The reason I'm losing my mind is they fired him after his Zoom call with the media, got dayum that's an extra layer of "git the F out!"
let’s let him embarrass himself ONE MORE TIME before we pull the plug.
Gladly give up the 3rd pick for Coach K and JJ McCarthy.

surprising.. Thought they give him one more season.
I wonder if the win knocking them out of the first pick had any influence.
I would bet heavily on Vrabel
Same - as per the bolded, it was a pretty abrupt termination after the game and certainly could be there was some sort of conversation already going on with Vrabel. He's not currently employed, so no concerns about tampering.
NE had a pre-written press release that they distributed when the game was over. They had already made their decision and the final game didn’t make any difference.
I wonder if they felt they needed to honor the agreement with Mayo first whether through sticking to their word or fear of backlash should they renig on a deal with a minority coach.
Yep just saw that. Least shocking one. I think Doug might catch on to a team as an assistant to the regional manager as a favor from a friend but his days as head coach are probably over.
If the Jags don't fire their GM, they will have to settle for bottom of the barrel coaching candidates.
This is right. Unprovens or retreads.....Pete Carroll would fit right in to the land of the early bird special. Ron Rivera? The Tampa OC?
Bonehead move keeping Baalke.

He was dreadful
To be fair to Mayo, he never should have been the head coach to begin with (and they gave him very little talent to work with). Having a rookie head coach with every secondary coach in roles they never were in before was not the best of moves by NE. The Pats were in a tough spot, as no one wanted any of the jobs they had available. Either guys refused their calls, or they spoke with / interviewed them and they all declined. I mentioned in another thread that they probably should have let BB play out his contract, take that entire year to put together a better succession plan than Mayo, and save a wasted year of a lame duck coaching staff that was there as a bridge the gap until the next staff for 2025. NE needs to move on from other people . . . let's see if they actually do it.
This one really surprised me.
I think Daboll is a good coach. Schoen seems to be the one that needs to be fired. That being said its hard to fire a GM and not the coach because he would want to be bring his own guy in. I think it makes sense to give this regime a chance at bringing in their own QB (remember they inherited Jones and subsequently made the mistake to extend him after he won a playoff game).
By running it back, I think it's unlikely that they'll roll right away with Ward/Sanders if they wind up drafting one them. Schoen/Daboll are assuredly on the hot seat and they probably can't wait for a rookie to blossom. Maybe they get a bridge guy of their own - who that is, I have no idea though.
The Bears will be dumb if they don't bring in an offensive minded HC to help Caleb take a step forward.x.com

They should only be looking at offensively minded head coaches. Although as a Vikes fan I hope they don't.
Agreed - thought it would be a few more today although many obvious ones have already been in play due to in-season firings.
