They also interviewed Mayo for the GM position at the same time as the head coaching spot so problem solved

You need to interview external candidates for GM/HC to satisfy the Rooney rule.

Not being intimately familiar with Patriots internal politics, why wouldn't you want to interview a bunch of different candidates? What has this Wolf guy done that makes him such a lock for the position?

Basically this lol. Kraft ran Bill out of town on a rail but also is promoting a bunch of guys Bill himself picked to succeed him :iiam:. Although to be fair Wolf is not a typical dipshit Belichick disciple, he was in Green Bay's front office for like 15 years before coming over. Of course, he only had a job in Green Bay because his dad used to be their GM. Because the NFL is just one giant nepotism circle jerk. He seems to be reasonably well thought of, though?

They didn't because apparently written succession plans are exempt from the Rooney Rule. But also, he's black.

quote:

The rapid promotion of Mayo, arriving less than 24 hours after Belichick's departure, results from a clause within the Rooney Rule that allows teams to bypass that minority interview requirement with a written succession plan.

I mean they just let him run the start of free agency with the largest cap space and the draft where the Patriots were picking 3rd which isn't really something you'd do if you didn't trust him to do the job already.

The logic FWIW is that Bill constantly blew off the advice of his own scouts and front office guys to take giga-trash players for 5 years in a row or something.

~Allegedly~

Front office guys who left the Pats have done better than Bill himself lately sooo :shrug:

I think there is probably plenty of truth to this. Belichick loved to draft guys that his college friends recommended. He also put a premium on drafting guys that were "versatile" and could play on special teams, but too often this was at the expense of the actual position they were supposed to play and actually sucked at. He was more interested in players that exhibited his brand of football IQ, guys who would fall in line and not ask questions - he'd draft randos from small schools because they seemed more like the round peg that would fit rather than any of the more accomplished athletic choices available.

That being said, I'm skeptical that the Patriot's scouting department was recommending him five All Pro's every year to draft.

Yeah I know he’s black that’s why I made the joke that they also interviewed him for the GM position to fulfill the requirement while skirting the actual rule.

The Patriots didn't draft an undersized Rutgers DB this year so there's clearly something's different going on in the draft department :shrug:

Using the top 3 picks on the top 3 offensive needs was crazy to watch.

I mean, the picks might suck but it's definitely different from late career Bill.

Two bad at least two of those picks were reaches.

The reality is, they needed a franchise QB, a WR1 and a starting LT. There is almost no way to get all that in one draft without setting future day one draft picks on fire.
