Former Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski was \u201cshocked\u201d over the Patriots\u2019 decision to fire head coach Jerod Mayo on Sunday shortly after the regular season came to an end.<\/p>\n
Gronkowski couldn\u2019t hide his feelings during the Fox halftime show as he made somewhat critical comments about the decision by Patriots owner Robert Kraft.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI was shocked by that,\u201d Gronkowski said during the show. \u201cTo happen that soon was a shocker to a lot of people. Especially here at the desk. We were all surprised by that. I think it was unfair to coach Jerod Mayo. I mean, he never had the chance to develop as a head coach. He was just a rookie himself in that department. If you judge a coach by their first year, that\u2019s really not appropriate. Jimmy Johnson, you went 1-15 in your first year and you won a couple Super Bowls after that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\t“Obviously Mr Kraft didn’t see Jerod Mayo being that culture builder that he was hoping to be over the last season, and obviously Mr. Kraft has a plan as well going forward.” @RobGronkowski shares his thoughts on the Patriots parting ways with HC Jerod Mayo after one season pic.twitter.com\/arQvt02M2p\u2014 FOX Sports: NFL (@NFLonFOX) January 5, 2025 <\/p>\n
Gronkowski played nine seasons with the Patriots, winning four Super Bowl titles with the team, and had been a teammate of Mayo\u2019s for six of those seasons, which may explain Gronkowski\u2019s somewhat passionate reaction.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Patriots announced the decision after the team won their season finale against the Bills.<\/p>\n
Mayo lasted just one year at the helm in New England and coached the team to a 4-13 record, but Gronkowski clearly didn\u2019t feel that warranted ending his time as coach that quickly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In another studio segment, Gronkowski softened his tone a bit and suggested that Kraft may have a plan while also mentioning the rumors that Mike Vrabel could be atop the Patriots\u2019 wish list for a coach.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI was surprised by that,\u201d Gronkowski said about the decision during a separate halftime show on Fox. \u201cRookie head coach. The roster that he was handed wasn\u2019t that prominent. It\u2019s tough, it\u2019s a tough situation in New England. Obviously, Mr. Kraft didn\u2019t see Jerod Mayo being that culture builder that he was hoping to be over the last season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And obviously Mr. Kraft has a plan as well going forward. Probably hoping to get Mike Vrabel. There is some rumbling out there as well that Josh McDaniels may come back as well as offensive coordinator.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mayo had replaced legendary head coach Bill Belichick after he went his separate ways from the organization following the 2023 season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
