Longtime New England Patriots coach Ivan Fears confirmed his retirement while catching up with Karen Guregian of the Boston Herald.
Fears, 67, has coached for 46 years and he’s spent 23 of them in the NFL with the Patriots. He was the wide receivers coach for multiple stints in the late 90s and he coached the running back crew from 2002-21. Fears has six Super Bowl wins from his time with the Patriots and he’s been the running back guru throughout the entire dynasty run.
His presence will be missed in numerous ways, but it sounds like he’ll still be actively involved with the team in some capacity.
