Belichick Family Defense Under Fire | North Carolina Tar Heel Football News

North Carolina’s football team is in a tight spot as defensive coordinator Steve Belichick is on medical leave ahead of their season opener against TCU — and his father, head coach Bill Belichick, remains silent on return timelines. With Steve’s absence, Bill must step in to call the defense, a role he’s experienced in the NFL but not recently in college. The good news? Bill knows the system intimately, having coached alongside Steve and even served as defensive play caller for the Patriots. The Tar Heels are counting on Bill’s familiarity to keep the defense intact, though the real test is how much extra work he’s willing to shoulder — all while the team races to prepare for their August 29th game in Dublin.
