Mayo acknowledged on Friday that he isn't sure yet if he'll have the final say on any possible changes to the staff this offseason. "Well, it's the first time I've gotten to the end of a season," Mayo told reporters when asked if making any changes to the coaching staff would solely be his call.
Of course, it's still unclear whether Mayo will remain as the Patriots' head coach following the 2024 season. New England has gone 3-13 in Mayo's first season, with fans calling the team to fire him during the team's Week 17 loss.
If Mayo is retained, the next question will become what he does with his offensive and defensive coordinators. Each unit ranks toward the bottom of the league in yards (30th in total yards, 23rd in yards allowed)... Van Pelt didn't have a prior relationship with Mayo before being hired last offseason.
Mayo was pretty brief when asked what Van Pelt has brought in terms of leadership on the offensive side of the ball this season. "Steadiness," Mayo responded. "He's a steady guy."
