Patriots coach opted not to take a victory lap during his weekly appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Monday.

The long-time Patriots coach said that it was Robert Kraft’s decision to oust his successor, but once again pointed to a Jonathan Kraft and Robyn Glaser having the owner’s ear. Belichick then added that he believed a “shared vision” was key to his success in New England, but said it evaporated during his final four seasons.
