NFL notebook: Patriots assistant Jerod Mayo says he’s ready to be NFL coach
The linebackers coach for the Patriots thinks he's ready to a head coaching position, whenever and wherever he gets chance.

Mayo was interviewing for DC and HC jobs when the Kraft's basically paid him to stay: a new contract with a bonus. Mayo immediately stopped interviewing.
Folks guessed that he had been promised the HC position when Bill left.
I'm not suggesting any ultimatums by Mayo, not at all. However, I think that it is time for all again to come to agreeable terms.
Bill hasn't even made Mayo DC. After all, that would mean that one of his sons reported to Mayo instead of directly to him.
=========
The time has come. Mayo will again get offers. Obviously, he will be called for dozens of interviews. It is time for him to continue to grow in his coaching skills somewhere else.
Then, one or both of Belichick's sons would get well-deserved promotions, one to LB coach and the other to DC. Perhaps, Steve could only be DC for one of the defensive coaches reporting to a HC that we all know: Belichick or Vrabel (or Mayo).
This should work for all concerned, so matter who is GM and/or HC next year.
