NFL and coaching is in the blood of the Belichick family! Bill Belichick is considered one of the legendary coaches in the league. At the age of 71, he still is associated with the NFL, despite being fired from the New England Patriots this year.

Nevertheless, as Belichick finds his way to coach or work for the league, similarly his children are passionate about following their dream jobs, which is coaching. Let’s delve deeper into the six-time Super Bowl winning head coach’s personal life and talented children.

Following their dad’s path?

Bill Belichick, isn’t just known for his success on the football field, but also for his role as a father. He has three children in total: daughter Amanda and sons Steve and Brian, from his previous marriage to Debby Clarke Belichick. Despite Bill’s father advising against coaching, he encouraged his kids to pursue their passions. Consequently, all three children followed in their father’s footsteps and became coaches themselves.

Amanda, the oldest, born in 1984, excelled in lacrosse before becoming a coach. She found herself in the coaching world, just like her father, and is currently the head coach of the women’s lacrosse team at the College of the Holy Cross. Despite not intending to follow her father’s path, she has found fulfillment in coaching and credits her father as a mentor.

Steve, born in 1987, played lacrosse in college before joining the Patriots’ coaching staff in 2012. He started as a coaching assistant and worked his way up to coaching the outside linebackers. Working under his father has been a rewarding experience for Steve, who admires and respects his dad immensely.

Brian, the youngest, graduated from Trinity College and joined the Patriots’ scouting department in 2016. He later became a coaching assistant, following his brother’s footsteps. Steve, proud of his brother’s progress, has enjoyed teaching and shaping Brian’s understanding of football.

What’s next for Bill Belichick?

Steve Belichick recently hinted at his father’s future plans. As per the reports, Bill won’t be coaching an NFL team in 2024, but he might still be involved in the league in a different way, possibly as a TV analyst. Steve mentioned this possibility during an interview on the podcast “Green Light” with former Patriot Chris Long.

He also commented on Bill’s departure from coaching, saying, “I think he’s good. Let the stuff roll off your back and move forward. [Bill] doesn’t dwell – unless we lost a game and he needs to get on some guys – but eventually you’ve got 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.” Despite not being directly involved in the decision-making processes, Steve believes his father is exploring new opportunities, including TV appearances.

While Bill is mostly known for his coaching and GM roles, he has previously shown his personality and humor, particularly in appearances like the “100 All-Time Team” special with Tom Brady. So, it’s possible that he could transition smoothly into a TV analyst role, leveraging his charisma in different capacity within the football world.
