The Patriots hired Jack Easterby as their character

coach after Aaron Hernandez’s arrest for murder in 2013. His job is whatever is needed.“My job is to serve anybody and everybody in the building Ndamukong Suh Jersey , to help them however I can, to help us be prepared on and off the football field, to be prepared as men, as people, and hopefully stay out of the way,” Easterby said, via Ryan Hannable of WEEI. “And then also to be the glue for our team. We have a lot of issues that come up throughout the year Dante Fowler Jersey , as you can imagine. It’s a roller coaster — a six-month roller coaster that we go through as a team.”The Patriots never allowed the media to interview Easterby until Monday at Opening Night of Super Bowl LIII.He spent much of this season working with Josh Gordon, who is back in an inpatient drug treatment facility in Gainesville, Florida, after an indefinite NFL suspension. Easterby leaves spiritual and motivational cards in players’ lockers and invites conversations by being all around the facility.“When you lead people, you need to be with them at all points,” Easterby said. “And to me, one of the biggest things is you come in as a servant no matter if you’re winning and you’ve won Super Bowls — which we’ve been blessed to do — or if you are going through challenges C.J. Anderson Jersey , like we did when I first got here. You have to serve. You have to take the kid gloves off. You’ve got to get dirty and serve and work through any and every issue that’s thrown your way.” Rams coach Sean McVay has greatly exceeded expectations in his first two years on the job. That gives the Rams a bargain over the next three years, as he continues to work through a deal that is believed to pay him $4 million per year.The Rams seem to be willing to enjoy that bargain, at least for now.Via Gary Klein of the , Rams COO Kevin Demoff recently said that the team will be focusing for now on contracts for the guys who are on the field, explaining that he’s “making sure the players we need to extend are done.”Still, there’s no doubt the Rams want McVay over the long haul. And they should.“Becoming a face of the team in Los Angeles and, really Eric Weddle Jersey , becoming one of the faces of the NFL, is everything you hope when you go into the head coaching process,” Demoff said. “Not just to find a great coach but to find an amazing leader and steward for our franchise.“As you go to make sure that your [core] players are here for a long time, obviously the goal is to make sure your coaching staff is here a long time. . . . Our goal is always to make sure this group can stay together for as long as possible.”That’s fine, but the idea that the Rams can’t extend McVay until they extend their key players is a bit flimsy. There’s no salary cap for coaches, so that’s no impediment to rewarding McVay. The reality is that the Rams have gotten a great return on their investment in McVay, and they feel no need to increase that investment. But they need to be careful Austin Blythe Jersey , because there’s also no franchise tag for coaches, and McVay should consider finishing out the next three years, becoming a free agent, and then striking it rich as the highest-paid coach in NFL history.
