Washington has hired Steve Belichick as their defensive coordinator, marking a new challenge for the Belichick family. Unlike his father, Bill, who has never coached at the college level, Steve is excited to work with the team at Washington and make his own mark on coaching.
During a recent news conference, Steve spoke candidly about the differences between himself and his famous father. He joked that while Bill may be retired from coaching, he still has a job – albeit not in the NFL. Despite looking up to his father as a mentor, Steve emphasized that he is his own person and will not try to emulate his father’s coaching style at Washington.
Bill Belichick recently left his long-time position as head coach of the New England Patriots after interviewing for a single head coaching job with the Atlanta Falcons during the offseason. However, there have been no reports of him taking on any media roles in the interim. Instead, he will have to wait until the next offseason before resuming his coaching career in the NFL. In the meantime, Steve’s witty joke about his father’s job status remains relevant and highlights their unique relationship within the Belichick family.
