Bill Belichick makes major announcement about son Steve

Steve has long been one of his father’s trusted lieutenant. He held several roles on the New England Patriots’ defensive coaching staff while his father was head coach. He spent one year as defensive coordinator for the Washington Huskies, but left that job to take the same role at North Carolina when his father became head coach there.

There have even been claims that Steve could be his father’s long-term successor at North Carolina, though that talk was floating around before the Tar Heels’ underwhelming first season under Belichick.

This is just the latest in a long line of rather tumultuous developments for the Tar Heel program. General manager Michael Lombardi is on administrative leave over an HR complaint, while there have also been complaints about the general behavior of players.
