Steve Belichick has reportedly landed another big coaching gig.
The younger Belichick is currently a defensive coordinator with the Washington Huskies and has done a great job with the program, having left the New England Patriots after his father, Bill Belichick, was let go earlier this year.
According to Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports and 247 Sports, Steve will join Bill at UNC after Washington’s bowl game.
“Steve Belichick is set to join his dad’s staff as North Carolina’s defensive coordinator after Washington’s bowl game, sources tell @CBSSports/@247Sports,” Zenitz reported on Sunday.
“As Washington’s DC this season, he’s improved the Huskies from 99th nationally in total defense last year to 26th this year.”
