When Robert Kraft hired Jerod Mayo a year ago, he felt he’d identified the right person to follow Bill Belichick.

New England Patriots' longtime owner Robert Kraft was pointing the finger at himself after another 4-13 season, while explaining his firing of Jerod Mayo.

One of the questions in the aftermath of Mayo's firing is the status of the front office, particularly vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf. During the presser, Kraft not only illustrated that Wolf's job is safe, but noted that he, along with personnel executive Alonzo Highsmith, will help lead the team in their head coaching search.
