Coach Mayo

Not watching. Please explain so I can have instant douche chills.
Mayo's nickname for RKK is "Thundercat", and he references him as "Thunder" like 10+ times throughout the conference
My douche chills have douche chills.
What a gay nickname. It becomes P-town gay when you keep repeating it. Not a good start.
Tried to watch it, but they lost me when Mayo decided that interjecting DEI into the press conference was a good idea.

How fucking lame, no wonder Booster Seat picked Mayo.

Me too, came here to say Mayo made a big deal about being the first black Patriots coach. So fucking cringe. Having real doubts about whether I can care about this Pats team.
Thanks to @Fpcolt for starting a thread in the Politics forum on this. Figured I'd put it here as well. Isn't mayo white?
Twitter link didn't open for some reason. In short..... Mayo: "I do see color"

I definitely expected Mr Social Justice McCourty to be there. Hooray for the New England Diversities! We may not win, but we'll feel good about ourselves.

Mayo's first move as HC was to change Pat the Patriot.

We need to discuss the blundering panic move by Kraft last season to write a coaching succession clause into the contract of an assistant coach/de facto coordinator who had virtually no chance to land a head coaching job with another team.
Breer had an article yesterday where Kraft said he regretted a hire earlier in his career and learned his lesson. It made no sense but was basically kissing Kraft’s ass because Kraft’s gut is supposedly always right. Except the contract with Mayo dispels the entire point of the article. The Patriots were handcuffed out of a head coaching search with guys like Harbaugh and Vrabel available because of Kraft’s panic move to prevent Mayo from leaving last year.
All that said, I’m not really pessimistic about Mayo. Coaching is really overrated. I don’t love that they’re going internal. I hope they decide on an outsider as OC rather than some Bill/Josh stooge.

"When you look around the room it should look a certain way" Yeah no shit, it should look like winners, football players that can win games.
The contract had a buyout clause. So Kraft could have gotten out of things just by paying off Mayo, if he'd wanted to.

Didn’t know that. It’s baffling why they didn’t conduct a real interview process given there’s such a small risk of losing Mayo to another team.
Mayo has one major thing that Vrabel and Harbaugh do not possess.

The answer, judging by the press conference, is that the black dude was down for Israel.

Nothing predicts football success as well as geopolitical sympathies.
