Steve Belichick, the son of legendary NFL coach Bill Belichick, is making a name for himself in the college coaching world with the University of Washington. Despite following in his father’s footsteps, Steve is carving out his own path and proving that he has what it takes to be a successful coach.
During a recent news conference, Steve was asked about the differences between himself and his father. While fellow coach Jedd Fisch took a diplomatic approach and joked about being his “mother’s son,” Steve didn’t hold back and humorously pointed out that he has a job while his father doesn’t. He expressed admiration for his father as a mentor but emphasized that he is his own person and looks forward to working with the team at Washington.
Bill Belichick, after 24 seasons as head coach of the New England Patriots, stepped down from the NFL coaching scene for the first time since 1974. Despite interviewing for one head-coaching position with the Atlanta Falcons this offseason, he was not selected for the job. There have been rumors of potential media roles for Bill Belichick, but it is likely that he will have to wait until next offseason to find his next coaching opportunity in the NFL. In the meantime, Steve Belichick’s joke about his father not having a job remains true.
