Brian Belichick explains why he stuck with Patriots after his father, brother’s exit

Plenty has changed for Brian Belichick over the past few months.

Now in his fifth year as the Patriots safeties coach, Belichick no longer shares the same offices as his father, Bill, and older brother, Steve.

New England parted ways with Bill Belichick in January after 24 seasons in Foxborough, while Steve Belichick joined the University of Washington as their defensive coordinator the following month.

Given all of the family upheaval at Gillette Stadium, it would have made plenty of sense for Brian Belichick to follow suit and take up coaching elsewhere.
