Brian Belichick explains why he stayed with Patriots after his father's departure

Belichicks keep sticking around with the New England Patriots.

After Bill Belichick's 24 seasons and six Super Bowl titles, the cutoff sweatshirts won't be making an appearance on the sidelines, and his son, Steve, who spent 12 seasons as a Patriots assistant, also left the organization and is now the defensive coordinator at the University of Washington.

The last of Belichick's coaching sons, Brian, will remain on staff under new head coach Jerod Mayo.

He has been the team's safeties coach since 2020 and will remain in that position this season.

"I was thankful and happy to get the opportunity to coach here and was again thankful and happy to take advantage of it," Belichick said, via the team's official website.
