Eliot Wolf is expected to return as the lead personnel executive for the New England Patriots, per The Athletic’s Chad Graff. The news on Wolf comes after Patriots owner Robert Kraft announced the team’s decision to fire Jerod Mayo as head coach. Some wondered if a potential Mayo firing could lead to the team blowing the entire operation up.

Pats fans were rooting for him. But as verbal missteps continued, it became obvious Mayo lacked the proper amount of head-coach training.

After enjoying one of the lengthiest periods of coaching stability under Bill Belichick, the Patriots are going the one-and-done rout with Jerod Mayo.
