Patriots

Patriots owner Robert Kraft commented on his decision to hire HC Jerod Mayo, who got his first win Sunday against the Bengals.

“I just thought having him (Mayo) and Eliot (Wolf) and Matt Groh, they’re all sort of green now. They’ve all been here,” Kraft told Karen Guregian of MassLive.com. “But the responsibilities, at least on Eliot, and especially Jerod, are huge. I’m always thinking about what’s right for the long term. Our businesses are private. I don’t need to make reports to Wall Street every 90 days. I do what the right thing is strategically long term. And I think I’ve done that with Jerod. I’m going to do what my gut tells me, and stay with it until I’m convinced it’s not right.”
