Patriots owner Robert Kraft officially introduced Jerod Mayo as New England’s new head coach Wednesday, saying he’s confident the team landed the right guy despite not launching a coaching search this year.
“I have that same conviction when I hired Bill Belichick, a decision that many questioned at the time and told me I was making a major error,” Kraft said, according to Jori Epstein of Yahoo Sports.
“I’ve learned to trust my instincts throughout my career, and I trust Jerod is the right person to lead the Patriots back to championship-level contention and long-term success,” he added.
