Another longtime member of the New England Patriots<\/strong><\/a> coaching staff is reportedly calling it a career very soon.<\/p>\n

On Monday, ESPN Boston’s Mike Reiss reported that running back’s coach Ivan Fears is expected to announce his retirement from professional football.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt should only be a matter of time before longtime Patriots running backs coach Ivan Fears announces his retirement after 31 NFL seasons and 25 with the Patriots,\u201d\u00a0Reiss wrote<\/a> in his quick hits column Monday.<\/p>\n

During his 25 seasons as a Patriots coach, Fears had two stints as wide receivers coach (1991-1992) (1999-2001) and became the running backs coach in 2002, a position he’s held ever since. During his tenure, Fears contributed to all six Patriots Super Bowl championships.<\/p>\n

Prior to Reiss’ report, there were some hints that retirement was near for Fears, especially once this emotional embrace<\/a> between Fears and Damien Harris was captured on camera.<\/p>\n

Despite moving away from the NFL full time, Reiss said Fears could possibly do some \u201cpart-time work\u201d for the Patriots.<\/p>\n

Should Fears retire, he’ll become the third prominent member of Bill Belichick’s staff to call it a career in recent seasons, joining Dante Scarnecchia and Ernie Adams. Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels is also reportedly leaving Foxboro to become the next head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders.<\/p>\n
