Washington has welcomed a new addition to their coaching staff, Steve Belichick, who is the defensive coordinator. Belichick’s father, Bill, is known for his long tenure as the head coach of the New England Patriots and his dry sense of humor. Unlike his father, Steve Belichick has a job while Bill is currently not coaching. Despite looking up to him as a mentor, Steve emphasizes that he is his own person and excited to work with the team at Washington without trying to emulate his father’s coaching style.
During a recent news conference, Steve Belichick spoke alongside head coach Jedd Fisch and offensive coordinator Brennan Carroll, son of former Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll. When asked about the differences between himself and his famous father, Steve humorously pointed out that unlike his father, he has a job while his father is currently not coaching. While there have been rumors about Bill Belichick potentially taking on a media role in the interim, it appears he will have to wait until the next offseason to resume his coaching career in the NFL. Until then, Steve Belichick’s witty joke about his father’s job status remains relevant.
