https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.c...-heavily-on-jack-easterby-in-coaching-search/ This is um... interesting. As one source explained it, Easterby was merely a summer intern with the Jaguars in 2004; indeed, he didn’t graduate from college until 2005. (This article from the Texans’ website says that Easterby served as “assistant director of football operations” for the Jaguars in 2005, creating the impression that he was hired for the position after graduating college, and in turn creating the impression that it wasn’t simply an internship.) The claim that Easterby served not as an intern but “assistant to the director of football operations” (or, as the case may be, “assistant director of football operations”) in Jacksonville was neither new nor accidental. An article on the Newberry College website announcing his arrival as an employee in 2012 contains the assertion that Easterby served as “assistant to the director of operations” with the Jaguars. That’s another inconsistency. Newberry College hired Easterby in 2012 to serve as “associate athletic director for strategic operations.” His online bio with the Texans never mentions this job; instead, it says this regarding the relevant time period: “Easterby served the Kansas City Chiefs organization for the 2011 and 2012 seasons in character development in a role created through the vision of Kansas City Chiefs General Manager Scott Pioli.” So how did Easterby perform both jobs in 2012? The job with the Chiefs wasn’t actually a job. As noted in this article from Seth Wickersham of ESPN.com, Easterby didn’t get paid. Instead, he traveled back and forth from South Carolina to Kansas City at no expense to himself personally.
Apparently, he was pushed out of New England (per Lance Zierlein). He made it seem like the Patriots hated him for leaving. He's been lying about a lot of things.
From Boston Sports Journal: https://www.bostonsportsjournal.com/2019/06/18/bedard-patriots-burning-mad-jack-easterby-texans/ Easterby, with his grander aspirations, had to know he had little chance of landing a personnel role under Belichick, who does not deviate from his belief that scouts and coaches should rise from the lowliest of ranks within an organization. So he began looking for other opportunities, with the Panthers and Dolphins (former Patriots defensive coordinator Brian Flores) among the potential suitors. Easterby and/or his agent let it be known he had other interest. Belichick attempted to retain Easterby, but he left for more power, a better title and more opportunity for the Texans. O'Brien did not overlap with Easterby in New England, and it is unknown how he came upon O'Brien's radar. But it's believed to be a combination of agent Bob Lamonte (who represents Caserio and Easterby) and Texans director of college scouting James Liipfert, the former Patriots scout. "Jack likes power. And maybe even more than that, he likes being around power," said a Patriots source. "He gets influence because he is someone (who is) trustworthy and knows how to connect with people so that they listen to him and so that they will communicate with him. He’s good at his job, which is having his finger on the pulse of the program and knowing how to connect with people."
From Chronicle in June 2020, beyond Pancakes' propaganda... : https://www.houstonchronicle.com/sp...How-Jack-Easterby-s-influence-is-13966737.php If you have followed the firing of general manager Brian Gaine and the Texans’ pursuit of New England director of player personnel Nick Caserio as his replacement, you must have read and heard of Jack Easterby, the team’s executive vice president of team development since April 2. Expect to hear more about Easterby as his influence continues to grow within the organization since he was hired by Gaine and coach Bill O’Brien after working six years in the Patriots’ front office and earning three Super Bowl rings. [...] Easterby, 36, has earned enough respect and trust to be part of the interview process with O’Brien, chairman Cal McNair, president Jamey Rootes and senior vice president of football administration Chris Olsen. [...] Easterby got his first job in the NFL with Jacksonville in 2005, where he spent one season as the assistant director of football operations.
So Jack Easterby is a fraud? Got it. So Jack Easterby is a bonafide scrub?! Par for the course. Get rid of him ASAP
Lance mentioned that too. Said Jack did have an issue with that and used that as his way of leaving. Apparently, there's more to the Kraft situation then we've been told.
CLEAN HOUSE! You cant leave behind any piece of a tumor or it will grow back. Easterby must go! (and this was my opinion before the fraud he committed on his resume surfaced - even more reason to send him packing.) This guy is supposed to be this character guru and borderline prophet, and here he is lying on his resume??? SMH.
So the website from the link on the Newberry College says - " He also traveled with the NFL's Kansas City Chiefs during the 2011 season assisting as a chaplain consultant." During 2012 he was "associate athletic director for strategic operations" at Newberry" The Houston Texans bio states - "Easterby served the Kansas City Chiefs organization for the 2011 and 2012 seasons in character development in a role created through the vision of Kansas City Chiefs General Manager Scott Pioli. " I'm screenshotting both webpages, and also emailing the honchos at the Texans for a please explain. Easterby was a "life coach" under BoB at the Patriots and ass kissed his way to a job here. Basically been a chaplin/life coach throughout his career and to the end of the Patriots tenure. Now he is in charge of operations at the Texans? GEEEEEEZ, GTFO
Easterby in not going to be GM. Cal knows he has to have someone for the time being. As been reported, Cal gave BoB the rope to hang himself (GM-title) to make sure there was no question who moves were being made. I think Cal may be more savvy than we think.
Feel free to chip in on your emails to the excec team.

I have the 2019 Texans team doc where it states he served as the assistant director of football operations at the Jags (now amended). But we need to question, as fans, why morally and legally Texans are hiring those who are blatantly lying on their resume and what are the long term implications of this. This needs to start now.
No ex-Patriots anymore please. Clean house. JfC just please get away from believing the success in New England is easily replicated.
LOLOLOLOL So apparently, our Executive VP of Football Operations, said himself that he doesn't like football operations. "Upon graduation in 2005, he landed a job with Jacksonville Jaguars football operations. Working mainly on salary cap matters, he quickly realized it didn't suit him." https://www.patriots.com/news/you-don-t-know-jack-the-most-influential-patriot-you-ve-never-heard-of
