The Patriots fired coach Jerod Mayo on Sunday after one season, beginning another reboot for the franchise just a year after it parted with longtime coach Bill Belichick.

Owner Robert Kraft announced the firing in a statement after the Patriots closed their 4-13 season with a 23-16 win over the AFC East champion Bills, who rested many players.

A former Pats LB who was as an assistant under Belichick, Mayo started the season with a strong endorsement from Kraft. But alongside a coaching staff that featured offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt and first-time defensive coordinator DeMarcus Covington, he struggled to get the most out of a young roster.

Mayo, 38, played eight seasons with the Patriots and won a Super Bowl during the 2014 season.

The Browns fired offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey and offensive line coach Andy Dickerson following their 3-14 season. Dorsey and Dickerson were with the Browns for just one season.
