The Felger and Maz podcast is presented by Draft King Sportsbook.

To me, the whole thing with the finger under between the legs, antiquated, archaid, and weird.

The whole thing is freaking silly.

It's Felger and Mass.

Presented by Draft King Sportsbook on 985, The Sports Hub. The plan was the plan. I thought it was so strange that the story emerged as Gerard Mayo being a very viable candidate for the job. I think this was from NFL media. He is a very viable candidate because they have a contract already in place. It's like, well, wait a minute. Hang on. Hang on, Ian. If the contract's already in place, he's already got the job. He's not a candidate. You're going to have to write him a massive check to buy him out. You have promised him the job in advance to just even have a search that would include him and Mike Vrablebel and anyone else, you've got to buy this guy out. So they made the decision that Mayo was the guy, and they reduced it to writing, and they were going to owe him, and I don't know what the number is, but it would have been something at least in the seven figures. Maybe low eight figures, I don't know, but they would have owed him a lot of money if they didn't give him the job. Because there had been this presumption it was going to be Mayo, and at some point during the season, it felt like is this so bad that they have to clean out everybody, that anyone with any connection to Belichick has to go, and it's going to be a hard reset everyone out and we're going to start from

scratch and they decided not to do it and one of the business reasons surely is we've already

made this commitment to gerard maya when you're listing the pros and cons one of the cons of

a hard reset is we got to pay this guy a bunch of money to not take the job that we've already

promised to him.

All right, a couple important details have come out in the last 24 hours about the Patriot staff. That's one of them. That not just was Gerard Mayle promised that head coaching job in writing,

but that if they didn't give it to them, they were going to owe him a buyout.

So not only are they paying off Belichick probably, $20 to $25 million,

they would have had to add on Gerard Mayo's money on top of it.

And is that informing our decision on why they just went with Gerard Mayo,

didn't even talk to anybody?

Is this why it looks

like the staff the rest of the staff is um well it's really affordable there's one way to say you

say because they on the cheap as the other uh great batard of the boston sports general joins us back
