The New England Patriots are following the same path as the Houston Texans in 2022 after losing the No. 1 overall pick.

Jerod Mayo went one-and-done as head coach of the Patriots, but was that the shortest coaching sting of all time?

The Patriots finished the 2024 season with a 4-13 record. Mayo's one-year tenure matches Rod Rust, who went 1-15 in 1990, for the shortest in franchise history.
