DoleINGout Posted January 17 Author Share Posted January 17 well… the intro presser with robert kraft was interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jofos Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I have a bad feeling about this... Kraft basically saying the coach has little to no control over who gets picked and Mayo talking about his job being to develop people is pretty scary.

DoleINGout Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 im paraphrasing for effect but robert kraft essentially saying he’s been married twice so he has a good feeling about mayo… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoleINGout Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 and kraft referenced the cheesy (forgivr the stupid pun) coincidence of their last names … i knew that would be enough to win robert over. that’s what this is all about. condiments.

I could have done without a couple Thunder comments, but I was encouraged by the presser. I love Mayo's mentality. I'm pretty confident he's a great leader- whether that will translate to wins- tbd.

LD696 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Listened to the introductory presser and... ooof, it was cringe as hell. Is it always this bad? What I liked: Mayo, at least rhetorically (now), understand the need and necessity of hiring from the outside sometimes. He's aware of not knowing/being competent in everything, the need to compartmentalize the organization and listening to other experts. He wants to be a player's coach. (This is a pet peeve of mine, but coaches and administrators need to listen to players on and off the field. Those people are professionals as well and can have valuable input about coaching, the game and organization. Those opinions should be weighted, of course, but you cannot brush them aside - that's how you pull a JMD and lose locker rooms.) What I didn't like: He wants to be a player's coach (if he cannot keep the equilibrium and starts favoring players and schemes at the detriment of the organization and the team). 100 % blatant buddy hire. Calling Kraft Thunder or whatever, like how old are you, 10? The not-so-subtle jabs at Belichick sometimes by both. Unnecessary and unprofessional. Diversity blather and the constant reference to Mayo having a successful career in business. I hope none of those "professional" management methods and practices carry over. Overall 5/10, still vacillating about this hire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall 5/10, still vacillating about this hire. at this point i am encouraged by there being some change… but im not convinced mayo is anything more than the new team mascot. tons of energy, super excitable, speaks to the fans, and based on the qualifications right now at least - pretty much anyone else could do the job while the “experts” handle the important stuff under the Kraft’s.

m haynes Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I'll get to the point I hate the hire. He sounds like he just finish his 1st class in management 101. I dealt (work) with college kids interviews and had flashbacks, puke send a rejection letter. Players coach that only works when you win. He smart really well he should of paid more attention in class. WE want a QB basically at 3 !!!!!!! Shut up. Talking to Curran was obviiuos. TC my source say it Mayo., with a huge smurk on his face. I;m pretty sure he quareenteed it. Also he lacks experience. There not one fan that would take Mayo over Vrabel. If they did, they are puppets that believe what the Krafts and Curran are saying about Mayo. I'm not. Would you bet your house on Mayo over Vrabel ????? Forgot, the cracks said by Mayo about BB. Shut your mouth. I say they turn on him in 2yrs unless Daniels is the new Brady. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like him at all. The injuries are a HUGE, MAJOR problem for me and him as well. Against MU the pressure made him look like Mac. Than he had some rib injury , hurt again and he bailed on every snap. Also go back and watch the tape. He struggle when he moves and another eye opener. is he only looks at half the field to his right which is strange for a lefty. The only time he looks left is a bomb. I watched years of football. IMO injury prone picks have little value. That why I had a melt down when BB took DT Easley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That why I had a melt down when BB took DT Easley. difference is easley was injured at the time of the pick and was undersized relying on athleticism. it was a terrible pick all around. penix is the best pure thrower in the class of qb’s this year and is healthy barring a rib injury in the championship game. he played all year and was second in heismen voting. i think your bias and everyone else’s against his injury history is clouding the talent that is very apparent with penix. that said, i think mayo views daniels as the clear cut choice at 3. i hope he is there. maye doesnt do much for me and neither really does caleb but neither is that bad.
