Steve Belichick has accepted the University of Washington defensive coordinator job, sources confirmed to ESPN.

Belichick, son of former Patriots coach Bill Belichick, has spent the past 12 years as a defensive assistant in New England, including five as a defensive playcaller.

Steve Belichick, 36, previously worked with newly hired Washington head coach Jedd Fisch in 2020, when Fisch was the Patriots' quarterbacks coach.

Sources confirmed to ESPN last month that Steve Belichick and his brother Brian, also a Patriots defensive assistant, were offered an opportunity to remain with New England under new coach Jerod Mayo.
