Supposedly a big reason why Mayo got fired was Mike Vrabel.
Earlier Vrabel let Kraft know that he was interested in the Cheats HC job.
Reportedly Vrabel's Jets visit / interview was for leverage to get Kraft to make a move...to create an opening.

Was told that Mike Vrabel’s dalliance w/ Jets was to put pressure on Patriots to make a move.
With a young, incredibly promising QB (who improved every week despite very little talent around him), more cap space than anyone and stable ownership, of course the NE job ranks high.
