Here’s When Patriots Plan To Hold Jerod Mayo News Conference

It'll take place next week

It’s official: Jerod Mayo is the 15th head coach of the Patriots.

New England announced Mayo’s promotion in an official release Friday afternoon. The news arrived a day after Bill Belichick “mutually” parted ways with the franchise.

The Patriots also announced they will hold a news conference next Wednesday at noon ET, when Mayo will meet with reporters at Gillette Stadium.

Mayo is the first Black head coach in Patriots history. The 37-year-old also is the youngest head coach in the NFL, beating Sean McVay by a month.
