Steve Belichick Leaving Patriots, Reuniting With Former Coach in Washington

Another Belichick is parting ways with the New England Patriots, with Steve Belichick reportedly set to take a position in the college ranks.

According to reports, he’s reuniting with former Patriots coach Jedd Fisch out at the University of Washington, with Fisch hiring Belichick to take over the defensive coordinator position.

The two were colleagues here in New England in 2020 when Fisch was the quarterbacks coach for the Patriots, with Fisch departing after that season to take over the job at the University of Arizona.

He was successful during his tenure, turning the program around after three seasons as the Wildcats went from 1-11 in 2021, to 5-7 in 2022, before finishing his final season 10-3, including an impressive 38-24 win in the Alamo Bowl over Oklahoma.
