He said he had a great meeting with the new coach and was impressed with the guy.

He said there were "leadership" issues in the locker room this season with not every member of the team locked in and focused on the same "mission."

He said the leaking of the tape of Kraft's private remarks to the team was shocking and an indicator of the leadership issues that he had mentioned.

Plus, the lack of maturity in dealing with immediate wealth. Cars, the ladies, posses, slacking, etc.

Plus, lack of de facto team leaders who play hard, play well, are vocal, and who get the team's attention.

Plus, lack of playing with confidence and swagger.

Mack seems like a 2026 team captain.
