Brian Belichick Joins Father's Staff at North Carolina

Bill Belichick is assembling a family-oriented coaching staff at the University of North Carolina, where he has hired both of his sons, Steve and Brian Belichick. Steve has been named the defensive coordinator, while Brian will coach the safeties after spending five seasons in the same role with the New England Patriots. Both sons have strong ties to the Patriots, with Brian joining the scouting department in 2016 before moving up the coaching ranks. Their hiring reflects a continuation of the Belichick legacy in football, as they bring their combined experiences to the college level. The staff also includes former Patriots linebacker Jamie Collins, who will assist with the defense, primarily focusing on linebackers. This move signifies a strategic shift for Belichick as he transitions from the NFL to college football.
