Putting this here, only because it could have potential NFL repercussions.

That was fast. Surprised it wasn't Vrabel.

This move allows them to bypass the Rooney Rule, too.

In May 2020 the NFL increased the requirements of the Rooney rule to require two external minority candidate interviews, rather than one, for head coaching jobs. In addition, teams must now interview at least one minority candidate for all coordinator positions. Also, teams and the NFL league office must also interview at least one minority candidate for senior-level positions, including general manager and club president jobs. Finally, for at least some positions, women may be interviewed to satisfy the requirement.

So I didn't know this until I read the article....Mayo's last contract extension named his as the next head coach, or HC in waiting. Since that was in the contract and was filed with the league they didnt have to interview anyone else. He just takes over.

And there was precedent with other teams doing similar in the past.

Could that contract of “HC in waiting” be written and skip Rooney rule for a non minority?
