Steve Belichick on Medical Leave | North Carolina Tar Heel Football News

Steve Belichick, son of legendary coach Bill Belichick and defensive coordinator for North Carolina football, is on medical leave as his father confirmed a personal health situation — while hoping for a swift return. The Tar Heels’ defense struggled mightily last season, surrendering over 24 points and 336 yards per game in a 4-8 campaign. Steve’s move from Washington — where he also faced defensive struggles — hasn’t yielded the hoped-for success, with most of his former Huskies staff and players now gone, including key transfers like linebacker Khmori House to Arkansas and cornerback Thaddeus Dixon sidelined by a torn Achilles. Despite the skepticism about stepping out of his father’s shadow, Steve’s decision to join UNC was widely anticipated — but the results so far haven’t matched expectations.
