No doubt a good middle ground between Belichick's "Patriot Way" philosophy and the current trend of "Player's Coaches". Going to be quite a turnaround in NE though. Their future GM is not inheriting much other than the #3 pick.

from one of the oldest coaches to the now youngest

Liked Mayo as a player coming out of college. After watching some recent interviews, I’m even more impressed with the person. Seems like a very smart and likable dude. I think he will do just fine.

I heard the same thing and it was on on file the the NFL office.  That's why didn't have to do the coaching interview process.  First time I've ever heard that happen.
