Belichick family is known for their sense of humor, albeit a dry one. This was evident during a recent news conference where Steve Belichick, the newly hired defensive coordinator at the University of Washington, spoke to reporters alongside head coach Jedd Fisch and offensive coordinator Brennan Carroll, son of former Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll.
When asked about his differences from his famous father, Steve didn’t hold back. He humorously pointed out that unlike his father, who is currently not coaching after departing from his long tenure as the head coach of the New England Patriots, he has a job at Washington. 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 without trying to emulate his father’s coaching style.
Bill Belichick has interviewed for a single head coaching position with the Atlanta Falcons during the most recent offseason but hasn’t yet returned to the NFL coaching scene. There have been rumors about him potentially taking on a media role in the interim, but 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.
