Mayo, who was groomed as Belichick’s successor, now faces the challenge of assembling his coaching staff. In an attempt to secure a special teams coordinator, the Patriots pursued Marquice Williams from the Atlanta Falcons. However, Williams declined the offer, choosing to remain with the Falcons, where he has been serving as the special teams coordinator since 2021.

Given Williams’ success in Atlanta, it’s understandable why he turned down a lateral move. Mayo and the Patriots must now explore other options to fill coordinator positions on the coaching staff. Fortunately, there are numerous qualified and intriguing candidates available for Mayo to consider poaching from various teams around the league.
The process of building a strong coaching staff holds significant importance for Mayo, who is stepping into the head coaching role for the first time. Observers will be keen to see how Mayo navigates this task and how the coaching staff takes shape in the coming weeks.
