NFL analyst's prediction that Jerod Mayo could be fired comes true - Getty
Jerod Mayo had been the heir apparent to Bill Belichick, but the succession plan had gone down in flames. Mayo was fired on Sunday following the New England Patriots' Week 18 win over the Buffalo Bills. The news was a shock to some, but some more than others.
On a special Saturday edition podcast of "Good Morning Football," one day before Mayo's dismissal, NFL analyst Peter Schrager claimed another AFC East team could end up head coach-less by the end of the Week 18 slate.
"Jerod Mayo got absolutely embarrassed on national TV [last week]," Schrager said. "He's playing for his job in a lot of ways. You can't lose [like] 40 to nothing in that game [last week]. So I find it fascinating."
