🏈 This week on Missing the Point, Rayshawn Buchanan and Mikey Marcangelo tackle one of the most significant shakeups in New England Patriots history. The Patriots ended their season with a disappointing 4-13 record, and Robert Kraft wasted no time in making changes, firing head coach Jerod Mayo just hours after their final game. It’s a decision that shocked the NFL world but was met with relief by many Patriots fans.
We dive deep into the fallout of Mayo’s firing, analyzing whether he was set up to fail or simply not the right fit for the head coaching role. What went wrong this season, and how did one of the NFL's most successful franchises fall so far, so fast? More importantly, where do the Patriots go from here?
👨🏫 We’ll explore the top candidates for the Patriots’ next head coach—could Mike Vrabel or Bill O’Brien return? What about an outside hire like Ben Johnson? The hosts also discuss how the Patriots can maximize their #4 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Should they draft a quarterback, bolster their offensive line, or snag a defensive playmaker? This episode is your ultimate breakdown of the Patriots’ offseason strategies and the franchise’s path back to dominance.
🎙️ But that’s not all! In the second half of the show, we’re joined by a very special guest, Drew Carter, the voice of the Boston Celtics on NBC Sports Boston. Drew shares his journey of stepping into the legendary Mike Gorman’s shoes and gives us a behind-the-scenes look at calling games for the defending NBA champions.
From the Celtics’ recent struggles in December to their bounce-back performances, Drew provides valuable insights into the team’s chemistry, the growth of key players like Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, and what to expect in the second half of the season. He also breaks down the importance of Kristaps Porzingis, Derrick White, and the Celtics’ stacked bench in their pursuit of back-to-back championships.
