Breaking the Belichick Legacy: Steve Belichick Makes His Own Coaching Mark at the University of Washington
Steve Belichick is following in his father’s footsteps, taking on a new challenge as the defensive coordinator at the University of Washington. The Belichick family is known for their sense of humor, and Steve demonstrated this during a recent news conference. He joked about the differences between himself and his famous father, pointing out that unlike his father, he has a job while his father is currently not coaching.
Despite looking up to his father as a mentor, Steve emphasized that he is his own person and is excited to work with the team at Washington without trying to emulate his father’s coaching style. Bill Belichick recently departed from his long tenure as the head coach of the New England Patriots and interviewed for a single head coaching position with the Atlanta Falcons during the most recent offseason. However, he has yet to return to the NFL coaching scene. 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.
