Eliot Wolf is expected to return as the lead personnel executive for the New England Patriots, per The Athletic’s Chad Graff. The news on Wolf comes after Patriots owner Robert Kraft announced the team’s decision to fire Jerod Mayo as head coach. Some wondered if a potential Mayo firing could lead to the team blowing the entire operation up.

Mario Ferraro produced a fight and the game-winning goal, Marc-Edouard Vlasic notched a point in his season debut and the San Jose Sharks broke an eight-game losing streak by edging the visiting Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1 on Thursday.

Pats fans were rooting for him. But as verbal missteps continued, it became obvious Mayo lacked the proper amount of head-coach training.
