After a disappointing 4-13 season, Jerod Mayo is the first Patriots head coach to be fired after one season since 1990, marking a significant organizational shift.
The Patriots must conduct a comprehensive head coaching search this time, fulfilling the Rooney Rule and considering diverse candidates, unlike their previous quick hire of Mayo.
Executive Vice President Eliot Wolf's anticipated return could influence the coaching search, especially with a high draft pick and significant cap space available for the Patriots.
A new head coach will bring their own offensive and defensive staff, placing the futures of current coordinators like Van Pelt and Covington in uncertainty under a new regime.
