Jerod Mayo as Belichick's successor?

[TN Jed]

Would be cool if a VFL were an NFL head coach.....

 

[TNHopeful505]

He's been in the running for several NFL jobs. It wouldn't surprise me to see this happen.

 

[volfan4evr]

Mike Vrabel

 

[supersmo18]

Wish him the best, but over my dead body would this make me a Pats fan if it were to happen.

Lowkey, he is one of my favorite all time players on defense. Dude was steady eddie at linebacker for us.

 

[BigBadVol]

Kirby Smart.

Jerrod Mayo was a heck of a lot better than steady Eddie. He was a super star.

 

[peaygolf]

Mike Vrabel

Yea. Right.

I’ve had three player jerseys in my life. Deion Sanders (cowboys), Peyton (Vols), Mayo (Vols)

Kirby Smart.

This is the rumor going around athens. Kinda fits with some of the decommits and transfers they are having...

 

[VolInDayton]

Kirby goes to the Patriot and Mayo replaces Banks would be the perfect scenario.

Would be a DUMB move by Smart. He's setup at GA to make the playoffs every year and have superior talent than most every other team.

Well part of the RUMOR is that his deal for NE is $17 million a year. No recruiting or NIL to deal with. Would be hard for anybody to turn down that money. Big risk as far as being successful though..

Kirby doesn’t strike me as an NFL guy but I wouldn’t blame him for trying it. NFL head coaches are notorious workaholics but they only have to concentrate on football and do get to enjoy somewhat of an off season. They’re just under more pressure to win immediately. In college it’s a 24/7 365 grind with no let up. He has the perfect situation at UGA but that contract and work schedule would tempt anybody.

 

[butchna]

He’d have been a HC for several years if he wasn’t intent on succeeding Belichick imo. His star power was higher than DeMeco Ryans who’s been a raging success. This is a copycat league and this would be the defensive candidate equivalent of teams getting their own Kyle Shanahan.

 

[MurphyVol]

Does the NFL allow coaches to wear women's tennis visors?

 

[Volbrando]

I could see Kirby going pro. Way less stress to deal with I would think at that level

Kirby leaves, Saban retires.... TN becomes SEC king again Merry Christmas

Maybe not, but for some the ego just can't be contained. In a room full of 100 head football coaches, there are 100 smartest guys in the room. And not only is the schedule better, it's a more prestigious gig--only 32 positions available.

He's already done what's needed in Athens. They're going to put a statue of him in front Sanford Stadium one day.

 

[tvolsfan]

Mike Vrabel

They would need to trade for him.

 

[Volizona]

Would like to see him as a head coach for another team so I can pull for him to succeed.

Yeah, he'll scratch the NFL itch like Saban, realize he hates it, and be ready to jump back to the SEC just as Saban retires and Bama will hire him. That would be our luck.

 

[Special Ed]

I'll allow it.
But I've always hated the Patriots and Belichick.

 

[Tman44]

I do not envy anyone following Bill Belichick in New England. First, you are replacing the GOAT of coaching, then the roster in NE is ABSOLUTELY atrocious.
