Former New England Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo is being considered for the Pittsburgh Steelers linebackers coach role, according to Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Ray Fittipaldo. Mayo, who had a disappointing stint as the Patriots’ head coach, may find a fresh start in Pittsburgh.
Fittipaldo praised Mayo’s potential, saying, “Mayo has never played or coached anywhere else… He’s always been a Patriot; obviously he’ll be looking for a job now. I like that idea. Bring somebody in who’s been a part of successful teams and see what he can add to your program.”
Mayo’s experience as a linebacker in the league could make him an excellent fit for the Steelers. Despite his struggles as a head coach, Mayo may thrive in a positional coaching role, regaining his confidence and reputation in the process.
Could this be Mayo’s ticket to redemption? Steelers fans will be watching closely to see if Mayo joins the team and makes a positive impact.
