Jerod Mayo is just 11 months removed from interviewing for the Denver Broncos head coaching job before the team went with Nathaniel Hackett.
Now that the Broncos are in the market for Hackett’s replacement, Mayo could be in line to get a second shot.
“I think I’m ready to be a head coach in the league,” Mayo said Tuesday, via the Boston Herald. “But I have to say this, too: right now, my focus is on being here with the Patriots. But that’s definitely still the goal.”
Hackett was fired on Monday, just one day after Denver’s 51-14 blowout loss to the Los Angeles Rams. He had a 4-11 record in his first run as a head coach.
Under his guidance, the Broncos ranked 25th in total offense, last in scoring offense, fifth in total defense, and seventh in scoring defense.
