FOX analyst Rob Gronkowski was about to tee off on New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft before a commercial break completely cut him off.
In a move that surprised many, the Patriots fired head coach Jerod Mayo immediately after their Week 18 home win against the Buffalo Bills. Speaking on the matter, Rob Gronkowski expressed great confusion at the “NFL on FOX” desk.
Gronkowski said the firing of Mayo was “unfair”, stating that he didn’t get the opportunity to grow as a coach. The former Patriots star turned to FOX Sports colleague Jimmy Johnson and pointed out how he went 1-15 in his first year before leading the Dallas Cowboys to two Super Bowls.
Just when it looked like Rob Gronkowski was prepared to light into Kraft, however, Michael Strahan cut his colleague off and said they were about to head into a commercial break:
Is it just us, or was the “timing” of that commercial break a little too convenient? Hmm…
Regardless, it’s not a good look on Kraft that he’ll soon be on his third head coach in as many years. It was known for a while that Mayo would eventually succeed Bill Belichick as the HC, so giving up on the former after just one year is a curious decision.

Gronk led the Patriots to three Super Bowl titles during his nine-year run with the organization. He was teammates with Mayo, a standout linebacker, for six years in New England.
