Bill Belichick was surprisingly unable to land a coaching job this offseason. His son, on the other hand, was hired by Jedd Fisch to be his defensive coordinator at Washington.
Steve Belichick appeared on Chris Long’s “Green Light” podcast this week. While on the show, he was asked about his father’s departure from New England.
It sounds like Belichick is handling his situation as best as he can.
“I think he’s good. Let the stuff roll off your back and move forward,” Steve Belichick said, via Sports Illustrated. “He doesn’t dwell, unless we lost the game and he needs to get on some guys, but eventually you need to turn the page. Honestly I wasn’t too involved in any of that stuff, he did his thing, I did my thing and that was kind of that.”
Later in the podcast, Steve Belichick hinted at his father visiting Washington to evaluate the team. After all, there’s a connection between the Belichick family and Fisch.
“His hobbies would still be to critique football,” he continued. “So you know he was excited when I came out here because he got to evaluate the scheme last year, evaluate the players last year. I’m sure he’ll come out here at some point to do some stuff. The guy just loves football.”
It’ll be weird watching the NFL without Belichick on the sideline. He’s been coaching in some capacity since 1975.
That being said, Belichick could potentially land another job in 2025.
