Steve Belichick Joins Washington as Defensive Coordinator

Son of Bill Belichick to lead Huskies' defense, marking a new chapter for Washington's coaching staff with NFL pedigree

Steve Belichick, son of Bill Belichick, has been hired as the new defensive coordinator for the University of Washington, marking his first coaching role outside of the New England Patriots.
Belichick's hire is part of a significant coaching overhaul at Washington, following the departure of head coach Kalen DeBoer to Alabama. Jedd Fisch, previously with Arizona, has taken over as head coach.
The new coaching staff at Washington includes other NFL connections, such as Brennan Carroll, son of Pete Carroll, who will serve as the offensive coordinator.
Steve Belichick's NFL experience, particularly in defensive play-calling for the Patriots, is seen as a key asset for Washington as it transitions into the Big Ten Conference.
Washington's football program aims to build on its recent success, including a national championship game appearance, with a coaching staff that blends NFL experience and collegiate aspirations.
