‘Character coach’ Jack Easterby is leaving the Patriots

[Ring 6]

Not sure what his stance was. He never came out and publicly claimed he was leaving because of Kraft. At least I havent read anything like that.

His contract expired and he may have been looking for a change of scenery or more money.

If he left over Kraft then it’s a bad look imo. If you are a character coach I would assume you shouldn’t leave when adversity hits. You work to fix what’s wrong. I don’t know, not that big of a deal, there are so many good ones out there, it’s not like he can’t be replaced.

This article believes it was the reason but having your contract expire isn’t exactly quitting either.

True, it was written by yahoo with the mighty “Belichick unnamed source.”

Sometimes wives, family or greener pastures can influence these types of decisions... not sure had much to do with or attempt to influence our 77 year old owner...

I can’t remmeber who now, but somebody recently reported that Easterby was going to Indy with McDaniels last year until that fell apart. Any Kraft impact seems to be overblown. Easterby has been looking for other opportunities for at least a year.

Yup.
I think less than 50% of what gets “reported” from inside foxboro is real and most that has been slanted or embellished
“It was reported” is a very low standard of it being true

I don’t remember that but if true it is important. Well important to a not very important conversation.
