Bill Belichick called former Patriots team chaplain Jack Easterby a “very valuable” member of the organization when he was in New England, but he indicated Monday that he’s surprised by Easterby’s present role as interim general manager of the Houston Texans.
Easterby, who has held the position since early October, isn’t someone the Patriots head coach envisioned holding such a position.
“Jack’s not a personnel person, no,” Belichick said.
The Patriots head coach said Easterby “did a great job” with the Patriots and had a varied role working with players, coaches, support people, and others as a character coach.
