Legendary NFL coach Bill Belichick has subtly distanced himself from the decision-making surrounding Jerod Mayo's failed head coaching tenure with the New England Patriots.

Speaking candidly on "The Pat McAfee Show" on Monday, Belichick said that he had no part in the controversial hire and that Patriots owner Robert Kraft and his inner circle operated independently.

In the wake of Mayo’s turbulent one-year stint that ended Sunday, Bill Belichick said:

“You know, the Patriots situation — I mean, honestly, I don't have too much of a comment on that. Robert Kraft, Jonathan Kraft, Robin Glazer — they're the decision-makers there, who exactly does what and so forth.
