Patriots’ Steve Belichick named among 14 assistants ‘who should be head coaches in the near future’

Steve Belichick spent most of his life around the New England Patriots: the 33-year-old arrived in town when his father Bill took over the team’s head coaching position in 2000. The younger Belichick saw the Patriots establish a dynasty under his dad before joining the organization himself as a coaching assistant in 2012. Four years later, he was named safeties coach. Three years after that, he took over the entire secondary while also serving as co-play caller. This year, Belichick was moved to the outside linebacker position.

An up-and-comer in NFL coaching circles, Belichick’s future in the league will be interesting to watch: Will he stay with the Patriots and eventually take over his father’s position one year, or leave the team to gain new experiences elsewhere?
