Patriots fans have been calling for Jerod Mayo to be fired for the majority of the season, and they got their wish when New England announced they moved on from the first-year coach after just one season.
After the news broke, Patriots fans flooded social media with exuberance about the decision.
With more than 1,000 comments under Robert Kraft’s official statement, here are some of the best from fans who agreed Mayo should not return for a second season.
