Patriots In No Rush To Hire General Manager

Patriots In No Rush To Hire General Manager

10 months ago

The New England Patriots promoting linebackers coach Jerod Mayo to head coach to replace Bill Belichick gives the Kraft family the opposite of a power coach. As a result, reports suggest the Patriots are in no rush to hire a general manager and could wait until after the draft to amplify the impression. "The owner has been held back for 20 years. He is going to be involved. His son is going to want to be involved. It will be interesting if they tell the coach it was Bill's fault with Mac Jones and he can play and we gotta get him right," a veteran coach said. The Patriots hold the third pick in the upcoming draft and could select a quarterback then. Matt Groh and Eliot Wolf will continue to run the operation in the front office for New England and they'll likely interview additional candidates for leadership positions, but there's no guarantee anyone at the moment will be named GM.
