Report: Jerod Mayo To Interview For Broncos Head Coaching Position
BOSTON (CBS) -- The Patriots' season is officially over, which means it's job interview season for Jerod Mayo.
That journey will begin in earnest this week, as the Patriots' inside linebackers coach will be interviewing for the vacant job in Denver, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Mayo -- who may not actually be the de factor defensive coordinator, as Bill Belichick has referenced calls made by his son, Steve, throughout the year -- is also expected to be a "leading candidate" for the vacant Texans job.
Mayo's in just his third year on the Patriots' coaching staff, after an eight-season playing career in New England. The Patriots' defense has ranked first, 15th, and fourth in yards allowed during Mayo's three years on the staff.
The Broncos went 19-30 over the past three years under Vic Fangio.
