Following the New England Patriots' decision to fire head coach Jerod Mayo, Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla reacted, highlighting the broader implications of such a move on coaching staff and their families.
Mazzulla emphasized the stress associated with coaching changes, stating that it affects not just the head coach but also assistants who relocate their families for the job. He refrained from commenting on the fairness of Mayo's firing but underscored the reality that coaches are often hired to be fired.
As the Patriots search for a replacement, Mike Vrabel emerges as the leading candidate for the head coaching position, a role he was considered for even before Mayo's dismissal.
