As expected, Steve Belichick will join his father, Bill Belichick at North Carolina as the Tar Heels’ defensive coordinator, according to multiple reports.

Per ESPN, Steve Belichick will coach his last game as Washington’s defensive coordinator in the Huskies’ Sun Bowl matchup against Louisville on New Year’s Eve. His $1.2 million buyout at Washington will expire after the game, and Belichick is expected to formalize an agreement with UNC soon after. Washington has already spoken with candidates to replace Belichick, according to the report.

News of Steve Belichick’s impending departure for UNC arrives weeks after North Carolina hired Bill Belichick as its head coach. A six-time Super Bowl champion with the New England Patriots, Bill Belichick stunned the football world by taking his first college coaching job at 72 years old. He was one season removed from stepping down as New England’s coach when he signed with UNC.

Steve Belichick spent 12 seasons on his dad’s staff with the Patriots in multiple roles from 2012 to 2023. He spent his final four seasons calling plays for New England’s defense while serving as a linebackers coach.

After Bill Belichick and the Patriots parted, Steve joined Washington coach Jedd Fisch’s staff as its defensive coordinator. He’ll leave the Huskies after a single season on staff. Washington’s defense ranks 27th in the nation in yards allowed with 324.8 per game.
