The New England Patriots are retaining special teams coordinator Jeremy Springer, according to a report from NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport on Monday. Springer had the second overall special teams unit in the NFL, per statistics from Pro Football Focus. So it would make sense that coach Mike Vrabel would like to retain that success on the team.

In the wake of New England’s decision to fire Mayo on Sunday following a disastrous 4-13 campaign, The Athletic reported Wednesday how the former linebacker-turned-coach “didn’t offer” Steve Belichick, the son of former head coach Bill Belichick, “the chance to continue calling plays” on defense as he had done in previous years.

From a lack of talent on the roster to his inexperience and struggles with discipline, Mayo had little chance to succeed in New England.
