How the fuck did McDaniels not get this job at least?
I have less of a problem with Kraft hiring Mayo and more of a problem with how/when. Like he decided a couple years ago or whatever, and completely forgoing the interview process. Dude hasn't hired a HC in 24 years and you go about it that way? Just fucking stupid. To be clear I don't care for Mayo so far.. but if Kraft had interviewed a half dozen guys, including Vrabel who's an obvious fit.. and then decided on Mayo at least that would signify he did his due diligence.We could have had Vrabel and Kraft would have rather gotten praised for hiring a black man than hiring the best guy for the position. It’s like he’s stuck in 2016 and doesn’t realize that the country tried DEI and it failed on just about every level possible (as predicted).
We were already looking at a 3-5 year rebuild timeframe and, if Kraft got the coach and GM wrong, we could be toiling in mediocrity for a decade.
