The younger Belichick worked with new Washington head coach Jedd Fisch in New England in 2020. Worth noting: three of the top eight ranked defenses in FBS this past year were led by defensive coordinators who’d come from the NFL (Michigan, ND and UCLA).

The younger Belichick was first hired by the Patriots in 2012 as a defensive assistant and he worked himself up to being promoted to safeties coach in 2016. He would then take over play-calling duties in 2019 when Brian Flores left to become head coach of the Miami Dolphins and has been the Patriots outside linebackers coach since 2020.

Last season, the Patriots ranked seventh in the NFL with an average of 301.6 yards allowed per game and allowed the seventh-fewest yards in the NFL despite the team’s disappointing 4-13 record.
