devin mccourty makes prediction about patriots head coach

The New England Patriots' pivotal transition from the legendary Bill Belichick leading the charge to first-year head coach Jerod Mayo is a lofty change as is, but nobody may have a bigger adjustment within... From becoming a routine defensive assistant on Belichick's coaching staff to being the one handling the reigns after his departure, it's a massive leap in honor as well as responsibility for the former New... After over 20 years of being under Belichick and his prestigious six Super Bowl wins, it's not easy to be his heir apparent in Foxboro. Long-time Patriots veteran and recently retired defensive back Devin McCourty touched on the extensive job Mayo will have to undertake in New England on the "Rise and Schein" podcast, as well as sounding off... "I think the thing that's going to be the biggest transition for him, and [where] he'll continue to grow, is when he said, 'The amount of stuff I do that has nothing to do... I think every new head coach would tell you the same story.

You don't realize how many things Bill Belichick used to handle and do for 24 years as a head coach, and now you're thrust into that role." On the bright side for Mayo, he's not walking into this Patriots team totally blind. Having the ability to work behind Belichick and be on the staff as a linebackers coach since 2019, as well as being on New England's roster as a vital defensive piece from 2008 to... Jason McCourty believes the Patriots are about to "blow things up," including a head-coaching change for the first time since 2000. His twin brother isn't entirely on the same page. Devin McCourty, like anyone else with even an ounce of football knowledge, knows New England needs a major infusion of talent if it wants to return to Super Bowl contender status.

But the recently retired safety doesn't believe a change at the top is imperative to the Patriots righting the ship. "I think it will be Coach Belichick," Devin McCourty said Wednesday on WEEI's "The Greg Hill Show" when asked to predict New England's coach for next season. "I think that should happen. I think there are other things they should do to fix the issues that they've had. This team needs to build over time." The three-time Super Bowl champion went on to explain how New England should try to rebuild through the draft rather than a free agent spending spree, a strategy that didn't work out for the...

Despite reports suggesting that Jerod Mayo will not be fired following his dismal rookie season as the Patriots’ head coach, one former New England player isn’t convinced Mayo’s job, and the rest of the...

Like last year when Jerry Jones came out and said, ‘Mike McCarthy’s gonna be our head coach next year.’ We haven’t heard that.” Jerod Mayo has done a solid job of building up his coaching staff after taking over as head coach of the New England Patriots. And their are a few familiar faces from the Patriots Dynasty. Dont'a Hightower was brought in as the inside linebackers coach, while Matthew Slater is serving as the “right-hand man” to Mayo. And it seems the head coach also tried to bring in another Patriots legend. While appearing on the Up & Adams Show with Kay Adams, Devin McCourty was asked if Mayo even approached him about a potential reunion.

“Nah I’m old and washed up. He tried to get me to coach," McCourty said. "That’s his thing with all the older guys. He says, ‘I don’t know if they’ll walk in back to play, but we got a spot for them on the staff.’ But, nah those hours aren’t meant for my life right now.” New Patriots HC Jerod Mayo tried to get Devin McCourty to join the staffpic.twitter.com/oe4JMNsQBw“Nah I’m old and washed up. He tried to get me to coach.

That’s his thing with all the older guys. He says, ‘I don’t know if they’ll walk in back to play, but we got a spot for them… Is Jerod Mayo ready to be an NFL head coach? Devin McCourty weighs in originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston It's been a long time -- 24 years, in fact -- since the New England Patriots were in the process of hiring a head coach. They might be in that situation as early as next week.

The 2023 NFL regular season ends Sunday when the Patriots host the rival New York Jets at Gillette Stadium. It'll be the final game of the season for the Patriots because they have been eliminated from playoff contention for the third time in the last four years. It also might be the last game for Bill Belichick as head coach of the Patriots. He is under contract through the 2024 campaign, but with the Patriots continuing to go backwards since 2021, it's fair to wonder if both sides could use a fresh start. If Belichick does depart, who would replace him? The best internal candidate is Jerod Mayo, who has been a linebackers coach on the Patriots' staff since 2019.

Mayo decided to remain in New England last offseason despite interest from other teams. He has done a great job coaching the defense and making it the strength of the Patriots for the second straight year. He also has the experience of being a top-tier player after spending all eight of his pro seasons in Foxboro. What Boston really cares about right now. It remains to be seen if Robert Kraft and the Patriots will opt to move on from Bill Belichick once a miserable 2023 season comes to a close. But if New England does opt to part ways with their legendary head coach, the Patriots could have a viable in-house candidate in Jerod Mayo.

An All-Pro linebacker in New England who played his entire eight-year NFL career with the Patriots, Mayo put himself on the national radar as a head-coaching candidate last year while serving as New England’s... Back in January, New England issued a team statement noting the franchise’s plans to keep Mayo “with the team long-term” by way of a contract extension — a move that potentially mapped out Mayo’s... Devin McCourty attended the Patriots’ disastrous Week 17 loss, which saw New England fans clamoring for a head coaching change. While the legendary safety believes Jerod Mayo will keep his job for the 2025 season, it doesn’t sound like anything is set in stone at One Patriot Place. McCourty appeared on Friday’s “Up & Adams” show and relayed the impression he received after speaking with New England coaches. “Overall, in this league, you can never say something is definite until someone comes out and says, ‘This person will be back,'” McCourty told host Kay Adams.

“Just from talking to those guys, I do feel like they feel they’re coaching to make sure they’re back. I don’t think there’s this feeling of, ‘Hey, we’re safe. We’re good.’ I think there is a little bit of a sense of urgency and an edge from everybody there.” Patriots coaches certainly are in a tough spot in Week 18. While Mayo and company surely would like to showcase competitiveness and general competency Sunday, a win could be very detrimental to New England’s future. If the Patriots lose to the Buffalo Bills, it would be beneficial to their draft slot and 2025 schedule.

All told, Robert Kraft and the rest of Patriots brass will have a lot to consider once the season is completed. Tom E. Curran talks with Devin McCourty on the Patriots Talk Podcast about Bill Belichick’s future with New England and whether it’s time for the Kraft’s to move on from him To those who are hoping the New England Patriots move on from Bill Belichick, Devin McCourty warns that the grass may not be greener on the other side. Despite the Patriots' dismal 2023 season -- and the team's overall struggles in the post-Tom Brady era -- McCourty isn't convinced moving on from the legendary head coach is the right move. The former Pats defensive back explained why during a conversation with Tom E.

McCourty believes the way New England has competed over the last month shows Belichick still has a positive impact on the team. Devin McCourty is a true New England Patriots legend. So it's not secret that many would like to see him back in Foxborough, but this time as a coach. However, McCourty put an end to any potential rumors when speaking at Gillette Stadium on Wednesday.

“I will not be on any coaching staff or anything like that,” McCourty said. “I’ll stick to what I’m doing now.” So Sunday Night Football doesn't have to worry about losing one of their popular commentators.
