Steve Belichick tries to carve his own path while coaching alongside famous father at UNC

Posted Aug 7, 2025
Coaching runs in the Belichick family, and now that familial coaching line runs directly through Chapel Hill. Steve Belichick, Bill’s father, coached at UNC in the mid-1950s, when the future NFL coaching legend was just a kid. Now Bill Belichick is back in Chapel Hill as the Tar Heels’ head coach and two of his sons, Steve and Brian, are on his coaching staff. (WRAL.com)
