Patriots LB coach Jerod Mayo interviewing for Broncos head-coaching job Wednesday
Patriots inside linebackers coach Jerod Mayo has turned the page to next season.
And depending on how the next several days unfold, that may mean switching teams.
Mayo will interview for the Broncos head-coaching job on Wednesday, according to the NFL Network. It was originally reported last week that Denver had interest in Mayo, who maintained he wouldn’t interview for until after the Patriots’ playoff run ended. The Pats finished their season with a thud Saturday, losing a 47-17 Wild Card playoff game at Buffalo.
Mayo is one of 10 known candidates for the job. The Broncos have already completed interviews with Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn, Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett and Packers quarterbacks coach Luke Getsy.
Mayo has also drawn significant interest from the Houston Texans, according to reports. Last season, he interviewed with the Eagles for their head-coaching job that eventually went to former Colts offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni. Mayo addressed his interview experience in Philadelphia and long-held coaching aspirations with reporters last week.
“It was a great experience,” the 35-year-old coach said of the Eagles interview. “I was able to go out there and talk a lot about football, talk a lot about different philosophies. It’s good to have those conversations whether it’s around leadership philosophy, or team philosophy, team structure, all that stuff.
“So I love talking ball, I love developing people. That’s one of the things I enjoy doing. That’s always been the goal for me.”
Mayo added Bill Belichick has been supportive of his pursuit of a head-coaching job.
“Yeah, Bill’s been great with us. He’s been an open book for me, whether we’re talking about X’s and O’s, or structuring a team, or anything like that. He’s been great,” Mayo said. “(Matt Patricia) has been a great resource. All of these guys have been great resources for me.”
