Report: Patriots 'character coach,' Bill Belichick confidant leaving amid Robert Kraft scandal

Count Jack Easterby among the many bothered by the solicitation charges facing New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft.

On the same day Kraft pleaded not guilty to two charges of soliciting prostitution at a Florida massage parlor, Easterby, the Patriots’ “character coach,” has reportedly resigned.

The Boston Globe reports that Easterby is leaving the team after six years on the job.

What exactly was that job?

The Globe describes Easterby as one of head coach Bill Belichick’s closest confidants, a man who helped guide the team through the Aaron Hernandez scandal and mentored Josh Gordon last season.
