Steve Belichick has taken on a new challenge as the defensive coordinator at the University of Washington. This is a departure from his father, Bill, who had never coached college before. The Belichick family is known for its sense of humor, and Steve demonstrated this during a recent press conference.
When asked about the differences between him and his famous father, Steve jokingly pointed out that he has a job while his father is not currently working. 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 in Washington without trying to emulate his father’s coaching style.
Bill Belichick recently left his long tenure as head coach of the New England Patriots. After interviewing for one head coaching position with the Atlanta Falcons last offseason, he has yet to return to the NFL coaching scene. While there have been rumors that Bill Belichick could potentially take over the media role in the interim, it appears he will have to wait until next offseason to resume his NFL coaching career. Until then, Steve Belichick’s witty joke about his father’s employment status remains relevant.
