Turns out there will still be a Belichick in Foxborough after all.
Patriots safeties coach Brian Belichick — the youngest son of former head coach Bill Belichick — is remaining with New England and will join Jerod Mayo’s staff, according to ESPN’s Mike Reiss.
Reiss noted that Belichick has a strong working relationship with Mayo, who was named the 15th head coach in franchise history last month. Belichick has been in Foxborough for eight seasons, spending the past four years as the team’s safeties coach.
It remains to be seen what Belichick’s exact role with the Patriots will be in 2024 and beyond, but he could slot right back in as the team’s safeties coach under Mayo and recently promoted defensive coordinator DeMarcus Covington.
