Speaking on Monday after making the call to fire Jerod Mayo after one season as Patriots head coach, team owner Robert Kraft bemoaned his decision to elevate the 38-year-old to a position that he wasn’t quite ready for.

Pats fans were rooting for him. But as verbal missteps continued, it became obvious Mayo lacked the proper amount of head-coach training.

The Patriots have to avoid becoming a revolving door of head coaching hires because of the devastating impact that could have on the team as a whole. It could hurt quarterback Drake Maye’s development, while also making the team a far less attractive destination for prospective coaches and players.
