You have to wonder if Kraft thinks there\u2019s someone out there that could come in and possibly be better.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Robert Kraft clearly values having a relationship with his head coach, as their connection has been touted ever since the 38-year-old was introduced into his new role back in January. Jonathan Kraft, however, reportedly isn\u2019t as on board with keeping things the same.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>Robert and Jonathan don\u2019t agree, so they\u2019re going to let everything play out as much as possible before ultimately making a decision.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s kind of obvious, no?<\/p>\n<p>Mayo isn\u2019t exactly in the best spot, which you can probably tell by looking at the upcoming schedule. The Patriots are looking for \u201cimprovements\u201d before matchups with the Buffalo Bills, Los Angeles Chargers and\u2026 oh boy, the Bills for a second time. It\u2019d be nearly impossible for most coaches to suddenly end lead a 3-11 team to victories over those clubs, so if the first-year man can do it, maybe he should hold onto his job.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t seem likely, though, does it?<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Patriots aren&#8217;t ready to decide whether or not they&#8217;ll give Jerod Mayo another season as head coach, but the mood appears to be shifting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":19604,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19601","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
