According to reports, jerod mayo, the new england patriots coach, will be relying on a trusted ally to help him with his strength and conditioning program this season and possibly beyond. Deron mayo, the younger brother of the 15th head coach in franchise history, is expected to play a larger part in the team he has helped prepare since 2018. Mayo, 35, has aided coach moses cabrera, who isn’t expected to return in 2024. Mayo is the most likley candidate for the top job, according to a espn sunday morning poll. “in his introductory news conference, jerod mayo said, “i think the weight room is one of the most important areas in the building to evaluate the people you have on your team,” according to espn’s mike reiss. “it wouldn’t be a surprise if mayo’s brother, deron, is promoted to a leading coaching position after serving as a strength and conditioning assistant for the past six seasons,” he said.
Moses cabrera, the head strength and conditioning coach for the past eight seasons, is unlikely to return.” mayo began his football career on the collegiate gridiron. Hofstra played his first three seasons before transferring to old dominion university for his senior season. though he was signed to the denver broncos as an undrafted free agent in 2011, his on-field career took him to the canadian football league (cfl). Mayo played for the calgary stampeders for six seasons, completing 277 tackles, 14 sacks, four fumble recoveries, and one intercept. He was a standout linebacker and special teamer for calgary in 2014, winning the grey cup championship.
May joined the patriots’ conditioning staff one year before being promoted as inside linebackers coach under bill belichick. Although mayo’s appointment has yet to be confirmed, it will help to put the finishing touches to a re-imagined new england coaching staff for the forthcoming season. In addition to jerod mayo as the team’s new head coach, the pats will also employ alex van pelt as the new offensive coordinator, demarcus covington as the new defensive coordinator, and jeremy springer as the new defensive coordinator. New england has also recruited several high-profile assistants, including offensive assistant ben mcadoo, assistant receivers coach tiquan underwood, and linebackers coach — and former patriots quarterback — dont’a hightower.
