Patriots’ former character coach lands job with Texans

When news broke at the end of February that Jack Easterby, the New England Patriots‘ character coach, was leaving the team after six seasons, many wondered why. On Tuesday, the answer became clear: the Houston Texans announced the hire of Easterby as their new executive vice president of team development.

According to league sources cited in a report by The Boston Globe, Easterby “felt his time with the team had run its course” following the expiration of his contract, the Patriots’ victory over the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl 53, and the news that team owner Robert Kraft would be facing solicitation charges due to his role in a Florida massage parlor prostitution scandal.
