Steve Belichick, son of legendary NFL coach Bill Belichick, revealed what’s in store for his father after he failed to land a head coaching job this offseason.
Steve Belichik made an appearance on “Green Light with Chris Long,” where he divulged his father’s intentions for the new NFL season, which includes a television role.
“He’s definitely doing other things, whether it’s television or a regular show on ‘Green Light’ or whatever,” he said of his father.

Steve Belichick also discussed how his father was recovering after leaving the Patriots after 24 years of dominance that included six Super Bowl rings.
“I think it’s good, you know?” Steve Belichick said after being asked if his father was “ok” leaving the Patriots. “Let things fall off your back and move on. He doesn’t stop unless we lose the game and need to attack some guys, but eventually you have to move on. Honestly, I wasn’t too involved in any of that stuff. “He did his thing, I did mine and that was pretty much it.”
It wasn’t for lack of trying that Bill Belichick didn’t land a head coaching job. He interviewed with the Atlanta Falcons twice following their mutual parting ways with the Patriots, which came after a dismal 4-13 season.

However, the Falcons and owner Arthur Blank decided to go with former Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris for the job. Several other teams, including the Los Angeles Chargers, Seattle Seahawks and Washington Commanders, also did not sign Belichick.
In turn, the role of the media became a topic of conversation in NFL circles regarding Belichick.

Of course, Belichick was known for being stoic when asked questions by the media during his many years as a head coach. But an appearance before this year’s Army-Navy Game on ESPN’s “College GameDay” might have changed some opinions about what he would be like as an NFL analyst, especially after he put a 1962 Navy helmet on his head. .
“I hope he just goes out there and be himself and… shows his personality a little bit, which he doesn’t do most of the time unless you’re in the building,” Steve Belichick said. “… Putting on the helmet and stuff like that, he really likes it, but no one sees it. And so, I was happy that people at least saw a better side of him that not a lot of people do.” see.”
Steve Belichick took over as defensive coordinator for the Washington Huskies this month even though Jerod Mayo, his father’s successor with the Patriots, offered him and his brother, Brian, a spot on his staff, according to Sports Illustrated.
He joined his father’s staff in New England in 2012, serving as an assistant coach before rising through the ranks. He was named safeties coach before the 2016 season, when the Pats finally won it all with Malcolm Brown’s famous goal-line interception against the Seahawks.
