Patriots DC DeMarcus Covington explains why team kept Brian Belichick and past staff members

The New England Patriots underwent several changes on the coaching staff this season. However, a few coaches from the Bill Belichick regime have remained on the staff.

One of those coaches is Bill Belichick’s son, safeties coach Brian Belichick.

The younger Belichick has been with the organization since 2016, when he joined the team as a scouting assistant. He was promoted to safeties coach in the 2020 season.

The safety position has been a strong one for the Patriots organization in recent years. Both Kyle Dugger and Jabrill Peppers formed a formidable duo last season.
