A new report from The Athletic shed light on some of the inexperience from Jerod Mayo that led to his eventual firing.

From a lack of talent on the roster to his inexperience and struggles with discipline, Mayo had little chance to succeed in New England.

Mayo, named Bill Belichick’s successor a year ago, was fired on Sunday after the Patriots’ 23-16 win over the Bills in the regular-season finale. The former Patriots linebacker, 38, posted a 4-13 record as head coach. Kraft added Monday he “went back and forth” on the situation over the past month.
